Endpoints, fields, and behavior may still change, so avoid depending on it in production. Asks the owners and admins of the app's workspace to publish the app for you, with the visibility you want. Use it when your workspace's publishing policy doesn't let you [deploy the app](/api-reference/deploy-an-app) yourself. Every active owner, and every admin allowed to publish, except you, gets an in-app notification and an email naming the app, the visibility you asked for, and your `message`. Base44 also records the request as pending until the app is published. The call doesn't publish anything or check whether you could have published the app yourself. Repeating the request within 60 seconds notifies no one and returns `deduped` set to `true`. After that, the same request notifies the approvers again. This is limited to 5 requests per minute per app for each workspace's personal API keys, so every key in a workspace shares one allowance. Some workspaces have a different limit. This endpoint accepts a personal API key belonging to a user with editor access to the app. A read-only key is refused, and workspace API keys are not accepted. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /developers/references/app-management/app-management-openapi.json post /api/apps/{app_id}/request-deploy openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Base44 App Management API version: 1.0.0 servers: - url: https://app.base44.com security: - PersonalAccessTokenAuth: [] paths: /api/apps/{app_id}/request-deploy: post: summary: Request deploy approval description: >- This API is in beta.
