# Api Rename App

`POST /api/apps/{app_id}/rename`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://app.getdot.ai` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://app.getdot.ai/api/apps/{app_id}/rename`
- Auth: one of:
  - API key in header `X-API-KEY`
  - API key in cookie `Authorization`
  - OAuth 2 (password, token URL `/api/auth/token`)

Rename an app — metadata-only edit of the <title> tag.

A title change can't introduce build errors, so this bypasses the
full PUT/build path (which 409s on any pre-existing build failure
and would silently lose the rename). The app_id / URL / filename
stay stable so share links and bookmarks survive.

Mirrors the new title onto the active build's `shell.json` so a
cold reload reflects the rename without waiting for a rebuild.

- `app_id` string, required
