Fork Simulation
Creates a new Simulation from the source Simulation’s current state, or from an earlier recorded step when you set at_step. The source must be running or paused; a stopped source returns 409 simulation_stopped. Forking does not change the source. The response includes the new endpoint and the fork’s own token, which does not expire.
Authorizations
Use a Continuous API key. Send it in the Authorization header as a Bearer token.
Path Parameters
Source Simulation ID.
^sim_[0-9A-HJKMNP-TV-Z]{26}$Body
Response
Created
Current clock advance operation ID, or null.
^adv_[0-9A-HJKMNP-TV-Z]{26}$Simulation creation time.
Current simulated time.
Base URL for requests to the Simulation. For a Simulation in your own runtime environment it is that environment's proxy, and the Continuous /sim/{id} URL answers 421 simulation_endpoint_external.
True when the endpoint is your own runtime environment's proxy rather than Continuous's, so a client calls it directly.
Always null; Simulation tokens do not expire. Deprecated; will be removed.
Simulation ID.
^sim_[0-9A-HJKMNP-TV-Z]{26}$Whether the Simulation started with the Simulator's sample data. A fork inherits its source's state and reports false.
Customer JSON metadata, or null.
Simulation name. The ID is its identity, and names need not be unique.
128Source Simulation ID for a fork, or null.
^sim_[0-9A-HJKMNP-TV-Z]{26}$OCI manifest digest pinned when the Simulation was created.
^sha256:[0-9a-f]{64}$ID of the Simulator bound to this Simulation.
^smr_[0-9A-HJKMNP-TV-Z]{26}$Initial simulated time.
Current status. running serves requests. paused means the Simulation was idle and the platform paused it; the next request wakes it. stopped means its state is saved and requests return 409 until you start it.
running, paused, stopped The Simulation's token for requests to its endpoint. It does not expire. Send it in the X-Continuous-Simulation-Token header, with an actor's id from GET /v1/simulations/{id} in X-Continuous-Actor to act as that caller. Retrieve it later with GET /v1/simulations/{id}/token.
