# Send a test liquidation alert

> POST /v1/alerts/{id}/test sends a sample liquidation to the alert's destination now and reports whether it arrived; a delivered test re-enables a disabled alert.



## OpenAPI

````yaml POST /v1/alerts/{id}/test
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Ironflow API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    Hyperliquid market data from Ironflow's own nodes: tick-level fills and

    trades, candles, funding rates, liquidations, mark prices, open interest,

    markets and wallet analytics over REST. One schema across native HL perps,

    HIP-3 builder markets, HIP-4 outcome contracts and HL spot.


    **Base URL:** `https://api.ironflow.sh`


    **Authentication:** Read endpoints work without a key (keyless access) or

    with a Bearer token in the `Authorization` header. Writes always need a key.

    ```

    Authorization: Bearer if_your_api_key

    ```

    Get a free key at https://ironflow.sh/key.


    **Access levels:**


    | Access | Requests per minute | History | Max range per request |

    |---|---|---|---|

    | No key | 10 per IP | 24 hours | 1 hour |

    | Free key | 60 | 30 days | 6 hours |

    | Explorer | 100 | 90 days | 24 hours |

    | Builder | 1,000 | 1 year | 7 days |

    | Enterprise | 10,000 | full | unlimited |


    Without a market filter, high-volume endpoints allow at most 4 hours per
    request.

    `/v1/trades` filtered to one perp or spot market allows 24 hours per request

    without a key and on a free key.

    A header that is present but malformed returns 401; keyless access applies
    only

    when no `Authorization` header is sent.


    **Data availability:** fills and trades cover a rolling 12 months; other

    datasets start later (funding 2025-09-27, open interest and mark prices

    2026-04-29).


    **Timestamps:** All timestamps are Unix milliseconds (int64).


    **Pagination:** Paginated endpoints return a `cursor` in
    `pagination.next_cursor`.

    Pass it as the `cursor` query parameter to fetch the next page.

    When `pagination.has_more` is `false`, you have reached the last page.
