Input

Field Type Required Description
account string (1–100 chars) Yes The X account to use: its X-Buddy account_id (from account_list) or its @handle. Ambiguous names return candidates instead of guessing.
name string (1–50 chars) No
bio string (0–160 chars) No
location string (0–30 chars) No
url string (uri, 0–100 chars) No
avatar_media_id string (0–500 chars) No
banner_media_id string (0–500 chars) No

Result

Creates a job for the X account's VPS. REST waits up to wait seconds (default 15, max 20): when done it returns 200 with the result, otherwise 202 with Location: /api/public/v1/jobs/{job_id}. The final status is succeeded, failed, cancelled or unknown.

Needs an idempotency key (Idempotency-Key, 8–128 characters). Retrying with the same key never repeats the action.

A job that ends unknown may already have happened on X: never resend it with a new idempotency key.
