Responses

HeaderType and limitsMeaning
Cache-Controlstring; {"pattern":"(?:^|,\\s*)no-store(?:,|$)"}Private API responses prohibit storage. Public OAuth metadata is cached for 300 seconds; live streams additionally prohibit transformation.

Referrer-PolicyJSON; {"enum":["strict-origin-when-cross-origin","no-referrer"]}The default referrer policy is strict-origin-when-cross-origin. Provider-login responses use no-referrer to protect login parameters.
VarystringResponses vary by Accept-Language; browser-rendered responses can also vary by the preference cookie.
X-Content-Type-OptionsJSON; {"const":"nosniff"}The browser must use the declared content type.
X-Frame-OptionsJSON; {"const":"DENY"}The response must not be embedded in a frame.
X-Request-IDstringServer-generated request identifier. Include this when reporting an error; inbound values are not trusted.

$.config (anyOf 1).policyJSON; {"enum":["any","all","quorum"],"default":"quorum"}NoDefaults to quorum with two distinct locations. Select at least two compatible locations. Explicit any/all policies remain available; two failed confirmations per location are required by default. For Ping quorum checks with N locations and failure quorum Q, N−Q+1 freshly confirmed healthy locations establish availability; Q confirmed failed locations establish an outage. Other results remain unconfirmed or unknown. Ambiguous Ping results can trigger a fast follow-up at the same location, limited to two per monitor and one per location per minute, within the existing check budget. Manual tests never affect availability. Earlier coverage gaps remain unchanged.

$.config (anyOf 2)JobMonitorConfigNoChoose a fixed UTC interval or a five-field cron expression with an IANA time zone. Use signal=heartbeat for simple accepted heartbeats, or signal=run for execution events. Without a schedule, runs are event-driven. Pause and configuration changes reset future expectations.
$.config (anyOf 2).cronstringNoFive cron fields with lists, ranges, steps and supported month/weekday names.
$.config (anyOf 2).max_runtime_secondsinteger; {"maximum":604800,"minimum":60}NoOptional; no runtime limit when omitted
$.config (anyOf 2).timezonestringNoIANA time zone; required with cron
$.config (anyOf 2).tolerance_secondsinteger; {"maximum":86400,"minimum":5}NoAllowed delay in seconds. Cron requires at least 30 seconds; fixed intervals allow at least five. Default: 300, or half the interval for intervals shorter than 600 seconds.
$.config (anyOf 2).interval_secondsinteger; {"minimum":30,"maximum":604800}NoFixed interval in seconds (30 to 604800), independent of daylight saving. Cannot be combined with cron or timezone.

Retries and asynchronous work

This operation reads or validates without applying a resource mutation. Respect rate limits and credential lifetime.

Request examples

Replace demo IDs, timestamps and placeholders with your own values. For a retry, keep the same IDs, time and content. These examples do not run requests on this page.

Keep login links, codes, cookies and keys private. Do not print them in logs or share them in support requests.
