# Make a discovered account AvatarFactory Verified. Admin only.

`POST /api/v1/admin/followed/{account_id}/promote`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.avatarfactory.io` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.avatarfactory.io/api/v1/admin/followed/{account_id}/promote`
- Auth: one of:
  - API key in cookie `session`
  - HTTP bearer

<br/>The same row flips `is_global`, so the reels, the scan history and the<br/>discovery evidence all survive; the action is written to `audit_log`.<br/>404 when there is no discovered account with that id (a Verified or<br/>personal account is not something this route promotes), 409 when it has<br/>already been promoted, so a double click is never a silent second write.

## Path parameters

- `account_id` integer, required

## Response `200`

OK

- PromoteAccountResponse
  - `account` PromotedAccountSummary, required
    - `discovery_count` integer
    - `discovery_source` string, nullable
    - `id` integer, required
    - `is_global` boolean
    - `username` string, required
  - `ok` boolean

## Other responses

- `404`: Not Found
- `409`: Conflict
- `422`: Unprocessable Entity
