The request
Reference for Put back job, HeadHoncho API v1. It is a command, sent to the base address https://api.headhoncho.app.
POST /api/v1/commands/put-back-job
The key needs the Money area at do. An answered call costs 1 credit; a refusal costs nothing. See credits.
It runs the app's own command put-back-job. Send an Idempotency-Key header with every call: the same key with the same body returns the first answer and runs nothing twice. See the model.
Parameters
| Name | Kind | Required | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
worker_id | id, in the JSON body | Yes | The technician, from Who am I's technicians. | wrk_7a12 |
job_id | id, in the JSON body | Yes | The job id, or its number. | job_1138 |
Try it with your key
Paste your key and change the values. The box builds the call as a cURL line and a fetch line, ready to copy. It never sends anything itself.
Your key stays in this page and is never sent anywhere. Copy the line below and run it yourself.
What comes back
accepted, worker_id, job_id, number, hold_id and position. A job that is not held back is refused by name.
It never deletes anything. It changes only what the command names, and it writes the change to the job's history with who asked for it.
Every field in the answer
Types are read from the example answer. Money is a plain number in the company's currency. A time carries its offset from UTC (Z is UTC). Ids are opaque text. A field with no line of its own here has its name spelled out; the common fields mean the same on every page.
| Field | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
accepted | true or false | True when the command ran. A command that cannot run is an error instead. |
worker_id | id (text) | The id of the worker. |
position | whole number | Where the change landed in the event log. Pass it as after on a read to see your own write. |
job_id | id (text) | The id of the job. |
number | whole number | The number people say out loud, such as the job number. |
hold_id | id (text) | The id of the hold. |
