{% openapi src="/files/tS7iy6rAuIkGHKwGEjPi" path="/tsa/stamp/rfc3161/{processId}" method="post" %}
[swagger.json](https://3506709286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FLcKVZXOrBb4jDUyxEWMc%2Fuploads%2Fhjpyez99IbtowAQFhxrR%2Fswagger.json?alt=media\&token=a12a6e62-f9fe-4329-b2ef-f659f7de3c93)
{% endopenapi %}
