Request fields (body)

Response fields

Field Type Description
success boolean true on a successful call
data object The lead after the call, all fields — see Lead fields
data.stageId string The status of the lead after the call. The value arrives in this field regardless of which name it was passed under in the request body
data.movedTime string Timestamp of the last status change, ISO 8601

Response example

The main fields are shown.

JSON 
{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "id": 42,
    "title": "Website request",
    "name": "Maria",
    "stageId": "IN_PROCESS",
    "stageSemanticId": "P",
    "assignedById": 1,
    "movedBy": 1,
    "movedTime": "2026-08-25T10:47:20+00:00",
    "updatedTime": "2026-08-25T10:47:20.000Z",
    "entityTypeId": 1
  }
}

Error response example

404 — no lead with that id:

JSON 
{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "ENTITY_NOT_FOUND",
    "message": "Item not found"
  }
}

422 — the status that was sent was not applied (a value absent from the dictionary, for example). By that point the write had already reached Bitrix24 and the record had been re-read, so the refusal carries the re-read lead in data, and error.details carries the list of unapplied fields with their current values:

JSON 
{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "STAGE_NOT_APPLIED",
    "message": "Bitrix24 accepted the write but did not apply it: stageId requested \"BOGUS_STATUS\", still \"NEW\" after re-read. The value is likely not a valid id for this lead — check GET /v1/statuses?filter[entityId]=... (or GET /v1/deal-categories for a pipeline id) for the valid set before retrying. The record was already written and re-read: any OTHER field in the same request may have been applied, so correct the value and send only what still needs changing rather than repeating the whole body.",
    "details": {
      "unappliedFields": ["stageId"],
      "currentValues": {
        "stageId": "NEW"
      }
    }
  },
  "data": {
    "id": 42,
    "title": "Website request",
    "name": "Maria",
    "stageId": "NEW",
    "entityTypeId": 1
  }
}

Errors

HTTP Code Description
404 ENTITY_NOT_FOUND No lead with the given id
422 STAGE_NOT_APPLIED The statusId/stageId that was sent was not applied — after the call the status was still the old one (usually a value absent from the dictionary). Such a call used to answer 200 with no warning; now it is an explicit error: details in error.message and error.details, the re-read lead in data
422 BITRIX_ERROR Bitrix24 rejected the call itself (not the status value specifically) — a malformed field, for example. The reason arrives in error.message, the machine-readable Bitrix24 code in error.b24Code
403 BITRIX_ACCESS_DENIED Bitrix24 denied access to the lead
403 SCOPE_DENIED The key lacks the crm scope
403 WRITE_BLOCKED_READONLY_KEY A key in read-only mode called a write method
401 TOKEN_MISSING The API key has no configured tokens
429 RATE_LIMITED Request limit exceeded. The response carries a Retry-After header with the recommended pause

Known specifics

  • An empty body is not an error. A call with no statusId/stageId in the body answers 200, and the lead stays on its previous status: there is nothing to compare, so this is not STAGE_NOT_APPLIED — the platform only verifies the fields that were actually sent.
