Stores an installation’s configuration values — the settings the app declares in its manifest, including its secrets. Only the names in the body are written; anything left out keeps its current value.

How it works

A secret’s value is write-only and never returned by any operation. Completing the last required variable makes the install active, which redeploys the site in the background; a call that changes nothing does neither. An OAuth token’s user also needs an app role of admin or higher on the site.

Required permissions

  • domain:manage_domain_apps:write on all domains, or on the addressed domain when its id is in the route
teamId
required

Unique id (UUID) of the team that owns the addressed resources, as shown in the team settings on the Blotout platform.

string format: uuid

Example

7b8d1a52-6c1e-4b6f-9a30-2f8a54d1c3e9

Unique id (UUID) of the team that owns the addressed resources, as shown in the team settings on the Blotout platform.

domainId
required

Unique id (UUID) of the site, as returned by the site operations.

string format: uuid

Example

3f2a9c81-5d47-4e0b-8c66-91b2a7f04d15

Unique id (UUID) of the site, as returned by the site operations.

appSlug
required

Immutable slug of the app, as shown by the list operation.

string
/^[a-z][a-z0-9-]{2,29}$/

Example

facebook-capi

Immutable slug of the app, as shown by the list operation.

installId
required

Unique id (UUID) of the installation, as returned by the installs operation.

string format: uuid

Example

8d7c6b5a-4938-4271-a605-9e8f7a6b5c4d

Unique id (UUID) of the installation, as returned by the installs operation.

The values to store, keyed by variable name.

Media typeapplication/json

The install’s configuration values. A secret variable’s value is write-only and never read back.

object
values
required

The values to store, keyed by the variable name the app declares. A boolean variable takes true/false; a select takes an option value, or an empty string for none; a multiselect takes a list of option values, or an empty list for none.

object
key
additional properties
Any of:

The value of a text, password or select variable.

string

Example

1234567890

Example

{
"PIXEL_ID": "1234567890"
}

The values were stored.

Media typeapplication/json
object
updated
required

Whether the switch actually changed.

boolean

Example

{
"updated": true
}

invalid_params — A path parameter failed validation (for example a malformed UUID); details pinpoints the offending parameter. invalid_body — The JSON body is unparseable or failed schema validation; details pinpoints the offending fields when the body could be parsed.

Media typeapplication/json
object
error
required

Machine-readable error slug; switch on this value rather than on the HTTP status alone.

string
Allowed values: invalid_params invalid_body
details

Field-level validation errors: a tree keyed by input property, each node carrying an errors array of human-readable messages. Render it to help the caller correct the request.

"error": "invalid_params",

"errors": [],

"teamId": {

}

unauthenticated — The Authorization: Bearer token is missing, malformed, or no longer valid. Generate a team API token or obtain a new OAuth access token.

Media typeapplication/json
object
error
required

Machine-readable error slug; switch on this value rather than on the HTTP status alone.

string
Allowed values: unauthenticated

Example

{
"error": "unauthenticated"
}

forbidden — The bearer credential lacks the required permission or belongs to another team, or its user lacks the organization role a developer operation needs. Update its policies, use a credential bound to the addressed team, or ask an organization owner for the role; message states the reason when one is known.

Media typeapplication/json
object
error
required

Machine-readable error slug; switch on this value rather than on the HTTP status alone.

string
Allowed values: forbidden
message

Human-readable reason for this specific failure, intended for display — do not parse it programmatically.

string

Example

{
"error": "forbidden",
"message": "The Cloudflare API token is invalid or expired."
}

not_found — The addressed resource does not exist within this team; check the id and retry.

Media typeapplication/json
object
error
required

Machine-readable error slug; switch on this value rather than on the HTTP status alone.

string
Allowed values: not_found

Example

{
"error": "not_found"
}

variable_invalid — The app declares no variable by that name, or another party sets the name (the site manager, the app developer, or the app’s own panel); message names it. variable_too_large — A value exceeds its serialized limit: 256 KB for a large variable, 5 KB for another variable of a single-install app, 490 bytes for one of an app that allows multiple installs or for an app-scope variable; message names the variable, its size and the limit. variable_budget — One variable’s values across every install of the app on this site exceed 5 KB together, or all large values of the app’s worker exceed 1 MB, removed installs included until they are purged; message states the size. Shorten a value before retrying; a removed install frees its share once it is purged.

string

Example

{
"error": "variable_invalid",
"message": "The Cloudflare API token is invalid or expired."
}

internal — Unexpected server error. Nothing is guaranteed to have been persisted; idempotent operations are safe to retry.
