## Record Heartbeat

`beta.environments.work.heartbeat(work_id, **kwargs)  -> BetaSelfHostedWorkHeartbeatResponse`

**POST** `/v1/environments/{environment_id}/work/{work_id}/heartbeat`

Note: these endpoints are called automatically by the pre-built environment worker provided in the SDKs and CLI, for orchestrating sessions with self-hosted sandbox environments. They are included here as a reference; you do not need to invoke them directly.

Record a heartbeat for a work item to maintain the lease.

### Parameters

- `environment_id: str` (path parameter)

- `work_id: str` (path parameter)

- `desired_ttl_seconds: Optional[int]` (query parameter)

  Desired TTL in seconds

- `expected_last_heartbeat: Optional[str]` (query parameter)

  Expected last_heartbeat for conditional update (optimistic concurrency). Use literal 'NO_HEARTBEAT' to claim an unclaimed lease (first heartbeat). For subsequent heartbeats, echo the server's previous last_heartbeat value exactly. Returns 412 Precondition Failed if the actual value doesn't match.

- `betas: Optional[List[AnthropicBetaParam]]` (header parameter)

  Optional header to specify the beta version(s) you want to use.
