POSThttps://api.gaiadesk.net/v1/desks/{id}/wakeScope desks:write

Ring the desk's doorbell and ask its LAN siblings to Wake-on-LAN it.

Rings every doorbell socket the desk holds and asks up to three awake desks of the same account on its network to send it a Wake-on-LAN packet. With wait_s, waits up to that long for the desk to come online and says whether it woke. A desk that is already online is not rung. A desk with nothing to ring answers 409 unreachable (no_wake_path).

Parameters

idstringpathrequired
The desk's nine-digit id.
Idempotency-Keystringheader
Up to 255 printable ASCII characters. A retry with the same key and the same request within 24 hours gets the first answer again (Idempotent-Replayed: true); the same key with a different request is refused (usage, idempotency_key_reused).

Request body

application/json
wait_sinteger
Wait up to this many seconds for the desk to come online (default 0, at most 90, inside Cloudflare's 100-second request limit).
{
  "wait_s": 0
}

errorError & objectrequired

The finer cause: offline, unknown_desk, not_online, network, not_signed_in, timeout, local, …
request_idstringrequired
statusinteger
Only in a held body (GaiaDesk-Held) — the HTTP status this failure would have had, had its 200 not been sent already.
