# /api/v1/services/[id]/bind (management)

Source-derived management endpoint contract, authentication, request validation, responses, and errors.

Source: https://docs.minds.sh/docs/api/platform/reference/management--api-v1-services-id-bind



This is the **management** service route. Its origin and authentication are described in [Platform API overview](/docs/api/platform) and [Authentication](/docs/api/platform/authentication). A path shared by another service is a different endpoint.

| Property                       | Contract                                                                       |
| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Methods                        | POST                                                                           |

| Path parameters                | `id`                                                                           |
| Query parameters read in route | None read directly; schema validation below may define additional fields       |
| Headers read in route          | No additional direct header reads; authentication helpers may read credentials |

## Authentication and access [#authentication-and-access]

Management auth context: validated x-api-key or configured session authentication; trusted gateway integration may select its auth pipeline. Organization/tenant checks are separate.

## Request and response definitions [#request-and-response-definitions]

The following named definitions are imported or declared by this route. Optional markers, defaults, bounds, and enum values are shown exactly as implemented. A response type is a source contract, not an example populated with real account data.

### ServiceBindingRequest [#servicebindingrequest]

```typescript
ServiceBindingRequest = z.object({
  target_service_id: z.string(),
  binding_config: z.record(z.unknown()).optional(),
})
```

Source: `minds-ui/apps/api-service/types/service.ts:222`.

### ServiceBindingRequest [#servicebindingrequest-1]

```typescript
export type ServiceBindingRequest = z.infer<typeof ServiceBindingRequest>
```

Source: `minds-ui/apps/api-service/types/service.ts:227`.

### ServiceBindingResponse [#servicebindingresponse]

```typescript
ServiceBindingResponse = z.object({
  source_service_id: z.string(),
  target_service_id: z.string(),
  binding_status: z.enum(['bound', 'failed']),
  endpoint: z.string().url().optional(),
  binding_metadata: z.record(z.unknown()).optional(),
})
```

Source: `minds-ui/apps/api-service/types/service.ts:233`.

### ServiceBindingResponse [#servicebindingresponse-1]

```typescript
export type ServiceBindingResponse = z.infer<typeof ServiceBindingResponse>
```

Source: `minds-ui/apps/api-service/types/service.ts:241`.

## Method behavior [#method-behavior]

The handler excerpt preserves field validation, response envelopes, cookie changes, and exception branches. Values returned by service helpers retain their named response type above; for passthrough routes, the upstream response is authoritative.

### POST [#post]

```typescript
export async function POST(
  request: NextRequest,
  { params }: { params: Promise<{ id: string }> },
) {
  const requestId = generateRequestId()
  let rateLimitInfo: RateLimitMetadata | undefined

  try {
    const authContext = await resolveAuthContext(request)
    const { id } = await params
    const body = await validateBody(request, ServiceBindingRequest)

    const evaluation = await enforceRateLimit({
      context: authContext,
    })

    rateLimitInfo = {
      ...evaluation.metadata,
      retryAfter: evaluation.retryAfter,
    }

    if (evaluation.blocked) {
      throw new RateLimitExceededError(evaluation.retryAfter ?? 60)
    }

    const result = await bindService(authContext, id, body)

    const response = apiSuccess<ServiceBindingResponse>(result)
    return withRequestMetadata(response, requestId, rateLimitInfo)
  } catch (error) {
    if (error instanceof ApiError) {
      const response = apiError(error, requestId)
      return withRequestMetadata(response, requestId, rateLimitInfo)
    }
    console.error('Failed to bind service:', error)
    const response = apiError(
      new ApiError(500, 'INTERNAL_ERROR', 'Failed to bind service'),
      requestId,
    )
    return withRequestMetadata(response, requestId, rateLimitInfo)
  }
}
```

## Response and error branches [#response-and-error-branches]

Literal HTTP statuses in the route: 500. Shared management error classes are defined in [Errors and responses](/docs/api/platform/errors).

```typescript
new RateLimitExceededError(evaluation.retryAfter ?? 60)
```

Source: `minds-ui/apps/api-service/app/api/v1/services/[id]/bind/route.ts:45`.

```typescript
apiSuccess<ServiceBindingResponse>(result)
```

Source: `minds-ui/apps/api-service/app/api/v1/services/[id]/bind/route.ts:50`.

```typescript
apiError(error, requestId)
```

Source: `minds-ui/apps/api-service/app/api/v1/services/[id]/bind/route.ts:54`.

```typescript
apiError(
      new ApiError(500, 'INTERNAL_ERROR', 'Failed to bind service'),
      requestId,
    )
```

Source: `minds-ui/apps/api-service/app/api/v1/services/[id]/bind/route.ts:58`.

```typescript
new ApiError(500, 'INTERNAL_ERROR', 'Failed to bind service')
```

Source: `minds-ui/apps/api-service/app/api/v1/services/[id]/bind/route.ts:59`.
