# Retry processing for a failed file

POST https://api.cloudraker.com/spaces/{spaceId}/files/{fileId}/reprocess

Resets a `failed` file to `waiting` and re-enqueues it for processing (a fresh attempt gets the full automatic retry budget). Returns the updated file record. 409 if the file is not in the `failed` state; 404 if the file does not belong to :spaceId (cross-space access is hidden). Authorization: requires `space:contribute` on :spaceId (missing permission → 403; org admins bypass).

Reference: https://docs.cloudraker.com/paperwork/api/space-files/reprocess-space-file

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required)

## Request

### Path parameters

- `spaceId` (string, required)
- `fileId` (string, required)

## Response

### 200

The file, reset to `waiting` and re-enqueued.

- `id` (string, required)
- `fileName` (string, required)
- `parentType` (string, required)
- `parentId` (string, required)
- `mimeType` (string, required)
- `size` (double, required, nullable) — Size in bytes, null until stored.
- `status` (enum, required) — Terminal values are `stored` (uploaded, no processing requested), `processed` and `failed`; `waiting` and `processing` mean keep polling.
  - Allowed values: `waiting`, `stored`, `processing`, `processed`, `failed`
- `processingKind` (enum, required, nullable)
  - Allowed values: `doc-simple`, `doc-ocr`, `doc-auto`, `audio-transcribe`, `audio-transcribe-and-diarize`
- `createdAt` (datetime, required)
- `processingError` (string, optional)
- `parentFileId` (string, optional) — Source file this one was generated from (e.g. a redacted or signed copy).
- `artifacts` (list of string, optional) — Parsing byproducts present, e.g. `structured`, `transcript`.
- `indexVectors` (boolean, optional)
- `indexOntology` (boolean, optional)
- `storedAt` (datetime, optional)
- `processedAt` (datetime, optional)
- `urls` (object, optional) — Minted download links, each valid ~1 hour. Present on single-file reads only — list responses mint none.
  - `file` (string, optional) — The stored original.
  - `processedJson` (string, optional) — Structured/grounded JSON.
  - `processedMd` (string, optional) — Extracted markdown.
  - `previewPdf` (string, optional)
