For GitHub this enqueues one backfill github_sync job per repository in the installation (the same enqueue path used at connect time); the worker dedups content at ingest, and a backfill already in flight for a repo is absorbed by the queue’s dedup, so this is safe to call repeatedly. Returns the ids of the jobs that were newly enqueued. A connector that is not active (for example one that has been disconnected) returns 409; a connector that does not exist in this organization returns 404.

Authorization

This route requires the write scope. A missing or invalid credential returns 401 authentication_error. A valid credential without the scope returns 403 permission_denied, and the problem body names the exact scope required.

Headers

These are request conventions the contract does not declare as parameters, so they do not appear in the schema tables below.

Header	Applies	What it does
`X-Exo-API-Key`	Required	Your Exo API key, `exo_<env>_<token>`. `Authorization: Bearer exo_...` is accepted as an alternate.
`X-Exo-Subject`	Not applicable	This route is not subject-scoped.
`Idempotency-Key`	Not honoured	This route does not replay: the job queue absorbs a backfill that is already in flight.
`X-Request-Id`	Response	Returned on every response, including `204`s. Quote it in a support request.

Success responses

Status	Meaning
`200`	Successful Response

Errors

Status	Code	When
`400`	`invalid_request`	Malformed request, for example an invalid cursor.
`401`	`authentication_error`	Missing or invalid credentials.
`403`	`permission_denied`	Missing scope, or an unprovisioned subject selector.
`404`	`not_found`	The resource does not exist, or is not visible to this caller.
`409`	`conflict`	A conflict with the current state of the resource.
`422`	`validation_error`	The request was understood but failed field validation.
`429`	`rate_limit_exceeded`	Rate limit exceeded. Retry after the Retry-After interval.
`503`	`service_degraded`	A dependency is temporarily unavailable. Safe to retry.

Every error is an RFC 9457 application/problem+json body carrying a stable code, a requestId, and a suggestedAction where Exo has one. See Errors.

Notes

Safe to call repeatedly. The queue absorbs a backfill already in flight, and the worker deduplicates content at ingest. The response lists only the jobs that were newly enqueued.
