# Trigger prompt

> Trigger scene query with a custom prompt

```http
POST https://api2.rhombussystems.com/api/scenequery/triggerPrompt
```

EU organizations send the same request to `https://api2.eu.rhombussystems.com`.

## Authentication and parameters

- `x-auth-apikey` (header, required): Your Rhombus API key. Must be accompanied by the `x-auth-scheme` header set to `api-token` (or `partner-api-token` for partner endpoints).
- `Authorization` (header): instead of an API key, an OAuth access token (`Bearer <token>`) with the `write` scope.
- `x-auth-scheme` (header, string, default: `api-token`): Authentication scheme identifier. Use `api-token` or `partner-api-token` with the `x-auth-apikey` header, `api` or `partner-api` with `x-auth-apikey` plus a client certificate, `api-oauth-token` or `partner-api-oauth-token` with `x-auth-access-token`, and `federated-token` with `x-auth-ft`. A request with `Authorization: Bearer <token>` and no `x-auth-scheme` is treated as OAuth, and `federated-token` may also be sent as the `x-auth-scheme` and `x-auth-ft` query parameters. One of: `api-token`, `api`, `api-oauth-token`, `federated-token`, `partner-api-token`, `partner-api`, `partner-api-oauth-token`.
- `x-auth-org` (header, string<RUUID>): Client organization UUID (22-character RUUID), for partner credentials only. With it the call runs in that client organization with the partner support authority's role. Without it a partner credential runs as the partner organization, which outside the partner endpoints is deprecated (responses carry `Deprecation` and `Sunset: Tue, 05 Jan 2027 00:00:00 GMT`). A malformed value returns 400 `INVALID_AUTH_ORG`; a client organization the partner cannot access returns 403 `PARTNER_CLIENT_ACCESS_DENIED`.

## Request body

Content type: `application/json`. Request object for triggering a prompt.

- `deviceFacetUuid` (string<DeviceFacetUuid> | null): RUUID with optional appended facet information
- `multiImageTimeDeltasSeconds` (array<integer<int32> | null> | null): Optional list of time deltas in seconds (relative to timestampMs) for multi-image mode. Max 5 entries, each in range [-30, 3600]. When non-empty, the prompt runs against a set of frames: the base image at timestampMs (always included) plus one frame per distinct non-zero delta. Duplicates and 0 are deduped. Omit or send null/empty for single-image mode.
- `prompt` (string | null): Prompt text to trigger
- `promptType` (string) One of: `COUNT`, `PERCENT`, `BOOLEAN`, `TEXT`.
- `region` (object)
- `timestampMs` (integer<int64> | null): Timestamp in milliseconds for the trigger

## Response 200

OK. Content type: `application/json`

- `error` (boolean | null)
- `errorCode` (string | null): Stable, machine-readable code for the failure (one of the ApiErrorCode catalog) when error is true. Branch on this, not on errorMsg.
- `errorMsg` (string | null)
- `event` (object): Scene query report event from the triggered prompt
- `warningMsg` (string | null)

## Errors

Also 400, 401, 403, 429, 500, 503 with the standard error body (`errorCode`, `errorMsg`): https://developer.rhombus.com/errors
