Syncs

Pause a sync

Turns the sync off. Safe to call when it is already off, except while its initial sync runs.

post/v1/sync/syncs/{id}/pause

Request

  • Base URL: https://api.whalesync.com
  • URL: https://api.whalesync.com/v1/sync/syncs/{id}/pause
  • Auth: HTTP bearer

Path parameters

idstring required
Example:sync_1d0b06b0-6f5e-4a3e-9d15-3a7b0e2f9a41

Response

The sync, now paused.

idstring required
namestring required
status'draft' | 'active' | 'paused' required
mappings_revisionstring required

Opaque revision of the mappings document; changes on every mappings edit. Doubles as the mappings ETag — compare it across polls to detect edits made in the app during a handoff.

open_issuesnumber required

Unresolved issues across both sides. Read the detail from GET /v1/sync/issues?sync=….

delete_approval'review_required' | 'auto_approve' required

review_required means a record that goes missing on one side waits for a person to approve the delete before it is applied to the other side; auto_approve means deletes are applied as soon as they are detected, and there is no queue to read.

pending_deletesnumber required

Deletes waiting on a person right now. Always 0 under auto_approve, where nothing waits. Read the detail from GET /v1/sync/pending-deletes?sync=….

initial_sync_runningboolean required

Whether the initial sync is running: the first match and copy of records between the two apps, started when a person activates the sync. status is paused until it finishes and the sync turns on.

initial_sync_preparingboolean required

Whether the initial sync is being prepared: Whalesync is downloading records and planning the match. When that finishes it waits for a person to review and start it. Activating the sync meanwhile fails with initial_sync_preparing.

last_synced_atstring date-time nullable required

When the sync last polled, or null if never.

created_atstring date-time required
review_urlstring uri required

The sync's page in the app, where a human reviews the mappings and starts it.

app_urlstring uri required

The sync in the Whalesync app, for a person browsing — unlike review_url, nothing here needs their attention (a first-time draft is started from review_url).

urlstring uri required

Canonical URL of this sync in the API.

status_urlstring uri required

This sync's live status snapshot.

mappings_urlstring uri required

This sync's mappings document.

operations_urlstring uri required

This sync's operations, pre-filtered.

issues_urlstring uri required

This sync's issues, pre-filtered.

pending_deletes_urlstring uri required

This sync's delete queue, pre-filtered.
