Hello,
At some point i renamed my repository https://github.com/rokups/Urho3D to https://github.com/rokups/rbfx. I also renamed appveyor project, but it is still available under https://ci.appveyor.com/project/rokups/urho3d/ url. Is it possible to make project use https://ci.appveyor.com/project/rokups/rbfx url?

Thanks!

   Yes, you can use this REST API call.
   Here is a sample script.

   $token = '<your_appveyor_api_token>'
   $headers = @{
     "Authorization" = "Bearer $token"
     "Content-type" = "application/json"
   }
   
   $response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri 'https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/<your_account_name>/<current_project_slug>/settings' -Headers $headers -Method Get
   
   $response.settings.slug="<new_project_slug>"
   
   Invoke-RestMethod -Uri 'https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects' -Headers $headers -Method PUT -Body ($response.settings | convertto-json -depth 5)

   If i try suggested command it errors out about missing project. My project is already named rbfx, only url contains old slug. Screenshot attached.

   So your version of the script i offered contains,

   'https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/rokups/urho3d/settings' -Headers $headers -Method Get
   

   which gives an error?

   That is right. I copied token from https://ci.appveyor.com/api-keys and output i get is:
   

   Invoke-RestMethod : {"message":"Project not found or access denied."}
   At C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\rename.ps1:11 char:1
   + Invoke-RestMethod -Uri 'https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects' -Header ...

   Is it a v1 key (account specific - as in screenshot) or v2 key (all accounts)?

   I tried both keys which resulted in same error. However i noticed just now that url slug changed and i can now access project through https://ci.appveyor.com/project/rokups/rbfx URL. I assume you fixed it somehow, so thank you very much.

   Nope... i did nothing.

   Perhaps you made the request twice but didn't realize it the first time, so the second time it failed since there was no longer a matching slug?
