POST/v1/files/{file_id}/extend
Extend the retention period of a file
extend_file
Extends the retention period of the file by days days, counting from the current expiry date or from today if that date has passed. Available to the file's owner and to admins. A file that has already been deleted from storage cannot be extended, but it can be regenerated.
Authentication
Send an API key in the Authorization header: Authorization: Bearer <key>.
Path parameters

Header parameters
Idempotency-KeystringKey for a safe retry of a write: 1 to 255 printable ASCII characters; a UUID v4 per logical operation is recommended. A retry with the same key within 24 hours does not run the operation again: it returns the saved response (status, headers and body) with the
Idempotency-Replayed: trueheader. The same key with a different method, path,Content-Typeor body returns409 api.idempotency_mismatch; while the first request is still running,409 api.idempotency_in_progresswithRetry-After: 1. After a 5xx or 429 response the key is released, and a retry runs the operation again. The key is scoped to the organization and the caller (API key, user, or custom source key).length ≥ 1, length ≤ 255
X-View-AsstringFor API keys with the
adminrole only. Makes the request as the data profile<profile>[:viewer|verifier|editor], for exampleemployee:viewer. The installation key cannot use this header (403).
Cookie parameters
kb_view_asstringCookie of the “View as” mode for a session.
POST /auth/view-assets it andDELETE /auth/view-asclears it.

429Too many requests (`api.rate_limited`), the organization's quota for the minute, day or month is used up (`api.quota_exceeded`; `error.details` holds `quota`, `limit` and `reset_at`), the organization's limit is reached, or the answer service is busy (`answers.engine_busy`). Wait for the time in the `Retry-After` header.

Error codes
Codes this endpoint can return in error.code, besides the general codes of every request.
Safe retries
Send an Idempotency-Key header (for example a UUID) with each POST and PATCH. A retry with the same key within 24 hours returns the saved response instead of running the request again.
Rate limits
Responses carry the RateLimit and RateLimit-Policy headers and the earlier X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset. A 429 response has Retry-After in seconds: wait and retry.
