Idempotency
The property that doing the same request twice has the same effect as doing it once.
- Also called
idempotency key
At OneLifeVibe
- Most OneLifeVibe write tools are idempotent: repeating the same request has no further effect. The one exception is the sensitive write taskfamily_add_event, which takes an idempotency_key so a retried call does not add the same family event twice.
- Webhook receivers make delivery idempotent by deduping on webhook-id.
