required

An account authorization token, obtained from b2_authorize_account. The token must have the writeFileLegalHolds capability.

Request HTTP Message Body Parameters

fileName

required

The name of the file.

fileId

required

The ID of the file, as returned by b2_upload_file, b2_list_file_names, or b2_list_file_versions.

legalHold

required

Response

Response HTTP Status 200

Object Lock legal hold configuration successfully updated. The JSON response will contain:

fileId

The unique identifier for this version of this file.

fileName

The name of this file.

legalHold

The updated value of the legal hold status, indicating whether the file has a legal hold in place.

Response Errors

Object Lock legal hold configuration not updated. If possible the server will return a JSON error structure. Errors include:

status

code

description

400

bad_request

The request had the wrong fields or illegal values, or the bucket is not Object Lock-enabled. The message returned with the error will describe the problem.

400

metadata_exceeded

This operation is not allowed because of the current file metadata size. If needed, use b2_copy_file with REPLACE metadataDirective to copy the file using less metadata. Then use b2_delete_file_version to delete the original version.

401

bad_auth_token

The auth token used is not valid. Call b2_authorize_account again to either get a new one, or an error message describing the problem.

401

expired_auth_token

The auth token used has expired. Call b2_authorize_account again to get a new one.

403

access_denied

The auth token used is valid, but does not authorize this call with these parameters. The capabilities of an auth token are determined by the application key used with b2_authorize_account.

403

cap_exceeded

Usage cap exceeded.

405

method_not_allowed

This operation is not allowed because the specified file is a "hide marker."
