# Run ad-hoc sync

`POST /companies/{companyId}/connections/{connectionId}/bankFeedAccounts/{sourceAccountId}/managedBankFeeds/syncs`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.codat.io`
- URL: `https://api.codat.io/companies/{companyId}/connections/{connectionId}/bankFeedAccounts/{sourceAccountId}/managedBankFeeds/syncs`
- Auth: API key in header `Authorization`

The _Run ad-hoc sync_ endpoint immediately runs a sync with a fetch period from the last successful sync to the execution time of the new sync.

A sync is a single execution that fetches bank transactions from a connected bank account and records them in the company's accounting software.

Use either the [_Get latest sync_](https://docs.codat.io/bank-feeds-api#/operations/get-latest-managed-bank-feed-sync) endpoint or the [_Get sync_](https://docs.codat.io/bank-feeds-api#/operations/fetch-managed-bank-feed-sync-by-id) endpoint to get the result of this sync.
