Test proxy pool

POST /api/v1/proxy-pools/{pool}/check

Perform a network check of every address in a pool.

The interface tests groups in small background batches. The synchronous external /proxy-pools/{id}/check method accepts at most five addresses. Larger groups return 422 with code use_background_check; open the group in the interface and start its background test.

Access

A Bearer API key for this workspace with write permission is required. The server also checks the owner’s permission for this resource and action. An inaccessible object is not disclosed.

Parameters

Path parameters: pool. Use IDs from your own installation.

No request body is required.

An empty pool returns 422 empty. Checking all addresses may take time.

Response 200

The example is shortened; actual responses may include more fields. Sample IDs are placeholders.
