# Take a site offline

`POST /api/v1/sites/{id}/unpublish`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://app.blueticked.com`
- URL: `https://app.blueticked.com/api/v1/sites/{id}/unpublish`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Flip a published site back to draft. Every hostname stops serving once caches clear.

The safe direction, so plain `sites:write` suffices (and the agent Prepare profile includes it).

The published schema is kept, so re-publishing later is instant.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Response `200`

Success

- object
  - `site` object, required
    - `id` string, uuid, required
    - `business_id` string, uuid, required

    - `status` string, required
    - `published_at` string, date-time, required
    - `created_at` string, date-time, required
    - `updated_at` string, date-time, required
    - `primary_domain` string, nullable, required
    - `public_url` string, required
