# Access requests API

The Access Request API enables programmatic approval, denial, and revocation of access requests within the P0 platform. It is designed to support custom workflows and automation. Integrate with external systems and services to process access grants without using the P0 user interface.

This is particularly useful for integrating P0 into your internal tooling, bots, or security workflows that require automatic access escalation based on alerts, CI/CD pipelines, or external approvals.

## Approve a permission request

> Approve an access request by request ID.

```json
{"openapi":"3.0.4","info":{"title":"P0 Permission Request API","version":"1.0.0"},"servers":[{"url":"https://api.p0.app"}],"security":[{"bearerAuth":[]}],"components":{"securitySchemes":{"bearerAuth":{"type":"http","scheme":"bearer","bearerFormat":"JWT"}}},"paths":{"/o/{orgId}/permission-requests/{requestId}/approve":{"post":{"summary":"Approve a permission request","operationId":"approveRequest","description":"Approve an access request by request ID.","parameters":[{"name":"orgId","in":"path","description":"Organization identifier","required":true,"schema":{"type":"string"}},{"name":"requestId","in":"path","description":"Unique identifier for the permission request","required":true,"schema":{"type":"string"}}],"requestBody":{"required":true,"content":{"application/json":{"schema":{"type":"object","required":["expirationLength"],"properties":{"expirationLength":{"type":"string","description":"Duration for which access should be granted (e.g. \"2h\", \"30m\")"}}}}}},"responses":{"200":{"description":"Request approved"},"400":{"description":"Invalid or expired request"},"401":{"description":"Unauthorized"}}}}}}
```

## Deny a permission request

> Deny an access request by request ID.

```json
{"openapi":"3.0.4","info":{"title":"P0 Permission Request API","version":"1.0.0"},"servers":[{"url":"https://api.p0.app"}],"security":[{"bearerAuth":[]}],"components":{"securitySchemes":{"bearerAuth":{"type":"http","scheme":"bearer","bearerFormat":"JWT"}}},"paths":{"/o/{orgId}/permission-requests/{requestId}/deny":{"post":{"summary":"Deny a permission request","operationId":"denyRequest","description":"Deny an access request by request ID.","parameters":[{"name":"orgId","in":"path","description":"Organization identifier","required":true,"schema":{"type":"string"}},{"name":"requestId","in":"path","description":"Unique identifier for the permission request","required":true,"schema":{"type":"string"}}],"requestBody":{"required":false,"content":{"application/json":{"schema":{"type":"object"}}}},"responses":{"200":{"description":"Request denied"},"400":{"description":"Invalid or expired request"},"401":{"description":"Unauthorized"}}}}}}
```

## Revoke a granted permission

> Revoke access previously granted by request ID.

```json
{"openapi":"3.0.4","info":{"title":"P0 Permission Request API","version":"1.0.0"},"servers":[{"url":"https://api.p0.app"}],"security":[{"bearerAuth":[]}],"components":{"securitySchemes":{"bearerAuth":{"type":"http","scheme":"bearer","bearerFormat":"JWT"}}},"paths":{"/o/{orgId}/permission-requests/{requestId}/revoke":{"post":{"summary":"Revoke a granted permission","operationId":"revokeRequest","description":"Revoke access previously granted by request ID.","parameters":[{"name":"orgId","in":"path","description":"Organization identifier","required":true,"schema":{"type":"string"}},{"name":"requestId","in":"path","description":"Unique identifier for the permission request","required":true,"schema":{"type":"string"}}],"requestBody":{"required":false,"content":{"application/json":{"schema":{"type":"object"}}}},"responses":{"200":{"description":"Access revoked"},"400":{"description":"Invalid or expired request"},"401":{"description":"Unauthorized"}}}}}}
```
