Update expiring context targets for a segment. Updating a context target expiration uses the semantic patch format. To make a semantic patch request, you must append `domain-model=launchdarkly.semanticpatch` to your `Content-Type` header. To learn more, read [Updates using semantic patch](https://launchdarkly.com/docs/api#updates-using-semantic-patch). If the request is well-formed but any of its instructions failed to process, this operation returns status code `200`. In this case, the response `errors` array will be non-empty. ### Instructions Semantic patch requests support the following `kind` instructions for updating expiring context targets. <details> <summary>Click to expand instructions for <strong>updating expiring context targets</strong></summary> #### addExpiringTarget Schedules a date and time when LaunchDarkly will remove a context from segment targeting. The segment must already have the context as an individual target. ##### Parameters - `targetType`: The type of individual target for this context. Must be either `included` or `excluded`. - `contextKey`: The context key. - `contextKind`: The kind of context being targeted. - `value`: The date when the context should expire from the segment targeting, in Unix milliseconds. Here's an example: ```json { "instructions": [{ "kind": "addExpiringTarget", "targetType": "included", "contextKey": "user-key-123abc", "contextKind": "user", "value": 1754092860000 }] } ``` #### updateExpiringTarget Updates the date and time when LaunchDarkly will remove a context from segment targeting. ##### Parameters - `targetType`: The type of individual target for this context. Must be either `included` or `excluded`. - `contextKey`: The context key. - `contextKind`: The kind of context being targeted. - `value`: The new date when the context should expire from the segment targeting, in Unix milliseconds. - `version`: (Optional) The version of the expiring target to update. If included, update will fail if version doesn't match current version of the expiring target. Here's an example: ```json { "instructions": [{ "kind": "updateExpiringTarget", "targetType": "included", "contextKey": "user-key-123abc", "contextKind": "user", "value": 1754179260000 }] } ``` #### removeExpiringTarget Removes the scheduled expiration for the context in the segment. ##### Parameters - `targetType`: The type of individual target for this context. Must be either `included` or `excluded`. - `contextKey`: The context key. - `contextKind`: The kind of context being targeted. Here's an example: ```json { "instructions": [{ "kind": "removeExpiringTarget", "targetType": "included", "contextKey": "user-key-123abc", "contextKind": "user", }] } ``` </details>

Update expiring context targets for a segment. Updating a context target expiration uses the semantic patch format.

To make a semantic patch request, you must append domain-model=launchdarkly.semanticpatch to your Content-Type header. To learn more, read Updates using semantic patch.

If the request is well-formed but any of its instructions failed to process, this operation returns status code 200. In this case, the response errors array will be non-empty.

Instructions

Semantic patch requests support the following kind instructions for updating expiring context targets.

Click to expand instructions for updating expiring context targets

addExpiringTarget

Schedules a date and time when LaunchDarkly will remove a context from segment targeting. The segment must already have the context as an individual target.

Parameters
  • targetType: The type of individual target for this context. Must be either included or excluded.
  • contextKey: The context key.
  • contextKind: The kind of context being targeted.
  • value: The date when the context should expire from the segment targeting, in Unix milliseconds.

Here’s an example:

1{
2 "instructions": [{
3 "kind": "addExpiringTarget",
4 "targetType": "included",
5 "contextKey": "user-key-123abc",
6 "contextKind": "user",
7 "value": 1754092860000
8 }]
9}

updateExpiringTarget

Updates the date and time when LaunchDarkly will remove a context from segment targeting.

Parameters
  • targetType: The type of individual target for this context. Must be either included or excluded.
  • contextKey: The context key.
  • contextKind: The kind of context being targeted.
  • value: The new date when the context should expire from the segment targeting, in Unix milliseconds.
  • version: (Optional) The version of the expiring target to update. If included, update will fail if version doesn’t match current version of the expiring target.

Here’s an example:

1{
2 "instructions": [{
3 "kind": "updateExpiringTarget",
4 "targetType": "included",
5 "contextKey": "user-key-123abc",
6 "contextKind": "user",
7 "value": 1754179260000
8 }]
9}

removeExpiringTarget

Removes the scheduled expiration for the context in the segment.

Parameters
  • targetType: The type of individual target for this context. Must be either included or excluded.
  • contextKey: The context key.
  • contextKind: The kind of context being targeted.

Here’s an example:

1{
2 "instructions": [{
3 "kind": "removeExpiringTarget",
4 "targetType": "included",
5 "contextKey": "user-key-123abc",
6 "contextKind": "user",
7 }]
