Receive daemon heartbeat (DEPRECATED - for backwards compatibility with pre-v0.14.0 daemons)

Internal endpoint for legacy daemons to send periodic heartbeats. New daemons (v0.14.0+) use the /request-work endpoint which includes heartbeat functionality. This endpoint is kept for backwards compatibility and will be removed in a future version.

post/api/daemons/{id}/heartbeat

Path parameters

idstring uuid required

Daemon ID

Request body

mode'server_poll' | 'daemon_poll' required

Daemon operating mode that determines the communication pattern.

  • DaemonPoll (formerly "Pull"): Daemon makes outbound connections to the server. The daemon registers itself and polls for work. Best for daemons behind NAT/firewall.

  • ServerPoll (formerly "Push"): Server makes connections to the daemon. Server polls daemon for status and discovery results. Best for DMZ deployments where daemon cannot make outbound connections.

namestring required

Name the daemon reports for itself.

urlstring required

URL the daemon is reachable at, as it sees itself.

Response

Heartbeat received

dataTupleUnit

No payload. Present only so the envelope keeps its shape.

errorstring nullable

Human-readable failure message. Omitted on success.

successboolean required

true when the request succeeded. false responses carry error instead of data.

Example response

{
  "meta": {
    "api_version": 1,
    "server_version": "0.17.13"
  }
}
