Create 911 Call

POST https://api.sonorancad.com/v2/emergency/servers/{serverId}/calls/911

Rate limit: 10 requests per minute
Authenticated v2 endpoints are rate limited per API key rather than per IP address.

Create a new 911 call for a server.

Path Parameters

Name	Type	Description
`serverId`	integer	Configured Sonoran CAD server ID.

Request Body

Common metaData keys used by the CAD:

Property	Type	Required	Description
`isEmergency`	boolean	Yes	Whether the 911 should be marked as an emergency call.
`caller`	string	Yes	Caller name or label shown in CAD.
`location`	string	Yes	Human-readable location or address.
`description`	string	Yes	Call details shown to dispatchers.
`deleteAfterMinutes`	integer	No	Schedule automatic deletion after creation.
`metaData`	object	No	Additional string key/value metadata. Pass `x` and `y` coordinate values to enable live map placement, 911 screenshot rendering, and coordinate-based dispatch tools. `z`, `postal`, `block`, `code`, and `priority` may also be supplied when applicable.

Use this tab only when calling the v2 API from the server side of an in-game FiveM resource.

Sonoran.lua and Sonoran.js: use the sonorancad export to get the ready CAD client.
Sonoran.Net: FiveM exports do not return a .NET client. Read the Sonoran CAD convars and create a fresh client.
Sonoran.py: FiveM does not run Python resources; use the Python tab for external integrations.

The API key is stored in sonoran_apiKey as a protected FiveM convar. FiveM restricts a convar after add_convar_permission is configured, so only explicitly permitted resources can read it. Grant another resource access with add_convar_permission your-resource-name read sonoran_apiKey. If you change the API key in config.json, fully restart the sonorancad resource before reading the updated convar value.Sonoran.lua
