Rename a connection list
POST
/account/api/v1/residential/lists/renameConfirm the operation deliberately
This operation may change a record, balance or service configuration. Read its scope and notes first. After an uncertain result, query the same operation rather than starting another.
Authorization
| Authorization | Bearer YOUR_ARNPROXY_API_KEY |
|---|---|
| Required permission | residential_management |
| Accept | application/json |
| Content-Type | application/json |
| Idempotency-Key | 16–100 letters, digits, _ or -. Persist and reuse the same value for the same operation. |
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
Idempotency-Key | string | 16–100 letters/digits/_/-. Keep the same value for the operation/status; do not reuse with a different body. |
list_id | integer | Owned ARNPROXY connection-list record ID, not the supplier list ID. |
title | string | Non-empty UTF-8 text, up to 255 bytes; no control characters, < or >. |
expected_title | string | Exact current title; may be empty, at most 255 UTF-8 bytes. |
Request body
Replace YOUR_/FROM_ placeholders with values from the relevant catalog, quote or scope. Examples leave consent false; only approve a real operation intentionally.

| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
ok | boolean | Success envelope flag; on false inspect error.code. |
data | object | Operation-specific result; examples are illustrative and synthetic. |
data.state | string | Record/operation state. accepted is not delivery; completed is not a connection test. |
data.list_id | integer | Relevant ARNPROXY record ID; use it instead of the upstream internal ID. |
data.action | string | Operation-specific action value; preserve its demonstrated type and consult the behavior notes. |
data.requested_value | string | Operation-specific requested value value; preserve its demonstrated type and consult the behavior notes. |
data.write_sent | boolean | Operation-specific write sent value; preserve its demonstrated type and consult the behavior notes. |
data.reason | string|null | Fixed reason code or null, never raw provider error text. |
data.replayed | boolean | Saved result for the same operation was returned, not proof of a new debit/action. |
data.updated_at | integer | Unix seconds for Residential settings operations; preserve the representation shown for other results. |
data.next_action | string|null | Operation-specific next action value; preserve its demonstrated type and consult the behavior notes. |
meta | object | Request correlation and data-source metadata. |
meta.request_id | string | This HTTP request’s correlation ID, not an operation key or order ID. |
meta.phase | string | Operation-specific phase value; preserve its demonstrated type and consult the behavior notes. |
meta.source | string | Data source; local records and a live provider lookup are different evidence. |

Behavior & important notes
- Package and list IDs are ARNPROXY record IDs, not upstream package keys or list IDs. A stale package snapshot cannot grant access; refresh it with residential_package_refresh when needed.
- New lists support login_password or ip_auth. IP-auth lists accept 1–20 unique public IPv4 addresses. Deleting a list does not delete its GB package; only connections using that list are revoked.
- A timeout/5xx is not proof that a write failed. Use the original Idempotency-Key with its status resource. Do not retry under a new key; GET does not resend the change.
