`POST /api/v1/sites/{site}/stretches`

Leave a stretch out of comparisons: its views stay counted, and what is usual is worked out without them.

## Parameters

- `site` (in path, needed): A site's id or name

## What to send

`StretchCreate`: Leave a stretch out of comparisons. What is left out of the request is empty, and is refused as that: after it is known that the site is the asker's to change.

- `from` (string): `2026-10-08T15:00`, in the site's own time.
- `until` (string)
- `why` (string): 1 to 280 characters. Shown on the chart with who said it.

## The answer

201, `StretchView`: A stretch left out of comparisons (the Dialogs board). Its views stay counted and on the chart; what is usual is worked out without them.

- `by` (string, needed): Who vouched for it.
- `from` (integer, needed): Unix seconds.
- `id` (string, needed)
- `made` (integer, needed)
- `says` (string, needed): From when to when, in words, in the site's own time.
- `undone` (integer or null): When it was undone, if it was. It counts again from then.
- `undone_by` (string, needed)
- `until` (integer, needed)
- `why` (string, needed)
