Call an action

Validates `input` against the action's schema, runs it, validates the result against its output schema and returns it. Credentials come from `connections` (pack connection key to `conn_` ID), or else from your project's most recently created connection for that pack and key; when that connection belongs to an end user (it has a `subject`), the call is refused with `422 connection_required` instead, so an unnamed key never uses one end user's credential for another: name end-user connections explicitly. Using a stored connection, named or not, also needs `vault:run`. Only `pure` and `read` actions are retried automatically; send `Idempotency-Key` with `write` actions so a retry of your own does not repeat the effect (packs that declare an idempotency header pass it upstream). `timing` phases: `validate` (input schema), `inject` (connections), `render` (request templates), `upstream` (every HTTP exchange, retries and redirects included), `map` (response mapping and output schema) for declarative HTTP actions; `sidecar` for JavaScript actions. Bills one `actions.call` once the action ran.

POST /v1/actions/call

Authentication

Bearer Token (b3os_sk_ API key or b3os_pat_ token) API Key (cookie: __Host-b3os_session)

Header Parameters

Idempotency-Key string optional header

A unique value (for example a UUID) that makes this request safe to retry. Scoped to your project for 24 hours: a retry with the same key, method, path and body returns the stored response with `Idempotent-Replayed: true`, and only to the same API key. Reusing the key for a different request returns `409 idempotency_key_conflict`.

Request Body required

application/json

ref string REQUIRED

`<namespace>/<name>/<action>@<version>`, the version exact (strict semver without build metadata, as in b3pack's `semver` and the routine callable) or a major.

input object

Validated against the action's input schema.

connections object

Pack connection key to vault connection ID. Omit a key to use your project's most recently created connection for it (refused with `422 connection_required` when that connection belongs to an end user).

timeout_ms integer

Overall time limit; defaults to the action's own.

Responses

200 The action's output.

application/json

object string REQUIRED

Enum: action_result

ref string REQUIRED

The exact version that ran.

output unknown REQUIRED

Matches the action's output schema.

upstream_status integer

timing object REQUIRED

Server-side phase durations in milliseconds with microsecond resolution: the same phases as the `Server-Timing` header, keyed `<phase>_ms`. `total_ms` is always present.
