# Assign websites to a Broken Links Checker global configuration

POST https://api.modulards.com/api/public/v1/preset-broken-links/{preset_broken_link}/sites/sync
Content-Type: application/json

Assigns the websites you list in `sites` to one Broken Links Checker global configuration. The change is immediate: the answer lists the websites that changed and the ones left out, so there is nothing to follow up.

What happens to each website:
- A website with no configuration gets this one. A website that used another one moves to this one and takes its schedule.
- Every assigned website is left with automatic scans enabled and its next scan scheduled, even if it was paused. To change the configuration of one website and keep it paused, use "Update a website's Broken Links Checker settings" instead.
- Websites you do not list are never unassigned: a website leaves a configuration by moving to another one.
- A website that already uses this configuration (`ALREADY_APPLIED`), or that your token cannot reach (`PERMISSION_DENIED`, with a null `site_name`), is reported in `meta.skipped` with a `reason_code` and a message instead of failing the call.

Each website in `meta.updated` carries `site_preset_broken_link_id`, the id that "Retrieve a website's Broken Links Checker settings" and "Update a website's Broken Links Checker settings" take.

**Body**
- `sites` (array of integers, required): ids of the websites to act on, 1 to 50.

**Errors**
- **422**: an id that is not a website.

## Request

### Path parameters

- `preset_broken_link` (string, required)

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects an object.

- `sites` (list of double, optional)

## Response

### 200

200 - Websites assigned, one skipped

- `jsonapi` (ApiPublicV1PresetBrokenLinksPresetBrokenLinkSitesSyncPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaJsonapi, optional)
- `meta` (ApiPublicV1PresetBrokenLinksPresetBrokenLinkSitesSyncPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaMeta, optional)

## Types

### ApiPublicV1PresetBrokenLinksPresetBrokenLinkSitesSyncPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaJsonapi

- `version` (string, optional)

### ApiPublicV1PresetBrokenLinksPresetBrokenLinkSitesSyncPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaMeta

- `skipped` (list of ApiPublicV1PresetBrokenLinksPresetBrokenLinkSitesSyncPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaMetaSkippedItems, optional)
- `status` (enum, optional) — Outcome of the call: applied when at least one website changed, skipped when none did.
  - Allowed values: `applied`, `skipped`
- `updated` (list of ApiPublicV1PresetBrokenLinksPresetBrokenLinkSitesSyncPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaMetaUpdatedItems, optional)

### ApiPublicV1PresetBrokenLinksPresetBrokenLinkSitesSyncPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaMetaSkippedItems

- `message` (string, optional) — Human-readable explanation.
- `reason_code` (enum, optional) — Why it was left out: ALREADY_APPLIED or PERMISSION_DENIED.
  - Allowed values: `ALREADY_APPLIED`, `PERMISSION_DENIED`
- `site_id` (integer, optional) — Id of a website left out.
- `site_name` (string, optional, nullable) — Name of that website; null when the id is outside your token's reach.
- `site_preset_broken_link_id` (integer, optional, nullable) — The website's settings id when it has one; null otherwise.

### ApiPublicV1PresetBrokenLinksPresetBrokenLinkSitesSyncPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaMetaUpdatedItems

- `site_id` (integer, optional) — Id of a website that changed.
- `site_name` (string, optional) — Name of that website.
- `site_preset_broken_link_id` (integer, optional) — Id of the website's Broken Links Checker settings, the id "Retrieve a website's Broken Links Checker settings" takes.
