# Existence check for a blob by blake3 hash

> `200` if the calling account can mint from this blob, `404` otherwise. Same account-scoping as `from-hash`; lets a client decide between the dedup fast-path and a full upload before sending bytes. A refusal answers its status with no body, so a `403`'s code is not readable here.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi-v2.yaml head /api/v2/assets/by-hash/{hash}
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Comfy API v2
  version: 2.0.0
  description: |
    The official, versioned HTTP API for running ComfyUI workflows from
    external applications: upload inputs, submit a workflow, observe
    execution, retrieve results.

    Design principles:
    - **Poll-first.** Every capability is reachable via plain GET polling;
      the SSE stream is a live enhancement, never the source of truth.
    - **Everything is resumable.** Submission is idempotent; job state and
      outputs are retrievable by ID until `expires_at`.
    - **UUID identity, content-addressed dedup.** Assets are UUID-identified
      records over blobs keyed by a server-computed blake3 hash. The hash is
      nullable and may be computed lazily.
    - **Follow links, don't build URLs.** Responses embed follow-up URLs.

    Additive changes only within v2; breaking changes require v3.

        `rate_limited` — the caller has exceeded a request rate limit for this
        account. Account/rate-scoped, not resource-specific — this can be

        `upstream_error` — an unexpected failure reaching or processing the

        a generic, safe-to-display string; implementation detail (the specific
        upstream, its error text, transport failures) is never included here —
        see each implementation's own error-mapping notes. Every operation in
        this contract can fail this way.

    ErrorEnvelope:
      type: object
      description: >
        Shared error envelope with machine-readable codes. Core codes (v1):

        `invalid_workflow` (422), `workflow_format_ui` (422),

        `missing_asset` (422), `hash_mismatch` (409), `blob_not_found`

        (404), `idempotency_key_reuse` (422),

        `queue_full` (429 + Retry-After), `rate_limited` (429 + Retry-After:

        the caller is past a request rate limit; retry), `insufficient_credits`

        (402), `not_found` (404), `unauthorized` (401), `forbidden` (403).

        Deployment-scoped surfaces add: `deployment_not_ready` (429 +

        Retry-After — the deployment can still reach ready; retry),

        `deployment_unavailable` (429 + Retry-After: the deployment is ready

        but its GPU provider is not taking work on it yet; retry),

        `deployment_stopped` (422 — terminal deployment state; a retry

        cannot succeed without operator action), `invalid_request` (422:

        a malformed asset upload or asset-from-hash field), `content_blocked`
        (451:

        content moderation flagged the asset's bytes) and `sso_required` (403:

        the key is valid, but the account must sign in through its

        organization's single sign-on, which does not accept this key). A 429 is
        disambiguated

        by `error.code` alone; clients should treat any 429 + Retry-After

        as "back off and retry".

                `node_errors`, that is keyed by node id and each value is a

  securitySchemes:
    bearerAuth:

      description: >-
        `Authorization: Bearer <credential>`. The credential is one of: an
        account-scoped API key (`comfyui-…`), accepted on Cloud and serverless;
        a Comfy Cloud session JWT; or an OAuth access token issued for the Comfy
        Cloud resource. Which kinds a given deployment accepts is deployment
        configuration — an API key always works on Cloud and serverless, and a
        deployment that does not accept JWT bearers answers `401` with a message
        saying so. Self-hosted accepts unauthenticated requests by default and
        can be configured with a static bearer token.
