# How to Queue / Dequeue via API

Aviator provides a set of [<mark style="color:blue;">APIs</mark>](https://docs.aviator.co/reference/api-documentation) and [<mark style="color:blue;">webhooks</mark>](https://docs.aviator.co/reference/webhooks) that you can leverage to build custom workflows. In addition, you can use the [<mark style="color:blue;">Pilot automated workflows</mark>](https://docs.aviator.co/reference/pilot-automated-actions) to define your custom logic.

For instance, you can use an API to queue or dequeue a PR. You can use this to automatically trigger a queue event on an external event happening.

```bash
curl -X POST \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer <aviator_token>" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"action": "queue",
         "pull_request": {
            "number": 1234,
            "repository": {"name": "repo_name", "org": "org_name"},
            "head_commit_sha":" "69f4404fda48aa2932abfbcb6956a9ccd473b17d",
           "merge_commit_message": {
                "title": "This is where title goes",
                "body": "This is where body goes"
            }
          }
       }’ \
https://api.aviator.co/api/v1/pull_request/
```

Likewise, you can dequeue a PR by using `"action": "dequeue"` in the same API request. Dequeuing also clears any pending ready / skip-line / skip-validation options previously set on the PR, so re-queuing starts from a clean state.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.aviator.co/mergequeue/how-to-guides/queue-dequeue-via-api.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
