Renewal can be done for `VIRTUAL` cards and activated `PLASTIC` cards that were created or reissued with the `validity_period_hours` field set to a defined value greater than zero. When a card reaches its `valid_until` date, the card's status is set to `INOPERATIVE`. When this happens, a [Card updated](https://developers.pismo.io/events/docs/cards-update-1) event is generated. For existing cards that never had `validity_period_hours` defined, you can do it through this endpoint. When the card is renewed: * A new `valid_until` date is calculated and a [Card updated](https://developers.pismo.io/events/docs/cards-update-1) event is generated with `operation type` = `CARD_VALIDITY_RENEWAL`. * If the card's status is `INOPERATIVE`, the status changes to `NORMAL`. * If the card's status is `NORMAL`, `REISSUED`, `BLOCKED`, `PENDING` or `WARNING`, the status remains the same. **Note:** This endpoint requires an account token - an access token encoded with a Pismo account ID. Tokens can expire quickly, which can result in a **401 Unauthorized** error message. # OpenAPI definition ```json { "openapi": "3.1.0", "info": { "title": "Card issuing - Cards", "version": "1.4.6", "description": "Card endpoints API", "contact": { "name": "API Support", "url": "https://developers.pismo.io/support/" }, "license": { "name": "Copyright Pismo" } }, "servers": [ { "url": "https://sandbox.pismolabs.io", "description": "Sandbox API server for testing." }, { "url": "https://gw-pci.pismolabs.io", "description": "Sandbox PCI API server for testing." } ], "security": [ { "BearerAuth": [] } ], "tags": [ { "name": "Card validity", "description": "Endpoints to manage card validity period." } ], "components": { "parameters": { "cardId": { "in": "path", "name": "cardId", "schema": { "type": "string" }, "description": "Pismo card ID", "example": "12345", "required": true } }, "schemas": { "CardID2": { "type": "integer", "description": "Pismo card ID", "example": 123456 }, "CardStatus": { "type": "string", "description": "Card status enum.
