Manage Actors

Sleep Actor

Put an actor to sleep. The actor runs its shutdown sequence and persists its state, then wakes on the next request.

The request body is ignored. A namespace token needs a grant on actor with update.

POST https://rivet.example.com/actors/{actor_id}/sleep

Examples

Authentication

Send the admin token, or a namespace token from Create Token whose grants cover the request, as a bearer token in the Authorization header. The x-rivet-token header is also accepted. Routes with a namespace query parameter use the default namespace when it is omitted. See Authentication.

Path Parameters

Query Parameters

namespacestringNoName of the namespace to operate in. Defaults to default.
