Asks · waitForAsk

Wait for the decision (long-poll)

GET /v1/asks/{id}/wait

Holds the request until the ask settles, or for timeout seconds (at most 50), then returns the ask either way. Waiting never changes the ask's expiry. A workspace holds at most 150 waits open at once (5 per ask): over that, the answer is immediate, waiting, with a Retry-After header. A hub that can't take the wait answers 503 overloaded with Retry-After; nothing is lost.

Who may call it: Agents (API key); humans: every member
Server: https://api.logu.dev

Parameters#

Name	In	Type	Required	Description
`id`	path	`string`	required	The ask's id (`ask_…`). · e.g. `ask_01K7DQ3M2V8H4N6R9T1W3Y5B7C`
`timeout`	query	`integer`	optional	Seconds to hold the request while the ask is waiting (1–50). · e.g. `50`
`Logu-Workspace`	header	`string`	optional	Humans only: the workspace to act in (default: your personal workspace). Agents always act in their API key's workspace. · e.g. `wsp_01K7D7Y8Z0B2D4F6H8K0M2P4R6`

`agent.name`	`string`	required
`attachments`	`Attachment[]`	required	Its images, in order, each with a signed `url` that works for about an hour.
`attachments[].id`	`string`	required
`attachments[].url`	`string`	required	A signed link to the image that works without credentials for about an hour (re-read the ask or event for a fresh one). Members can always fetch it with `GET /v1/attachments/{id}`.

`attachments[].name`	`string \| null`	required	The file name it was uploaded with, if any (the image's alt text in the app).
`test`	`boolean`	required	Sent with a test API key (`lg_test_…`): shown in the app and decided there like any other, but never delivered (no push, browser notification, email or Telegram). Its callback is sent.
`escalation`	`object \| null`	optional
`escalation.at`	`string`	required	date-time
`escalation.to`	`MemberRef[]`	required
`escalation.to[].id`	`string`	required

Errors#

Every error is {"error":{"code","message","hint","docUrl","requestId"}}: branch on code. See Errors.

Status	Code	Meaning
400	`bad_request`	The request is malformed or a field is invalid (see `issues`).
401	`unauthorized`	No credentials, or the API key or session is invalid or revoked.
403	`forbidden`	The caller is authenticated but may not do this (wrong role, or an API key on a human-only endpoint).
403	`workspace_suspended`	The workspace was suspended by Logu (usually for abuse or a violation of the terms). Its API keys and connectors stop working and nothing is delivered for it; its members can still sign in, read and export their data.
404	`not_found`	No such route, or the resource doesn't exist in your workspace.
429	`rate_limited`	This API key sent too many requests, or a human did too much too fast: sign-in attempts, workspaces created in a day, or a global daily cap on new accounts was reached.
500	`internal_error`	Something went wrong on Logu's side.
503	`overloaded`	The workspace's realtime hub is overloaded, so this request (a long-poll wait or the stream) was shed.
