Overview

Activates a paused stream to resume data ingestion and delivery to your configured destination. Use this endpoint to restart a stream that was previously paused.

Key behaviors:

• Stream resumes from where it was paused
• Data delivery continues to the configured destination
• No configuration changes are made
• Stream status changes from paused to active

Endpoint

Send a POST request to activate a paused stream.

POST https://api.quicknode.com/streams/rest/v1/streams/{id}/activate

Path Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
id	string	Yes	The unique identifier (UUID) of the stream to activate
