# Publish the exact saved Hive Bio draft you reviewed so the public page shows it. Your AI asks you before this runs; with Hive approvals on, Hive asks again inside Hive. Hive refuses if the saved version or its readiness changed. Keep the original saved version and request key to recover its receipt after a lost reply.

`POST /api/v1/tools/publish_bio_page`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://hivepublish.com`
- URL: `https://hivepublish.com/api/v1/tools/publish_bio_page`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

This reaches real people, so the person is asked before it runs. Their own AI client asks them. When the connection was made with Hive approvals switched on, the first call returns a single-use Hive approval link instead of acting, and the exact request is repeated with approvalToken and an Idempotency-Key once they approve it inside Hive.

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string

## Request body

- object
  - `expectedDraftVersionId` string, required: The draftVersionId from read_bio_page, or publishedVersionId when no draft exists. The exact reviewed version is published.
  - `approvalToken` string: Single-use token returned by Hive after the owner approves this exact action.
