# Send an event again (/api/events/retry-event)

`POST https://api.comecero.com/api/v1/events/{event_id}/retry`

Sends the event to its event subscription now, with the same `event_id` and `data`, and answers with the event after the attempt. Check `status`: `delivered` if your server answered 2xx, otherwise `failed`. A failed manual attempt does not start automatic retries, but an event already waiting for a retry keeps its place in that queue. It uses the event subscription's current destination and settings. No body is needed. Events are kept for 30 days after their last change, and for 7 days once delivered or in test mode; after that the event is gone (`404`). Secret and trusted tokens may call it; a limited token may not (`403`).

## Parameters

- `event_id` (path, required): The event id.
- `debug` (query): When `true`, the answer includes `debug` with why the attempt failed.
- `expand` (query): Comma-separated child objects to return in full instead of as a URL, for example `customer,payments`. Use dot notation for nested objects (`items.product`), up to four levels deep. A single object takes up to 12 paths; a list takes up to 2, applied to every item. Extra paths are dropped without an error. See [Expanding objects](https://docs.comecero.com/docs/basic-concepts/expanding-objects).
- `show` (query): Comma-separated fields to return; all others are left out. Use dot notation for child fields (`customer.email`). You cannot send `show` and `hide` together (`400`). See [Customizing output](https://docs.comecero.com/docs/basic-concepts/customizing-output).
- `hide` (query): Comma-separated fields to leave out of the response. Use dot notation for child fields (`customer.email`). You cannot send `show` and `hide` together (`400`). See [Customizing output](https://docs.comecero.com/docs/basic-concepts/customizing-output).
- `formatted` (query): When `true`, the object also has a `formatted` child with amounts and dates as display text in the shopper's language and currency (for example `$19.99` or `November 7, 2026`). The default is `false`. See [Localized formatting](https://docs.comecero.com/docs/basic-concepts/localized-formatting).

Responses: 200, 400, 401, 403, 404, 500.
