Enabling a site makes the proxy subdomain live so researchers can connect. Disabling it takes the proxy offline — requests to the hackgatedName subdomain return a default page until you re-enable it.

​
Enable a site

Send a GET request to /api/sites/enable/{id}: 
curl https://api-admin.hackgate.io/api/sites/enable/SITE_ID \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"
The site’s isActive field becomes true. The activity log records a Started event with the current timestamp.

​
Disable a site

Send a GET request to /api/sites/disable/{id}: 
curl https://api-admin.hackgate.io/api/sites/disable/SITE_ID \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"
The site’s isActive field becomes false. Researchers connecting to the proxy subdomain receive a default offline page. The activity log records a Stopped event.

​
Response

Both endpoints return the updated site object: 
{
  "id": "a1b2c3d4-...",
  "originName": "https://www.example.com",
  "hackgatedName": "www-myorg.hackgate.net",
  "isActive": true,
  "isDeploymentProgress": false
}
