Create a project transfer request

API Reference / Projects / Create a project transfer request

Creates a transfer request for the specified project. The request expires after a set period. To accept the request, the recipient calls PUT /projects/{project_id}/transfer_requests/{request_id} or uses the Neon Console claim link. The optional ru parameter redirects the recipient after acceptance.

• project_id (string, path, required) The Neon project ID

• ttl_seconds (integer, optional, format: int64) Number of seconds the transfer request stays valid before it expires. Defaults to 86400 (24 hours).

  Default: 86400

default General Error.

The request may or may not be safe to retry, depending on the HTTP method, response status code, and whether a response was received.

• If no response is returned from the API, a network error or timeout likely occurred.
• In some cases, the request may have reached the server and been successfully processed, but the response failed to reach the client. As a result, retrying non-idempotent requests can lead to unintended results.

The following HTTP methods are considered non-idempotent: POST, PATCH, DELETE, and PUT. Retrying these methods is generally not safe. The following methods are considered idempotent: GET, HEAD, and OPTIONS. Retrying these methods is safe in the event of a network error or timeout.

Any request that returns a 503 Service Unavailable response is always safe to retry.

Any request that returns a 423 Locked response is safe to retry. 423 Locked indicates that the resource is temporarily locked, for example, due to another operation in progress.

• request_id (string, optional) Unique identifier for the request, useful for debugging. You can set this value manually by including an X-Request-ID header in the request. If not provided, the value will be generated automatically.

• code (string, required) Machine-readable code classifying the error type. See message for a human-readable explanation. Default: ``

• message (string, required) Error message
