# Unlock requests


```
POST 
https://api.apify.com/v2/request-queues/:queueId/requests/unlock
```


Unlocks requests in the queue that are currently locked by the client.

* If the client is within an Actor run, it unlocks all requests locked by that specific run plus all requests locked by the same clientKey.
* If the client is outside of an Actor run, it unlocks all requests locked using the same clientKey.

## Request

### Path Parameters

* **queueId** string required

  Queue ID or `username~queue-name`.

  **Example:** `WkzbQMuFYuamGv3YF`

### Query Parameters

* **clientKey** string

  A unique identifier of the client accessing the request queue. It must be a string between 1 and 32 characters long. This identifier is used to determine whether the queue was accessed by multiple clients. If `clientKey` is not provided, the system considers this API call to come from a new client. For details, see the `hadMultipleClients` field returned by the  operation.

  **Example:** `client-abc`
