call03 9948 4089Updating a program uses PATCH semantics: only the fields you send change and everything else is left as it is. Pass null to clear an optional field. Pausing a program stops its monitors running while its entities and checks stay accessible; setting it back to active resumes them.
For the technical detail, go to the API documentation. It holds the request and response schema, the integration guides and the error codes for this endpoint.
New accounts begin with sandbox access.
Retention policies change, notification lists change, and sometimes a program needs to stop while something is investigated. A PATCH changes only what you name and returns the program as it now stands.
Fields you omit are untouched. A field sent as null is cleared. The response carries the full program after the change.
A status of paused stops the program's monitors running while everything in it remains readable. A status of active resumes them.
Changing event grouping to separate requires a maximum separate events value in the same request. Changing it to grouped clears any stored maximum, and one sent with it is ignored.
A program is created active, can be paused and resumed with this endpoint, and is soft-deleted rather than destroyed.
Set status back to active to resume a paused program. Deletion is handled by Delete a program.
Charges arise when screening runs against the entities in a program: each check type launched against an entity is charged at launch, and a monitor run is charged for each entity eligible for its operation. Rates are set for your account and communicated by your Global Data account manager, and statements with a per-call breakdown are in the WatchEye portal.
Show a program reads the result. Create a program starts one. Delete a program retires one. Update a monitor pauses a single monitor rather than the whole program.
Sandbox accounts are provisioned by your Global Data account manager. API keys are created and managed in the WatchEye portal, and the same endpoints serve sandbox and live; the account behind the key decides which environment you are in.
