# Share a preview

Requires `sites:write`. Costs no credits. Nothing is published.

The link shows one build, by default the newest ready build of the draft, for 7 days (1 to 30). Anyone with the link can see it without an account. It grants nothing else and is never indexed. Give it to the person who must approve the site before you publish.

```http
POST https://api.atelier201.com/v1/sites/{site_id}/previews
```

## Authorizations

- `Authorization` (bearer, in header, required)
