# Change one Hive entry point’s name, settings or status. Pausing it deadens every printed code and shared link immediately.

`POST /api/v1/tools/update_entry_point`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://hivepublish.com`
- URL: `https://hivepublish.com/api/v1/tools/update_entry_point`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

This reaches real people, so the person is asked before it runs. Their own AI client asks them. When the connection was made with Hive approvals switched on, the first call returns a single-use Hive approval link instead of acting, and the exact request is repeated with approvalToken and an Idempotency-Key once they approve it inside Hive.

## Headers

  - `flowId` string
  - `accountId` string
  - `kind` 'referral_link' | 'qr_code' | 'website_button'

    - `source` string
    - `medium` string
    - `campaign` string

      - `foregroundColor` string: Six-digit hex color.
      - `backgroundColor` string: Six-digit hex color.
