# Record that the page is gone, or put it back live

`POST /corroborations/{id}/archive`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.epovest.com/v1`
- URL: `https://api.epovest.com/v1/corroborations/{id}/archive`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

The body is the STATE you want: omitted it records that the page is gone, `{"archived":
false}` puts it back live, and replaying it never undoes what it just did. The line and its
history stay, because "they talked about us from March to July" is information. A recording
mistake is fixed with a PATCH. Manager or above.

## Request body

- ArchiveState: The STATE you want. Omitted, it files away; both moves answer the same when replayed.
  - `archived` boolean

## Response `200`

The corroboration, taken down or back live.

- CorroborationEnvelope
  - `corroboration` Corroboration, required
    - `id` string, uuid, required
    - `project_id` string, uuid, required
    - `url` string, required: The exact page.
    - `domain` string, required: The registrable domain the page sits on, derived from the address by the same normalizer as the Atlas. Correcting the `url` always recomputes it.
    - `label` string, nullable, required
    - `notes` string, nullable, required
    - `published_on` string, date, nullable, required: The day the page was PUBLISHED, distinct from `created_at`, the day it was recorded. It is the publication date that means something against the citation curves.
    - `author` string, nullable, required
    - `request_channel` 'available' | 'none' | 'unknown', required: Whether someone can be asked to change the page: `available` (a contact or a process exists), `none` (nobody to ask) or `unknown` (not filled in, the default). Three states, because "no channel" and "not filled in" are two different facts.
    - `monitoring` 'off' | 'daily' | 'weekly' | 'monthly', required: The cadence of the automatic watching of a corroboration. Each executed check runs the same pass as the on-demand check and debits the prepaid balance per executed check.
    - `monitoring_paused` boolean, required: True while the passes wait on the balance, the cadence kept: a top-up resumes them as they were.
    - `archived` boolean, required
    - `page_check` PageCheck, required: The latest reading of the page, refreshed by `POST /corroborations/{id}/verify` and by the watching cadence.
      - `readability` 'pending' | 'html' | 'unreadable' | 'blocked' | 'unreachable' | 'no_page', required
      - `checked_at` string, date-time, nullable, required
      - `http_status` integer, nullable, required
      - `mention` object, required: The finding on the passage around the brand: `unchanged`, `changed` (the passage moved, worth re-reading), `figures` (it moved on NUMBERS only, such as a rank or a counter, so `changed_at` stays where it was) or `gone` (the page did not answer).
        - `finding` 'unchanged' | 'changed' | 'figures' | 'gone' | 'null', nullable
        - `excerpt` string, nullable
        - `excerpt_before` string, nullable: The passage as it stood BEFORE `changed_at`, so comparing the two texts says what moved without reading the whole page again.
        - `extractor` string, nullable
        - `changed_at` string, date-time, nullable
      - `link` object, nullable, required: The finding on the links of the page towards the addresses of the brand.
        - `finding` 'unchanged' | 'changed' | 'gone' | 'none'
        - `changes` unknown[]
          - unknown
        - `outbound` integer, nullable
        - `noindex` boolean, nullable
        - `page_nofollow` boolean, nullable
        - `canonical_elsewhere` string, nullable
        - `links` LinkSighting[]
          - `url` string
          - `kind` string, nullable
          - `anchor` string, nullable
          - `rel` string[]: The rel tokens of the link, among `nofollow`, `sponsored` and `ugc`.
          - `html_target` string, nullable
          - `title` string, nullable
          - `in_main_content` boolean, nullable
          - `nature` string, nullable
          - `final_url` string, nullable
          - `hops` integer, nullable
          - `final_status` integer, nullable
          - `first_seen` string, date-time
          - `last_seen` string, date-time
          - `changed_at` string, date-time, nullable
    - `created_at` string, date-time, required

## Other responses

- `401`: `unauthenticated`: missing, unknown or revoked key.
- `403`: `insufficient_scope`: the credential may not do this, either because the key lacks the scope, or, on a one-click connection, because the person lacks the role the action needs (manager, or owner to start, pause and top up). On that path, read it as "this person may not do this" and tell them which role the action needs.
- `404`: `not_found`: unknown for this account.
- `422`: `invalid_corroboration`: `archived` must be a boolean.
- `429`: `rate_limited`: 120 requests per minute per credential, sliding window. Retry after `Retry-After` seconds.
