# Re-check site ads.txt

`POST https://YOUR-NETWORK-DOMAIN/rest-api/sites/{siteId}/ads-txt/check.do`

Queues a fetch of the publisher's live ads.txt (app-ads.txt for an app) and a comparison against the lines it needs; read the result with GET /rest-api/sites/{siteId}/ads-txt, whose check.checkedAt reaches the returned requestedAt (server time, whole seconds) once it has run. Returns {"queued":false} when the site was checked or queued within the last minute, or the queue is full. Requires ENABLED level on the SITE_SUPPLY_CHAIN permission and VIEW permission on the site; a masked share is refused.

## Path params

| Name | Type | Required | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `siteId` | integer | yes | `5001` | Unique numeric ID of the site |

## Responses

- `200` — Request accepted; queued says whether a check was added
- `400` — Bad request — invalid or missing parameters
- `401` — Authentication error
- `403` — No SITE_SUPPLY_CHAIN permission, or the site is outside the caller's shares or masked
