  'https://cms.thepublive.com/publisher/<PUBLISHER_ID>/post/' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "title": "Drug Safety Update - Product XYZ",
    "english_title": "Drug Safety Update - Product XYZ",
    "type": "Article",
    "status": "Draft",
    "primary_category": 300,
    "content": "<p>Updated safety information for Product XYZ...</p>",
    "meta_data": {"access_type": "Paid", "compliance_level": "restricted"}
  }'

​
2. Medical Review (Submit for Approval)

curl -X PATCH \
  'https://cms.thepublive.com/publisher/<PUBLISHER_ID>/post/<POST_ID>/' \
  -H 'Authorization: Basic <BASE64_AUTH_TOKEN>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"status": "Approval Pending"}'

​
3. Regulatory Approval (Compliance Officer)

curl -X PATCH \
  'https://cms.thepublive.com/publisher/<PUBLISHER_ID>/post/<POST_ID>/' \
  -H 'Authorization: Basic <BASE64_AUTH_TOKEN>' \

Content organization

​
Best practices

  1. Enforce Approval Pending for all content before publication
  2. Use meta_data to tag compliance classifications
  3. Maintain separate API keys for writers, reviewers, and publishers
  4. Use scheduled_at for coordinated release of regulatory content
  5. Track seo_keyphrase for medical terminology accuracy
