post_rfqRequest quotes on the OPN Trade Exchange for a Design Studio project or a PackIndex material code to up to 3 suppliers. listing_ids (from find_suppliers) or, by default, the 3 best-matching listings get an RFQ — needs a verified e-mail and an Exchange plan with RFQs (Business+). company_slugs (converters from find_suppliers) ask those companies to quote; the Exchange contacts them for the buyer, anonymously. Real e-mails are sent — confirm the selection with the user first.
