POST /api/notify/db/:id

Notification about a potential schema change to one of our Databases. Caller can optionally specify a :table_id or :table_name in the body to limit updates to a single Table. Optional Parameter :scan can be "full" or "schema" for a full sync or a schema sync, available regardless if a :table_id or :table_name is passed. This endpoint is secured by an API key that needs to be passed as a X-METABASE-APIKEY header which needs to be defined in the MB_API_KEY environment variable.
