--- title: "Activate a Flow" method: PUT path: "/flows/{flow_id}/activate" tags: ["Flows"] --- # Activate a Flow `PUT /flows/{flow_id}/activate` ## Request - Base URL: `https://dataops.nexla.io/nexla-api` - URL: `https://dataops.nexla.io/nexla-api/flows/{flow_id}/activate` - Auth: HTTP bearer - TypeScript: (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema) To activate the entire flow, use either the `origin_node_id` from any data source, set or sink in the flow, or include the ?all=1 or ?full_tree=1 query parameter. >**Note**: > 1. All endpoints for activating or pausing a flow operate on the specific resource given and all of the flow nodes downstream from that resource. This allows for pausing and activating sub-flows while leaving the rest of the flow state unchanged. > > 2. You can also activate a flow by using the id of the `data_source`/ `data_set` / `data_sink` that the flow node is linked to. See relevant endpoints in the API references for those resources. ## Path parameters - `flow_id` integer, required - `all` 1, required ## Headers - `Accept` 'application/vnd.nexla.api.v1+json' | 'application/json': Setting to `application/vnd.nexla.api.v1+json` is recommended. ## Response `200` Success - object - `flows` FlowOriginNode[] - `id` integer - `parent_node_id` integer: Flow id of the parent flow node if this node is not the root node in the flow chain.
