Credential checks ("Test Analytics")

A stored credential nobody has used is a credential nobody has verified. A credential check sends a real "Test Analytics" event to each tool a project stores credentials for — or, in verify mode, probes each one without sending anything — and records one verdict per project × tool.

Available since backend 2026.09.11.1.

Two modes, two scopes

Mode	What happens	Scope
verify	Read-only probes. No event is created anywhere. Works on any project	can_read_vault
send	A real "Test Analytics" event wherever the provider has an API for one	can_write_vault

send only reaches a project whose Test Events switch is ON

Every project has a test_events_enabled switch, and it is off by default, because client projects are registered here too and must never receive a test event. A send on a project with the switch off is 409 TEST_EVENTS_DISABLED — nothing is sent. Turn it on with PATCH /projects/{project} {"test_events_enabled": true} (needs can_write_vault).

What each tool can actually prove

Each verdict is one of passed (the provider acknowledged it, or the credential is proven), sent (delivered, but the provider gives no verdict), warning, failed or skipped (nothing stored, or not applicable).

Tool (service)	Needs	What a server can prove
amplitude	amplitude.api_key	Everything. An empty-events request validates the key and ingests nothing; a real send is acknowledged (events_ingested). A US key is invalid on the EU endpoint, so the data centre is detected too
sentry	sentry.dsn	Everything. The envelope endpoint authenticates the DSN. Verify sends an outcome report, not an event; send creates one event with a fixed fingerprint, so repeated runs stay in one issue per project
firebase_analytics	firebase.web_api_key, firebase.app_id_web	The config. Firebase's own web-config endpoint proves the key and the web app id, and returns the measurement id — compared with the one stored. The event then goes to GA4
google_analytics	google_analytics.measurement_id	Nothing. GA4 answers the same for any id, so the verdict is sent; confirm in GA4 → Admin → DebugView. The event is test_analytics — GA4 rejects spaces in event names
clarity	clarity.project_id	That the project exists. Clarity has no server-side event API; the event is recorded from a browser by the Live browser test in the admin panel
onesignal	onesignal.app_id	The configuration — the bound web origin and whether Android has an FCM sender. Never a push, in either mode
yandex_metrica	yandex_metrica.counter_id	The format only — the goal is recorded from a browser

Endpoints

POST /projects/{project}/credential-checks

One project, synchronously.

curl -s -X POST https://fileshub.zaions.com/api/public/v1/projects/my-app/credential-checks \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FH_PAT" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode":"send","services":["amplitude","sentry"]}'

services is optional — absent means every tool. The response carries the run and every result:

{ "data": {
  "run": { "id": "01K…", "mode": "send", "status": "completed",
           "counts": { "passed": 2, "sent": 0, "warnings": 0, "failed": 0, "skipped": 0 } },
  "results": [
    { "service": "amplitude", "status": "passed", "event_sent": true,
      "summary": "Amplitude acknowledged ingestion of \"Test Analytics\" (US data centre)…" },
    { "service": "sentry", "status": "passed", "event_sent": true,
      "summary": "Sentry accepted the \"Test Analytics\" event 3f1c…" } ] } }

POST /credential-checks

Many projects, queued — 202 with a run to poll. projects is a list of ids, slugs or public ids (at most 100), or "all_enabled" for every project whose switch is on. In send mode, a listed project with the switch off is recorded as skipped rather than failing the whole run.

GET /credential-checks/{run} · GET /credential-checks/{run}/results

The run's status and counters, and its results — paginated (default 20, max 50) and filterable by status, service and project. A project-scoped token sees only the runs it started.

Daily runs

Every project with its switch on receives a "Test Analytics" event daily at 05:20 (server time). A project with the switch off is never touched.
