});
const { id: postId } = await curviate.drafts.publish(draftId);Parameters

Returns
Resolves to DraftPublishResult. Top-level fields: object, id, safety_warning.
Error codes
| Code | What it means, and what to do |
|---|---|
UNAUTHORIZED | The API key is missing, malformed, or revoked. Check the key you passed to the client. |
INVALID_REQUEST | A parameter failed validation. The message names the offending field; fix the request rather than retrying it. |
RATE_LIMIT_ACCOUNT | This account's own quota is exhausted. Wait for the window in the Retry-After header, then retry. |
RATE_LIMIT_TENANT | The tenant-wide quota is exhausted across all accounts. Slow the whole workload, not just this call. |
PLATFORM_RATE_LIMIT | LinkedIn is throttling this account. Back off well beyond the hinted delay; sustained pressure risks the account. |
PLATFORM_ERROR | An upstream failure, usually transient: retry once with backoff before treating it as a real error. Check the response first, though. When it carries retry_likely_to_succeed: false and retry_hint: {kind: "never"}, retrying cannot help and backing off only delays the real answer. |
ACCOUNT_REQUIRED | Publishing or scheduling needs an account on the Draft (and account_id: null on a scheduled Draft is refused). Set account_id first, or unschedule before clearing it. |
DRAFT_NOT_PUBLISHABLE | The Draft has a content gap, such as empty text; the message names the field. Fix it, then publish or schedule again. |
DRAFT_PUBLISHING | A publish of this Draft is in flight, or its outcome is still being settled. Read the Draft again in a few seconds; if the message says to check the account's posts first, do that before retrying. |
NO_ACTIVE_SEAT | The targeted account is not on an active seat. Buy or attach a seat in Billing, then retry. |
RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND | The id in the path does not exist, or is not visible to this account. Re-read it from the list endpoint that produced it. |
Every code above is a stable CurviateError.code you can branch on. The full list, the response envelope, and retry semantics are in the Error codes reference.
