Start Application
Start a stopped application with POST /v2/apps//start. Returns 409 when it is already running, and it never deploys new code.
POST
Start Application
string
required
The API key for your account. You can find this in your account settings.
apps:control scope.
Starts a stopped application on its assigned cluster. If the application is already running, the request answers 409 CONTAINER_ALREADY_STARTED instead of doing nothing, so check Get Application Status first or treat that code as success in scripts.
Starting only brings the existing files and configuration online, it does not deploy new code; use Upload Application for a first deployment or Commit Application to push a change first. On workspace-shared applications, the caller needs the manager, maintain or admin role.
The request is rate limited to 1 start per 3 seconds per application, and to 20 lifecycle actions per 15 seconds per user across all applications, with a short block once that cap is hit.
Parameters
string
required
The ID of the application. You can find this in the URL of your application’s dashboard.
Response
string
Indicates whether the call was successful:
success if it was, error if not.Common errors
