Check the credential actually works, against the real CMS.

All hosting endpoints

Authentication

Send an API key as a bearer token. This endpoint does not state a specific permission in the specification, so give your key the least it needs and check the response rather than assuming.

This endpoint takes no organisation id. Your key already identifies the organisation it belongs to, and the response is scoped to it.

Try it

Replace anything in angle brackets with your own values, and the key placeholder with a key from your dashboard.

curl -X POST https://api.zinndigital.com/v1/sites/{siteId}/cms-target/test \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer zdk_live_…"

Signed in? The API console in your dashboard fills in your real organisation id and your own key, and runs the request against the live API so you can see the actual response. Open this endpoint in the API console

Details

Contacts the site's CMS with the stored credential and records what happened. Gated on `links.edit`. ⭐ **This is what promotes a target from "configured" to "ready".** A preset we shipped from a vendor's documentation is a claim; a probe against the customer's own instance is a measurement, and nothing in the picker reads green until this has answered. ⛔ A failure here is a 200 carrying `reachable: false` and a reason, not an error status. "We could not reach it" is the answer to the question that was asked.
