Implementation Reference

index.js:521-539 (handler)

The main handler function `publishBlogPost` that takes headers and arguments, constructs a data object with `publishedAt` set to current ISO timestamp if publish is true or null otherwise, performs a PUT request to the Strapi API endpoint for the specific blog post document, and returns the response data as text.

async publishBlogPost (headers, args) {
  const data = {
    publishedAt: args.publish ? new Date().toISOString() : null
  }

  // Strapi 5 uses documentId for single document operations
  const response = await axios.put(
    `${this.strapiUrl}/content-manager/collection-types/api::blog-post.blog-post/${args.document_id}`,
    data,
    { headers }
  )

  return {
    content: [{
      type: 'text',
      text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2)
    }]
  }
}
