# Replay erasures after a backup restore

POST

/v1/memory/erasures/replay

```sh
curl --request POST \
  --url https://example.com/v1/memory/erasures/replay \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{ "erasures": [ { "id": "2489E9AD-2EE2-8E00-8EC9-32D5F69181C0", "selectorKind": "fact", "selectorHmac": "example", "keyId": "example", "requestedBy": "example", "status": "pending", "createdAt": "2026-04-15T12:00:00Z", "completedAt": "2026-04-15T12:00:00Z" } ] }'
```

Takes the ledger `GET /v1/memory/erasures/export` gave, puts back the rows the restore lost, and finds each erasure’s person (or fact, or conversation) again by its keyed hash: those run again (`replayed`); ones nothing in the tenant matches are only restored (`restored`); ones with no keyed hash, or a key this deployment doesn’t hold, are `unmatched`. Requires `admin` on the tenant.

## Parameters

### 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).
