# Resume an erasure

POST

/v1/memory/erasures/{erasureId}/resume

```sh
curl --request POST \
  --url https://example.com/v1/memory/erasures/2489E9AD-2EE2-8E00-8EC9-32D5F69181C0/resume \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{ "force": true }'
```

Tries an unfinished erasure again now. With `force: true`, an erasure `waiting-on-run` (a turn of the person’s in a flow that serves other people) stops waiting: the run is cancelled and the erasure goes on; without it, it waits until its deadline (`waitingOn.until`). A finished erasure comes back as it is. Requires `admin` on the tenant.

## Authorizations

- **[bearerAuth](https://docs.kindgi.com/v0.1.10/reference/api.md#bearerauth)**

## Parameters

### Path Parameters

**erasureId**

required

string format: uuid

The erasure (a UUID).

### Header Parameters

**Idempotency-Key**

string

\>= 1 characters

Caller-supplied idempotency key, scoped to the caller: the same key from someone else in the tenant is their own request (from 0.1.5). Retries with the same key return the original response byte-identical (per `docs/API-ROUTE-CONVENTIONS.md` §3.1). A retry sent while the first request still runs is answered `409 idempotency-key-in-flight` with `Retry-After`, on a runtime whose store holds keys (from 0.1.5); retry after it, and you get the first request’s answer. An answer that carries a secret (a new API key or public run token, a session token, a generated signing secret) isn’t kept: a retry gets `409 idempotency-key-replay-withheld`, with the first request’s status and when it succeeded (from 0.1.5).

## Request Body

application/json

object

**force**

Stop waiting for a run in a flow that serves other people: it’s cancelled, and the erasure goes on.

boolean

##### Examplegenerated

```json
{
  "force": true
}

## Responses

### 200

The erasure.

application/json

object

**id**

required

string format: uuid

**selectorKind**

required

string

Allowed values: fact participant external conversation

**selector**

One of:

- **object**

  One fact.

  object

  **factId**

  required

  string

  \>= 1 characters <= 256 characters

- **object**

  A person: an app’s end user (`participant`), or an `external` subject facts name. Erasing a Kindgi user isn’t offered.

  object

  **subject**

  required

  object

  **kind**

  required

  string

  Allowed values: participant external

  **id**

  required

  string

  \>= 1 characters <= 256 characters

- **object**

  One conversation.

  object

  **conversationId**

  required

  string

  \>= 1 characters <= 256 characters

**status**

required

`waiting-on-run`: a turn of the person’s sits in a flow that serves other people; the erasure waits for it (`waitingOn`) until its deadline, then cancels it.

string

Allowed values: pending running waiting-on-run completed failed

**phase**

required

Where a running erasure is: `seed`, `expand`, `settle` (the person’s unfinished runs end, or it waits for them, before anything is cleared), `erase`, then `done`.

string

Allowed values: seed expand settle erase done

**requestedBy**

required

`user:<id>` or `service:<id>`.

string

**matchable**

required

A replay after a backup restore can find this person again: a keyed hash was kept.

boolean

**counts**

required

What each store cleared or deleted, by store.

object

**_key_**

additional properties

integer

**attempts**

required

Failed attempts so far.

integer

**lastError**

The last failure’s code, or `not-yet:<reason>` while it waits. Never content.

string

**waitingOn**

The run it waits (or waited) for, and until when; kept as the record of the wait.

object

**runId**

required

string format: uuid

**until**

string format: date-time

**forced**

A tenant admin said not to wait.

boolean

**settleRoundsCapped**

Runs of the person’s kept appearing, round after round: the erasure went on to erase after its last round rather than wait any longer. Absent: it didn’t.

boolean

**createdAt**

required

string format: date-time

**startedAt**

string format: date-time

**completedAt**

string format: date-time

**replayedAt**

string format: date-time
