Project types

`/project-types`

Required scope: project-types:read.

Authorization

bearerAuth
headerAuthorizationBearer <token>

{  "data": [    {      "id": "string",      "name": "string",      "description": "string",      "position": 0,      "createdAt": "2019-08-24T14:15:22Z"    }  ],  "meta": {    "page": 0,    "perPage": 0,    "total": 0,    "totalPages": 0  }}

Create a project type

POST
/project-types

Links are given as the target's public id (clientId: "hsbftmp3f5"); the API resolves them server-side. Fields the database requires but the interface decides for you are filled in the same way here.

Required scope: project-types:write.

Authorization

bearerAuth
headerAuthorizationBearer <token>

Your agency's API key: Authorization: Bearer ak_…. Created in Connectors → API & webhooks and shown once. A key authenticates an agency, not a person.

Header Parameters

Idempotency-Key?string

A value you choose (a UUID is the usual one), 8 to 255 characters of A-Z a-z 0-9 _ . : -. Retrying with the same key returns the first call's answer instead of creating a second record, for seven days. The same key with a different body returns 409.

Length8 <= length <= 255

Request Body

application/json
  1. body
name*string
Length2 <= length <= 120
description?|null
createdAt?string

When this actually happened, for an import. Past dates only; defaults to now. updatedAt follows it unless the body sets one.

Formatdate-time

Response Body

Created. The body is the new record, as a read would return it.

Example Request
curl -X POST 'https://api.usedashly.com/v1/project-types' \  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \  -d '{  "name": "string"}'

Retrieve a project type

GET
/project-types/{id}

The full record, custom fields included when the resource carries them. A record from another agency is a 404, not a 403 - its existence is not ours to confirm.

Required scope: project-types:read.

Authorization

bearerAuth
headerAuthorizationBearer <token>

Your agency's API key: Authorization: Bearer ak_…. Created in Connectors → API & webhooks and shown once. A key authenticates an agency, not a person.

Path Parameters

id*string

The record's public id (hsbftmp3f5), as returned in the id field. An internal UUID returns 404.

Response Body

Found.

Update a project type

PATCH
/project-types/{id}

A partial update: only the fields you send change. One exception - customFields is replaced wholesale, not merged, so sending it with a single key clears the others. Read the record, merge, then write.

Required scope: project-types:write.

Authorization

bearerAuth
headerAuthorizationBearer <token>

Your agency's API key: Authorization: Bearer ak_…. Created in Connectors → API & webhooks and shown once. A key authenticates an agency, not a person.

Path Parameters

id*string

The record's public id (hsbftmp3f5), as returned in the id field. An internal UUID returns 404.

Request Body

application/json
  1. body
description?|null

Response Body

Updated. The body is the record as it now stands.

Delete a project type

DELETE
/project-types/{id}

Permanent. The audit log keeps the trace; the record does not come back.

Required scope: project-types:write.

bearerAuth
headerAuthorizationBearer <token>

Your agency's API key: Authorization: Bearer ak_…. Created in Connectors → API & webhooks and shown once. A key authenticates an agency, not a person.

Response Body

Deleted. Empty body.

Example Request
curl -X DELETE 'https://api.usedashly.com/v1/project-types/string'
Example Response

List available actions

GET
/project-types/actions

Every verb this resource answers to, with its target and the JSON Schema of its body - the same contracts this document describes, readable at runtime.

Required scope: project-types:read.

Authorization

bearerAuth
headerAuthorizationBearer <token>

Your agency's API key: Authorization: Bearer ak_…. Created in Connectors → API & webhooks and shown once. A key authenticates an agency, not a person.

Response Body

The available verbs.

POST
/project-types/{id}/actions/add-step

Appends a step to this project type's template: form (with fields), confirm (with noteEnabled), upload (with accept) or acknowledge (with content). Returns the step's id - see /v1/onboarding-template-steps.

Does what the dashboard's addTemplateStepAction does - same implementation, so the two cannot diverge.

Required scope: project-types:write.

Authorization

bearerAuth
headerAuthorizationBearer <token>

Your agency's API key: Authorization: Bearer ak_…. Created in Connectors → API & webhooks and shown once. A key authenticates an agency, not a person.

Path Parameters

id*string

The public id of the record to act on. It is resolved inside your agency before the action runs, so an id from another tenant is a 404 and never reaches it.

Header Parameters

Idempotency-Key?string

A value you choose (a UUID is the usual one), 8 to 255 characters of A-Z a-z 0-9 _ . : -. Retrying with the same key returns the first call's answer instead of creating a second record, for seven days. The same key with a different body returns 409.

The action's result; its shape depends on the verb.

curl -X POST 'https://api.usedashly.com/v1/project-types/string/actions/add-step' \  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \  -d '{  "kind": "form",  "title": "string"}'
Example Response
{  "data": null}
POST
/project-types/actions/seed-default

Creates the "Site web" project type and its default onboarding steps. Idempotent: if a type with that name already exists, nothing changes.

Does what the dashboard's seedDefaultProjectTypeAction does - same implementation, so the two cannot diverge. Takes no body.

Required scope: project-types:write.
