# ClaimSeatRequest

The request body that contains the information to claim a seat in a group subscription that uses developer-hosted invitations.

```
object ClaimSeatRequest
```

## Discussion

This is the request body for the [`Claim Seat`](/documentation/AppStoreServerAPI/Claim-Seat) endpoint.

Generate a new [`requestIdentifier`](/documentation/AppStoreServerAPI/ClaimSeatRequest/requestIdentifier) for each claim, and save it before you call the endpoint. If the request fails or times out, retry it with the same `requestIdentifier`. If the original request claimed a seat, the endpoint returns that [`seatClaimId`](/documentation/AppStoreServerAPI/seatClaimId) instead of claiming a second seat.

If you include the [`appTransactionId`](/documentation/AppStoreServerAPI/ClaimSeatRequest/appTransactionId), the App Store associates the customer with the seat as part of the claim. If you learn the `appTransactionId` later, call the [`Associate Seat`](/documentation/AppStoreServerAPI/Associate-Seat) endpoint.
