Update site address

POST/api/v1/update_site_address

Features

Change the ADDRESS of the site: the in .docsbook.io — its path name / subdomain. NOT the display name (update_branding custom_name), NOT a domain of their own (update_domain). Works for EVERY project, including one whose pages come from the user's own GitHub repository — the address is a Docsbook setting and no repository is renamed. Pass an empty name to clear it and fall back to the default address. Report site_url from the result verbatim.

Price — $0.00001 per call (twice what serving it costs us), charged to the workspace balance, the same as over MCP.

Also reachable by name at POST /api/v1/tools/update_site_address.

Input1

Authorizationheaderrequired

Your API key, sent as Authorization: Bearer dbk_YOUR_API_KEY.Sent from your browser straight to the API — never to Docsbook, never stored.

namestring · body

The new name, as a person would write it — 'Acme API'. It becomes acme-api.docsbook.io.

Output3

okboolean

Whether the tool itself succeeded. A tool that ran and refused — an exhausted balance, a plan restriction, a bad argument — answers 200 with ok: false: the call was made and billed, and that refusal is its answer.

resultstring

The tool's own JSON answer, already parsed — not a string to parse a second time.

duration_msinteger

Server-side wall time for the call.

Use cases

Call it when the user asks to change the site's URL or path («поменяй адрес сайта», «поменяй path name»), and when a project is still on the opaque ws-- address it was reserved with before it had a name.

Limitations

The name is slugged the way the create form slugs it ('Acme API' → acme-api); a taken or reserved name is REFUSED, never silently suffixed into a different URL.
🔴 THIS MOVES A LIVE URL — the old address stops serving the site, so only call it when the user asked for it.

Responses

200The tool ran. Read ok to see whether it succeeded.
