POST/v1/blogs/{subdomain}/posts/{id}/publish

Publish a post

Makes a post visible. This is the only effect: no newsletter is sent and no cross-posting is triggered (those are separate, explicit actions).

A future publishedAt schedules the post: it stays hidden and is published at 00:00 UTC that day. Defaults to today when omitted. Publishing an already-published post is a no-op, and a future date on it is refused. Publishing a scheduled post without a date publishes it now.

Parameters

idpathstringrequired

Request body

application/json

publishedAtstring (date)optional
Publication date (ISO 8601). A future date schedules the post, published at 00:00 UTC that day. Defaults to today when omitted.
