API Reference

Restore checkpoint

This API is in beta. Endpoints, fields, and behavior may still change, so avoid depending on it in production.

Returns the app to a saved checkpoint and answers with the restored app.

Restoring rolls the app’s code back to the checkpoint’s commit, redeploys its backend functions from that code, restores the entity schemas the checkpoint saved, and rewinds the app’s chat history to the point the checkpoint was taken.

A 200 does not confirm that every backend function redeployed. A function whose deployment fails is recorded and skipped rather than failing the restore, so an app that depends on its functions is worth checking afterwards.

The chat messages after the checkpoint are dropped from the conversation and do not come back. The code does come back: a restore deletes no checkpoints, so every version stays in List checkpoints and restoring a later one returns the code you rolled back from.

The work happens while you wait, and there is a lot of it: a code rollback, a redeploy per backend function, and a schema sync. Allow for that in your client’s timeout. The app’s status is processing for the duration and ready once the restore finishes, so if your request times out, poll Get app instead of sending this again.

Restoring the checkpoint the app is already on is not a no-op. There is no shortcut for that case: the rollback, the redeploy and the sync all run again.

This endpoint accepts a personal API key. Workspace API keys are not authorized for it and are rejected with a 403.

Authorizations

api_key

string

header

required

Personal API key.

Path Parameters

checkpoint_id

string

required

ID of the checkpoint, as returned in id by List checkpoints.

app_id

string

required

ID of the app.

Response

The app, as restored to the checkpoint.

string | null

Example:

"my-crm-3c45a1f2"

user_description

string | null

Description of the app, or null if none was set. On a newly created app this holds the original prompt text.
