# Report a build

**POST** `/v1/builds`

⚠️ Experimental endpoint: this API is in active development and may change at any time without notice. ⚠️

Records a build any deploy tool is running — a CI workflow, a deploy script, or Composer from a laptop. The workspace comes from the token, never from the body, which is what lets a build be reported before the project it will create exists. Supplying `runIdentity` makes the call idempotent: a repeat for the same run returns the build already recorded rather than a second one. The response is the same either way; a caller cannot tell whether it created the build or joined one.

A build reported with no `runIdentity` has no dedup key, so a client that retries a lost response creates a second build. Supply a `runIdentity` whenever the run has one.
