# Unarchive a meter

`POST /v1/meters/{id}/unarchive`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.creem.io`
- URL: `https://api.creem.io/v1/meters/{id}/unarchive`
- Auth: API key in header `x-api-key`
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/creem/apis/creem-api/docs/v1/meters/:id/unarchive/post.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Restore an archived meter: it returns to the default listing and resumes accruing usage from the next matching event. Idempotent — unarchiving an active meter returns it unchanged. No gate applies and none is needed: archiving never released the meter's name, because per-store name uniqueness counts archived meters (which is why creating a meter with an archived meter's name returns 409 `meter_name_taken` with `details.archived_holder`), and it never altered the definition. Usage ingested while the meter was archived is retained as raw events and IS folded back in for any period still inside the late-event window, since a period is recomputed in full rather than incrementally — so units for an open period can increase by more than the usage seen since the unarchive. Finalized periods are not moved.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Response `200`

Meter unarchived (or already active)

- MeterApiResponseDto
