# Publish a version

`POST /templates/{ref}/publish`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.oveyon.com/v1`
- URL: `https://api.oveyon.com/v1/templates/{ref}/publish`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

No body: publishes the newest draft. `{"version": N}`: makes that version current (rollback included).

## Path parameters

- `ref` string, required

## Request body

- object
  - `version` integer: An integer ≥ 1 (a string of digits, e.g. "3", is accepted too). Anything else — true, [3], "0x3", 1.5 — is 400 bad_request, never a guess.

## Response `200`

Published

- TemplatePublished
  - `id` integer, required
  - `name` string, required
  - `version` integer, required: The version that is now current.
  - `status` 'published', required

## Other responses

- `400`: bad_request — `version` is not an integer ≥ 1
- `401`: Missing or invalid API key.
- `403`: Insufficient scope (`insufficient_scope`, with `required` and `have`), a scope the key holds but cannot use while its human-approval lock is on (`scope_blocked_by_approval_lock`, with `required` — approve:holds, write:send-policies, manage:webhooks, write:inbound, write:templates, write:surveys, write:domains, write:contacts), API key switched off by its owner in the panel (`key_disabled` — the key is valid; turn it back on or use another one, do not rotate), sending disabled, account suspended (`account_suspended`) or unknown (`account_unknown`), or the key used from an IP outside its allowed ranges (`ip_not_allowed`, with the `allowed` list — see /v1/credentials/ip-rules). 403 is not a limit: do not retry.
- `404`: template_not_found (or that version does not exist)
- `409`: template_no_draft — no body and no draft to publish
- `413`: payload_too_large — the request body exceeds this route's limit (`limit`, in bytes: 25 MB unless the operation says otherwise). The key is validated before the body is read: without a valid key the answer is 401/403 and the body is not read. Do not retry the same body.
- `415`: unsupported_media_type — send the body as `application/json` (form and plain-text bodies are not accepted).
- `429`: Per-key limit (`rate_limited`, 600 requests/min by default per API key — or per MCP OAuth connection —, from any IP), per-IP limit for requests WITHOUT a valid credential (`rate_limited`, 600/min by default), too many unknown or malformed credentials from your address (`too_many_auth_failures`, 20/min by default, counted per IPv4 address or per IPv6 /48; a missing `Authorization`, an expired OAuth token or a disabled key do not count, and anything without the shape of one of our keys counts without being checked; from an address over that limit a valid key still gets through within 120 credential checks/min, and above them every credential not validated in the last 5 minutes gets this 429 until the minute turns) — all checked before the route, on every operation —, account quota (`quota_exceeded` with `window`, `used`, `limit`), warmup cap (`warmup_cap_reached`) or saturation (`queue_full`). Honor `Retry-After` with exponential backoff and jitter.
- `500`: internal_error — an unexpected failure on our side. The detail stays in our logs, never in the body. Retry reads; retry a write only when it is idempotent or carries an idempotency key.
- `503`: ip_rules_unavailable — the IP ranges bound to your key could not be checked right now (caution, not a denial). Retry after `Retry-After` (30 s).
