# Follows

Generated from contract version `1.0.0` — the same document [`/v1/api/openapi.json`](/api/openapi/) serves.

## Prerequisites

- An API key in `x-api-key`, or a browser session cookie
- `X-Organization-Id` naming the workspace to act in, unless the session already has an active one
- The base URL for your deployment, `https://server.hlix.ai` by default

## Operations

| Method | Path | Operation |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `GET` | `/v1/api/follows` | [List what you follow](#list-what-you-follow) |
| `POST` | `/v1/api/follows` | [Follow a project or a cycle](#follow-a-project-or-a-cycle) |
| `DELETE` | `/v1/api/follows/{targetType}/{targetId}` | [Stop following](#stop-following) |

## List what you follow

`GET /v1/api/follows` · operation ID `listFollows`

**Parameters**

| Name | In | Required | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `X-Organization-Id` | header | no | string | The workspace (organization) to act in. Omitted, the session's active organization is used. |

**Responses**

| Status | Body | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `200` | Follow[] | The caller's follows, newest first. `target` is null when the followed thing has since been deleted or is no longer visible — the row stays so it can still be removed. |
| `400` | ApiError | The request named no active organization. |
| `401` | ApiError | No valid session or API key. |
| `403` | ApiError | Authenticated, but not a member of the named organization — or a client collaborator without the required access on this project. |
| `404` | ApiError | The resource does not exist, or the caller is a task-scoped credential and this endpoint is outside its allowlist. |

## Follow a project or a cycle

`POST /v1/api/follows` · operation ID `createFollow`

**Parameters**

| Name | In | Required | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `X-Organization-Id` | header | no | string | The workspace (organization) to act in. Omitted, the session's active organization is used. |

**Request body** — `application/json`, `FollowTarget` (required)

| Property | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `targetId` | string | **yes** | min length 1 |
| `targetType` | `project` | `cycle` | **yes** |  |

**Responses**

| Status | Body | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `200` | Follow | The follow. Idempotent: following something twice answers with the existing row rather than creating a second one. |
| `400` | ValidationError \| ApiError | The JSON body failed schema validation (`ValidationError`), or the request named no active organization (`ApiError`). |
| `401` | ApiError | No valid session or API key. |
| `403` | ApiError | Authenticated, but not a member of the named organization — or a client collaborator without the required access on this project. |
| `404` | ApiError | No such project or cycle in this workspace — or one a client collaborator was never granted (existence is deliberately not revealed). |
| `409` | ApiError | That cycle is already assigned to the caller — it belongs in My work, not Following. |

## Stop following

`DELETE /v1/api/follows/{targetType}/{targetId}` · operation ID `deleteFollow`

**Parameters**

| Name | In | Required | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `targetType` | path | **yes** | string |  |
| `targetId` | path | **yes** | string |  |
| `X-Organization-Id` | header | no | string | The workspace (organization) to act in. Omitted, the session's active organization is used. |

**Responses**

| Status | Body | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `200` | Unfollowed | The follow was removed. |
| `400` | ApiError | The request named no active organization. |
| `401` | ApiError | No valid session or API key. |
| `403` | ApiError | Authenticated, but not a member of the named organization — or a client collaborator without the required access on this project. |
| `404` | ApiError | The caller was not following that. |

## If a request fails

These apply to every operation on this page.

- `400` — the body failed schema validation, or the request named no active organization. A `ValidationError` body carries the failing fields; an `ApiError` body carries only `error`.
- `401` — no valid session or API key.
- `403` — authenticated, but not a member of the named organization, or a client collaborator without the required access.
- `404` — no such resource **in this workspace**. Absent and not-visible are deliberately the same answer; do not infer cross-tenant existence from it.
- `409` — the expected revision or state is stale, or another operation currently owns the transition.
- `500` — the operation failed server-side. Retry only where an idempotency key makes that safe.
