#### Pinging
{{% added-in v="1.7" %}}
The application service API includes a ping mechanism to allow
appservices to ensure that the homeserver can reach the appservice.
Appservices may use this mechanism to detect misconfigurations and
report them appropriately.
Implementations using this mechanism should take care to not fail
entirely in the event of temporary issues, e.g. gracefully handling
cases where the appservice is started before the homeserver.
The mechanism works as follows (note: the human-readable `error` fields
have been omitted for brevity):
**Typical**
```
AS ---> HS : /_matrix/client/v1/appservice/{appserviceId}/ping {"transaction_id": "meow"}
HS ---> AS : /_matrix/app/v1/ping {"transaction_id": "meow"}
HS <--- AS : 200 OK {}
AS <--- HS : 200 OK {"duration_ms": 123}
```
**Incorrect `hs_token`**
```
AS ---> HS : /_matrix/client/v1/appservice/{appserviceId}/ping {"transaction_id": "meow"}
HS ---> AS : /_matrix/app/v1/ping {"transaction_id": "meow"}
HS <--- AS : 403 Forbidden {"errcode": "M_FORBIDDEN"}
AS <--- HS : 502 Bad Gateway {"errcode": "M_BAD_STATUS", "status": 403, "body": "{\"errcode\": \"M_FORBIDDEN\"}"}
```
**Can't connect to appservice**
```
AS ---> HS : /_matrix/client/v1/appservice/{appserviceId}/ping {"transaction_id": "meow"}
HS -/-> AS : /_matrix/app/v1/ping {"transaction_id": "meow"}
AS <--- HS : 502 Bad Gateway {"errcode": "M_CONNECTION_FAILED"}
```
The `/_matrix/app/v1/ping` endpoint is described here. The
[`/_matrix/client/v1/appservice/{appserviceId}/ping`](#post_matrixclientv1appserviceappserviceidping)
endpoint is under the Client-Server API extensions section below.

This API asks the homeserver to call the
[`/_matrix/app/v1/ping`](#post_matrixappv1ping) endpoint on the
application service to ensure that the homeserver can communicate
with the application service.
This API requires the use of an application service access token (`as_token`)
instead of a typical client's access token. This API cannot be invoked by
users who are not identified as application services. Additionally, the
appservice ID in the path must be the same as the appservice whose `as_token`
is being used.
