Close an open episode

operation ID: post_v1_episodes_by_id_close

Overview

Close an open episode. Episodes represent bounded operational events and the genealogy links between related events.

When to use it

  • Use it when an application needs to close an open episode.
  • Use it when an application tracks an incident, batch, excursion, or other event interval and its relationships.

Quick example

Set the base URL and replace generated identifiers or credentials with values from your installation.

cURL

curl --request POST \
  --url "$ORDINATE_URL/v1/episodes/00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000001/close" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $ORDINATE_TOKEN" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
    "end_ns": 0
  }'

Expected output · 200

New closed episode version

Example 200 output

{
  "version": 0
}

The cURL request sends the smallest contract-derived body and asks OrdinateDB to close an open episode. The documented 200 response is new closed episode version.

How it works

Templates define episode shape, episodes carry event state, and genealogy links connect parent, child, or otherwise related records.
