Retry to publish a post that failed with a `status` of `"error".` A retried post will be treated as a scheduled post, thus the final status can be obtained via the [/history](/apis/history/overview) endpoint or the [scheduled action webhook](/apis/webhooks/actions#scheduled-action).

While the post is being retried, the `status` will be `"pending"`. You may check on the status of the retry by calling the [GET post endpoint](/apis/post/get-post).

The post can be retried *only once*. Recommend to only use if the error message indicates a retry is possible.

<Note>
  When retrying a failed social media post, first verify that the post hasn't already been
  published. Social networks may sometimes report errors even when they've successfully processed
  and published the post.
</Note>

## Header Parameters

<HeaderAPI noProfileKey={false} />

## Body Parameters

<ParamField path="id" type="string" required>
  The top-level Ayrshare Post ID. The original post must have a status of "error".
</ParamField>
