# Business Apply

`POST /v1/business/apply`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.storyflo.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.storyflo.com/v1/business/apply`
- Auth: none declared

Public apply-form endpoint. Anyone can POST here — we file a
pending PublisherApplication row + ping the operator via Telegram +
notification email. Does NOT auto-opt-in; operator reviews via
``GET /v1/admin/publisher-applications`` then promotes via
``POST /v1/admin/publisher-applications/{id}/approve``.

Idempotent on the (contact_email, publication_name) pair within a
24h window — re-submissions return the existing pending row instead
of cluttering the inbox.
