# Dismiss an alert

`PUT /api/v1/alerts/{id}/dismiss`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.dmarc-examiner.com`
- URL: `https://api.dmarc-examiner.com/api/v1/alerts/{id}/dismiss`
- Auth: API key in header `X-API-Key`

Marks an alert as dismissed. There is no endpoint to reopen a dismissed alert.

This endpoint is **idempotent**: calling it on an already-dismissed alert returns
the same `200` response without side effects.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, uuid, required

## Response `200`

Alert dismissed

- object
  - `id` string, uuid, required
  - `status` string, required
  - `message` string, required

## Other responses

- `401`: Authentication failed. Two shapes are possible depending on cause: - **Invalid or revoked key** — body is `{"message": "..."}` only. - **Missing `X-API-Key` header** — body adds an `error: "unauthorized"` machine-readable code. Clients should treat both as the same outcome and read `message` for display.
- `403`: The organization's current plan does not include the feature required by this endpoint (e.g. `apiAccess`, `forensicReports`, `advancedAlerts`). Distinct from `PlanLimitExceeded` (HTTP 402), which signals a *quota* exhausted on a feature the plan does include. If a customer downgrades to Free, all `/api/v1/*` requests will start returning this response.
- `404`: Resource not found.
- `429`: Rate limit exceeded.
- `500`: Internal server error.
