# Extend preview expiry

POST https://api.runtype.com/v1/assets/{assetId}/extend
Content-Type: application/json

Re-up a preview page's expiration, keeping the same URL. Defaults to the caller's current plan TTL; pass `expiresInSeconds` to choose a shorter lifetime (the plan TTL is a hard ceiling — longer requests are clamped). Works on live previews and on previews that have already expired (expired pages keep their stored content; only serving is blocked). Applies to preview-rendering assets created by `publish_page` — download assets are not time-gated at the serving layer and cannot be extended.

Reference: https://docs.runtype.com/api-reference/runtype-api/assets/extend-preview-expiry

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — API key or Clerk session token

## Servers

- `https://api.runtype.com` (Production, default)
- `https://api.runtype-staging.com` (Staging)

## Request

### Path parameters

- `assetId` (string, required) — Asset ID (e.g. "asset_01k…"). A trailing file extension (".html") is ignored.

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects an object.

- `expiresInSeconds` (double, optional) — New lifetime in seconds (positive integer). Capped at the plan's preview TTL — shorter is honored, longer is clamped. Omit for the plan default.

## Response

### 200

Expiry extended

- `assetId` (string, required) — The asset ID that was extended.
- `expiresAt` (string, required, nullable) — New expiration timestamp (ISO 8601). null = permanent (plan grants no-expiry previews).
- `expiresIn` (double, required, nullable) — Seconds until the new expiration. null = permanent.
- `rendering` (enum, required)
  - Allowed values: `preview`
- `url` (string, required) — The public URL of the asset (unchanged by extension).
