Install a connector
/v1/projects/{project}/connectors/{key} in the Connectors API.
curl -X POST https://api.subscriby.net/v1/projects/7f3d1c92-8b45-4e6a-9d21-5c8e0a4b6f13/connectors/example \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $SUBSCRIBY_TOKEN" \ -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)"Installing and connecting are two acts. Installing says "this project runs this connector" and opens a pending installation with no credentials (201 with the installation; 200 with the existing one when it was already installed, nothing changed). Connecting, which hands the connector the creator's credentials, stays on the dashboard, where the connector's declared install_fields are rendered and the platform is asked to describe the installation before anything is bound; a REST client cannot prove a credential is its own to bind. An uninstalled connector installed again comes back as pending with its settings kept.
Requires ability
The token must hold this ability, or the call is refused with 403.
Fires one event
Delivered to every endpoint subscribed to it once the change is made.
MCP tool
Runs the same action from an agent, behind the same ability.
Idempotent
Send the header on every call; the same key replays the original response for 24 hours.
Authorization
bearerToken A personal access token minted on the dashboard under Settings, then Tokens, sent as Authorization: Bearer sbt_live_…. The token carries the abilities each endpoint lists under Requires ability and is frozen to one team.
In: header
Path Parameters
The project, resolved by the route binder.
uuidThe connector key from the route.
Header Parameters
A key unique to this operation, such as a fresh UUID. The same key replays the original 2xx response for 24 hours (with Idempotent-Replay: true), so a retry after a timeout never repeats the write; the same key with a different body is refused with 409.
uuidResponses
200OKapplication/json
201 with the installation; 200 when it was already installed.
400Bad requestIDEMPOTENCY_KEY_MISSINGapplication/json
Every write needs an Idempotency-Key header. Send a fresh UUID per distinct operation.
401UnauthorizedAUTHENTICATION_REQUIREDapplication/json
The request carries no bearer token, or one that is revoked, malformed, or minted for another environment (an sbt_test_ token on production).
403ForbiddenTOKEN_MISSING_ABILITYapplication/json
The token is valid but does not carry the ability this endpoint requires; error.context.required_ability names the one to grant. An endpoint that also checks who owns a row or which tier the account is on answers FORBIDDEN, TEAM_TIER_REQUIRED or CONNECTOR_TIER_REQUIRED with the same status, and says so in its own description.
On this endpoint: CONNECTOR_TIER_REQUIRED: for a second distinct connector on the project when the **project owner's** plan lacks the multi_connector capability (Growth). The owner's plan is read, never the token holder's, because Teams lets a member run someone else's project.
404Not foundRESOURCE_NOT_FOUNDapplication/json
An id in the path names nothing the token can see. TENANT_MISMATCH: the project sits outside the token's scope:project: allow-list, or the token carries no team scope. Both answer 404 rather than 403 so that existence outside the token's scope cannot be inferred.
On this endpoint: RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND: with reason: unknown_connector when the key names no connector.
409ConflictIDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSEDapplication/json
The key was already used in the last 24 hours with a different request body.
422Validation failedCONNECTOR_UNAVAILABLEapplication/json
When the key names no connector creators may install today: only a card whose installable is true qualifies; error.context.connector echoes the key.
425Too earlyIDEMPOTENCY_REPLAY_IN_PROGRESSapplication/json
The first request with this key is still running; retry in a few seconds and the original response is replayed.
429Too many requestsRATE_LIMITEDapplication/json
The token has spent its 300 requests a minute or 10,000 an hour; Retry-After says when the next one is accepted.
