# Schedule or publish a draft with the PostEverywhere API

Turns a draft into a live scheduled/publishing post: flips the post to
`scheduled`, clears draft data, and creates one queued destination per
account. Provide either `scheduled_for` (at least 1 minute in the
future) or `publish_now: true` (queued to fire within ~1 scheduler
cycle). `account_ids` overrides the draft's saved targets; required if
the draft has none. Non-drafts return `409 not_a_draft` — use
`PATCH /posts/{id}` to move an already-scheduled post.
Plan post limits are enforced here
(`429 post_limit_reached` / `daily_limit_reached`).
