Request an identifier change

POST
/v1/id/change-identifier/request
curl --request POST \
  --url https://your-tenant-host/v1/id/change-identifier/request \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'x-edgekit-site-id: site_example' \
  --cookie ek.session_token=<ek.session_token> \
  --data '{ "newEmail": "new-address@example.com" }'

Step one of verify-then-swap: sends a code to the new address. Answers 200 whether or not the address is already held, so it cannot be used to enumerate users — a collision surfaces on confirm. A retry supersedes the outstanding code and spends the per-address limit.
