# Re-check a monitored address list now

`POST /api/v1/address/monitors/{monitorId}/run`

- Authentication: Secret API key as a bearer token
- Billing: The run bills every address like a single lookup; addresses that do not stand as written, and 7-day repeats, are free.
- Group: Address

Queues a run right away instead of waiting for the schedule; when it finishes, the next scheduled run is set one cadence from then. Answers `202` with the monitor as it stands before the run; poll it for the new `last_run_at`, `last_summary` and `results`. A monitor that belongs to another account answers `404`.

## Parameters

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `monitorId` | path | integer | yes | The monitor's id from the list endpoint. |

## Example request

```bash
curl -X POST https://spaw.co/api/v1/address/monitors/9/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…"
