# Replay a dead-lettered event against the original webhook URL

`POST /v1/webhooks/dead-letters/{dlid}/replay`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.honkio.ca`
- URL: `https://api.honkio.ca/v1/webhooks/dead-letters/{dlid}/replay`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in header `X-API-Key`

Sends the event again, signed with a fresh timestamp and marked X-HonkIO-Replay: true. 200 { status: "replayed" } when your endpoint accepted it; 502 { status: "failed", http_status, error_reason } when it did not (the event stays in the dead-letter queue and can be replayed again); 404 NOT_FOUND when the dead letter is not on your account; 409 DEAD_LETTER_ALREADY_REPLAYED when it was already replayed or a replay of it is in progress, or 409 ACCOUNT_SUSPENDED while the account is suspended or closed, in which case nothing is sent.

Requires `webhooks:m`.

## Path parameters

- `dlid` string, required

## Response `200`

Your endpoint accepted the replay.

- object: Your endpoint accepted the replay.
  - `status` 'replayed', required
  - `http_status` integer, nullable, required

## Other responses

- `401`: Missing, invalid, revoked or expired API key.
- `402`: The account has no balance, or a LIVE key was used before the first top-up.
- `403`: LIVE_KEY_REQUIRED: test keys cannot reach live resources here. Also FORBIDDEN when the key lacks the permission this operation requires, or the account is suspended or closed.
- `404`: NOT_FOUND: no such resource on this account.
- `409`: DEAD_LETTER_ALREADY_REPLAYED: already replayed, or a replay is in progress. Also ACCOUNT_SUSPENDED while the account is suspended or closed. Either way, nothing was sent.
- `429`: Rate limit reached: 100 requests per second per account, or a route-specific limit (Retry-After set where one applies).
- `500`: Unexpected server error.
- `502`: WEBHOOK_REPLAY_FAILED: your endpoint did not accept the replay. The event stays in the dead-letter queue.
