# Publish a data block version

POST

/v1/blocks

```sh
curl --request POST \
  --url https://example.com/v1/blocks \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{ "projectId": "2489E9AD-2EE2-8E00-8EC9-32D5F69181C0", "id": "example", "version": "example", "kind": "prompt", "description": "example", "content": { "template": "example", "parameters": [ { "name": "example", "description": "example", "type": "string", "required": true, "default": "example" } ] } }'
```

Needs `write` on the project. A prompt’s template must parse as Liquid; a settings block’s `values` must satisfy its `schema` and the latest version’s. A taken version is `409 block-already-registered` (versions never change); a block keeps its kind, and its versions stay in its first version’s project, or another project of that project’s environment order (`409 block-project-mismatch`). A later environment of an order takes no publishes (`409 environment-takes-promotions`). Idempotency-Key applies.

## Parameters

### Header Parameters

**Idempotency-Key**

string

\>= 1 characters

Caller-supplied idempotency key, scoped to the caller: the same key from someone else in the tenant is their own request (from 0.1.5). Retries with the same key return the original response byte-identical (per `docs/API-ROUTE-CONVENTIONS.md` §3.1). A retry sent while the first request still runs is answered `409 idempotency-key-in-flight` with `Retry-After`, on a runtime whose store holds keys (from 0.1.5); retry after it, and you get the first request’s answer. An answer that carries a secret (a new API key or public run token, a session token, a generated signing secret) isn’t kept: a retry gets `409 idempotency-key-replay-withheld`, with the first request’s status and when it succeeded (from 0.1.5).
