# Archive a job posting (preview→bind)

`POST /v1/job_postings/{job_posting_id}/actions/archive`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.yardstick.team`
- URL: `https://api.yardstick.team/v1/job_postings/{job_posting_id}/actions/archive`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Archive a job posting (preview→bind)

**Required scopes:** `job_postings:write`, `job_postings:archive`

Preview→bind flow. Calling without a `binding` returns HTTP 202 with the approval-required envelope (no mutation). To execute, re-issue with `binding` echoing the preview's `preview_hash`, `approved_action_key`, `approved_input_hash`, `approved_idempotency_key`, and `resource_version_precondition`. The `Idempotency-Key` must match between calls. Preview responses are not cached; bind responses are cached so retrying the bind under the same Idempotency-Key replays the original result without re-executing the mutation.

**Example (curl):**

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.yardstick.team/v1/job_postings/jp_abc123/actions/archive \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer ys_sk_live_…' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Idempotency-Key: 7c3a…' \
  -d '{}'
```

**Example (TypeScript):**

```ts
await fetch(
  "https://api.yardstick.team/v1/job_postings/jp_abc123/actions/archive",
  {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.YS_API_KEY}`,
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
      "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({}),
  },
).then((r) => r.json());
```

## Path parameters

- `job_posting_id` string, required

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string, required
- `X-Request-Id` string

## Request body

    - `approved_input_hash` string, required
    - `approved_idempotency_key` string, required
    - `resource_version_precondition` string, required

## Response `200`

Bind succeeded — job posting archived.

- JobPosting: Canonical job posting record. Status is derived from is_published / published_at / archived_at.
  - `id` string, required: Display id, e.g. `jp_<base32>`
  - `object` 'job_posting', required
  - `status` 'draft' | 'unpublished' | 'published' | 'archived', required: Derived from is_published / published_at / archived_at.
  - `title` string, nullable, required
  - `slug` string, required
  - `department` string, nullable, required
  - `location` string, nullable, required
  - `location_type` string, nullable, required
  - `location_country` string, nullable, required: Assigned ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code for the posting location. Drafts may be null; every new publish or republish requires a country, including remote roles.
  - `salary_min` number, nullable, required
  - `salary_max` number, nullable, required
  - `salary_currency` string, nullable, required
  - `salary_display` boolean, nullable, required
  - `description` string, nullable, required
  - `requirements` string, nullable, required
  - `custom_questions` unknown
  - `interview_plan_id` string, required: Display id of the bound interview plan (`ipd_<base32>`).
  - `is_published` boolean, required
  - `published_at` string, nullable, required: ISO-8601 UTC
  - `archived_at` string, nullable, required: ISO-8601 UTC
  - `public_url` string, nullable, required: Canonical public job board URL when published in live mode; uses PUBLIC_JOB_BOARD_BASE_URL with root jobs-board paths, falls back to PUBLIC_APP_BASE_URL with /careers paths, then defaults to https://jobs.yardstick.team. Null for drafts, archived postings, and test-mode postings.
  - `applications_count` integer, nullable, required: Application count populated on retrieve-by-id; null on list responses to bound query cost.
  - `livemode` boolean, required
  - `created_at` string, nullable, required: ISO-8601 UTC
  - `updated_at` string, nullable, required: ISO-8601 UTC

## Other responses

- `202`: Approval-required preview. Re-issue with `binding` echoing the listed fields to execute.
- `400`: Invalid request
- `401`: Authentication failure
- `403`: Permission denied (scope or feature flag)
- `404`: Resource not found. The error uses the resource-specific code and param names the exact body field or path parameter that referenced it.
- `409`: Conflict (e.g. idempotency key reuse with different body)
- `429`: Rate limited
