Documented steps

  1. Auth: `Authorization: Bearer <API key>` from Render Dashboard Account Settings (https://api-docs.render.com/reference/authentication).
  2. POST https://api.render.com/v1/services/{serviceId}/deploys. Optional body: clearCache ('clear'|'do_not_clear' — 'clear' wipes the build cache first), commitId (deploy a specific git SHA; does NOT disable autodeploys), imageUrl (image-backed services; host/repository/name must match the service's existing image config), deployMode ('deploy_only'|'build_and_deploy') (https://api-docs.render.com/reference/create-deploy).
  3. 201/202 = deploy queued. Poll GET https://api.render.com/v1/services/{serviceId}/deploys — supports status array filter, createdBefore/After, updatedBefore/After, finishedBefore/After (ISO 8601), cursor + limit (1-100, default 20) (https://api-docs.render.com/reference/list-deploys).
  4. Stop polling when the latest deploy reaches a live/succeeded status; treat failed/canceled statuses as terminal.
