`data[].project_id` required	string	ID of the project this check-in belongs to.
`data[].name` required	string \| null	Display name.
`data[].slug` required	string \| null	URL-safe identifier.
`data[].schedule_type` required	string	`simple` expects a report every `report_period`. `cron` expects reports on a cron schedule and requires `cron_schedule`. Allowed values: `simple`, `cron`. Default: `"simple"`.
`data[].state` required	string	Current check-in state. Allowed values: `pending`, `reporting`, `missing`, `paused`.
`data[].reported_at` required	date-time \| null	When the last report was received.
`data[].expected_at` required	date-time \| null	When the next report is expected.
`data[].missed_count` required	integer	Number of consecutive missed reports.
`data[].grace_period` required	string	How long after the expected time before the check-in is missing. A duration such as `5 minutes`, `1 hour 30 minutes` or `01:30:00`. Returned in long form: `1 week` comes back as `7 days`, and zero as `00:00:00`.
`data[].report_url` required	string	URL to ping when the task completes.

401 Unauthorized

The credential is missing, invalid, expired or revoked (unauthorized), or was sent in a way v3 doesn’t accept (see the examples).

Example payload: unauthorized (Missing, malformed, expired or revoked credential)

{
  "error": {
    "code": "unauthorized",
    "message": "Access denied"
  },

  }

    "message": "Send the credential as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`; v3 does not accept HTTP basic"
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "abc123"
  }
}

Example payload: credential_in_query (Sent as the `auth_token` query parameter)

403 Forbidden

The credential isn’t allowed to do this. error.code says why. An account or project the credential doesn’t cover is 404 not_found, not 403.

Example payload: access_denied (The credential isn't allowed to do this to this record)

{
  "error": {
    "code": "access_denied",
    "message": "Access denied"
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "abc123"

Example payload: insufficient_scope (The credential lacks the permission this endpoint requires)

{
  "error": {

      "token_scopes": [

        "insights:read"
      ]
    }
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "abc123"
  }
}

Example payload: requires_user_token (The endpoint records who acted, and an account token has nobody)

{
  "error": {
    "code": "requires_user_token",
    "message": "This endpoint records the person who acted, so it requires a user credential rather than an account token"
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "abc123"
  }
}

Example payload: project_restricted (A project-restricted credential cannot create a project)

{
  "error": {
    "code": "project_restricted",
    "message": "Project-restricted tokens cannot create projects"
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "abc123"

422 Unprocessable Content

No path names the account, so the API token has to. This is returned when the token covers more than one account and the account a request applies to cannot be determined. Use a token bound to a single account.

Example payload

{
  "error": {
    "code": "ambiguous_account",
    "message": "This credential covers more than one account, so the account a request applies to is ambiguous. Use a token bound to a single account."
  },
