# Publish now

> Publish now: POST /v1/posts/:id/publish-now. Takes the pending items out of the queue and publishes them now (?network= limits it to one network).

Source: https://praeko.app/docs/en/api/posts/publish-now

`POST /v1/posts/:id/publish-now` · minimum scope: write

Takes the pending items out of the queue and publishes them now (`?network=` limits it to one network).

> **Headers** `Authorization: Bearer praeko_…` and `X-Praeko-Contract: en`. Always send both.

Legacy Portuguese alias (still answered, marked as deprecated): `/v1/posts/:id/publicar-agora`.

## Parameters

| Name | In | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `id` | path | Post id. |
| `network` | query | Publish only the items of this network. Values: youtube, instagram, tiktok. |
| `Idempotency-Key` | header | Idempotency key (1 to 255 visible characters, for example a UUID). Repeating the SAME request with the same key within 24 h returns the stored response (with `Idempotent-Replayed: true`) without running it again; a different request with the same key returns 422 `idempotency_key_reuse`; a request still in progress returns 409 `idempotency_in_progress`. 5xx errors are not stored. The key is scoped per workspace and per route. See [Retry a request safely](https://praeko.app/docs/en/guides/idempotency). |

}
```

Returns the post with the item already out of the queue (`runAt` is now); publishing happens right after. Use `?network=` to release just one item.

## Errors

| Status | code | When |
|---|---|---|
| 422 | `idempotency_key_reuse` | The `Idempotency-Key` was already used with a different request (different method, path, query or body). |
| 409 | `idempotency_in_progress` | A request with the same `Idempotency-Key` is still in progress (retry in a moment). |
| 409 | `idempotency_response_too_large` | The original response was larger than 256 KB and was not stored; fetch the resource with GET instead. |

### Errors on any route

| Status | code | When |
|---|---|---|
| 401 | `unauthorized` | The `Authorization: Bearer …` header is missing. |
| 401 | `invalid_api_key` | The key does not exist. |
| 401 | `revoked_api_key` | The key has been revoked. |
| 401 | `expired_api_key` | The key has expired. |
| 403 | `forbidden` | The key's scope is not enough for this route (see the scope badge). |
| 429 | `rate_limited` | The per-minute request limit was exceeded. |

The body of every error is `{ "error": { "code", "message", "details"? } }`. See [all error codes](https://praeko.app/docs/en/guides/errors-and-limits).
