Deployments API (Beta)

Overview

The /beta/deployments API turns an agent into a scheduled service. A deployment binds an agent to a cron expression and tracks every execution in a separate run history. The scheduler recomputes next_run_at whenever the deployment is created, updated, or triggered. Deployments are scoped to the authenticated user.

All requests require a Bearer token. See Authentication.

Response

{
  "deployment": { ... }
}

curl -X PATCH https://api.allternit.com/v1/beta/deployments/dep_7a8b9c0d \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ALLTERNIT_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

next_run_at is recomputed on every update, even if only status changes.

Delete a deployment

Deleting a deployment cascades to its run history.

curl -X DELETE https://api.allternit.com/v1/beta/deployments/dep_7a8b9c0d \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ALLTERNIT_API_KEY"

Returns 204 No Content.

List runs

curl https://api.allternit.com/v1/beta/deployments/dep_7a8b9c0d/runs \

Response

{
  "runs": [
    {
      "id": "run_3d4e5f6a",
      "deployment_id": "dep_7a8b9c0d",
      "status": "succeeded",

      "finished_at": "2026-08-13T09:00:05Z"
    }
  ]
}

Trigger a run

Manually enqueue a run and advance the deployment’s schedule. This is useful for testing or for forcing an out-of-cycle execution.

curl -X POST https://api.allternit.com/v1/beta/deployments/dep_7a8b9c0d/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ALLTERNIT_API_KEY"

Response

{
  "run": {
    "id": "run_3d4e5f6a",
    "deployment_id": "dep_7a8b9c0d",
    "status": "running",
    "result": null,
    "error": null,
    "started_at": "2026-08-13T10:00:00Z",
    "finished_at": null
  },
  "id": "run_3d4e5f6a"
}

Triggering a run also updates last_run_at and recomputes next_run_at on the deployment.

Update a run

Report the terminal outcome of a run. Only succeeded, failed, and cancelled are accepted.

curl -X PATCH https://api.allternit.com/v1/beta/deployments/dep_7a8b9c0d/runs/run_3d4e5f6a \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ALLTERNIT_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "status": "succeeded",
    "result": { "reports_generated": 3 }
  }'

Request body

Field	Type	Description
`status`	string	`succeeded`, `failed`, or `cancelled`.
`result`	object?	Arbitrary result JSON.
`error`	string?	Error or cancellation reason.

Response

{
  "run": {
    "id": "run_3d4e5f6a",
    "deployment_id": "dep_7a8b9c0d",
    "status": "succeeded",
    "result": { "reports_generated": 3 },
    "error": null,
    "started_at": "2026-08-13T10:00:00Z",
    "finished_at": "2026-08-13T09:00:05Z"
  }
}

A successful run update may also trigger a webhook delivery for deployment.run.updated.
