Transfer app ownership within the same workspace

POST
/v1/apps/{appName}/transfers
curl --request POST \
--url https://api.aetherpush.com/v1/apps/example/transfers \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{ "email": "new-owner@example.com" }'

Moves ownership of the app to another registered account in the same workspace. The transfer completes immediately. The target account must already exist in Aether. Only the current app.transfer permission (Owner) is required to initiate a transfer. For a destination account in a different workspace, use POST /v1/app-transfers instead.

appName
required
string
Media typeapplication/json
object
email
required

Email of the account to transfer ownership to.

string format: email

Example

{
"email": "new-owner@example.com"
}

Ownership transferred successfully.

Email missing or invalid, or the target account is outside this app’s workspace (use POST /v1/app-transfers for that case).

Error

Standard error envelope. code is the stable machine identifier for client branching and i18n. The wording of error is a human-readable fallback and is not part of the contract. Specialized responses keep narrower code enums where clients already branch on them.

Human-readable error message.

string
code
required

Stable machine code. Prefer this over matching on error. The values this API can answer with are listed in the ApiErrorCode schema of the raw document at https://api.aetherpush.com/openapi.yaml. The field stays an open string here so that a release adding a value does not invalidate this response.

string
requestId

Unique identifier for the request, also exposed as the X-Request-Id response header.

string

Example

{
"error": "The requested resource was not found.",
"code": "not_found",
"requestId": "req_abc123"
}

Unauthenticated.

The API key’s scopes do not grant apps, which answers required_scopes; or the caller’s role on the app does not grant app.transfer, which answers a plain error. Access keys and login sessions hold wildcard scope, so they never receive the scope refusal. Other refusals raised before the route, such as a request that did not arrive through the trusted edge, also answer a plain error.

The tenant’s per-minute management API budget is spent. Retry-After and X-RateLimit-* say when to retry. This is not a plan quota: quota 429s use the Error envelope and do not set Retry-After.

Media typeapplication/json
RateLimitError

Returned with HTTP 429 when an endpoint-specific rate limit is hit, including the per-tenant management API budget. Not the process-wide address limiter (see GlobalAddressRateLimitErrorResponse). retryAfterSeconds indicates how long the client should wait before retrying, and matches the Retry-After header when that header is set. code names the limit that fired so clients can translate without matching on error.
