We would like to be able to call from our middleware the endpoint /websked/stories/pitches/publications.
It is currently not exposed and as a result we cannot use it.
Use-case that needs it : currently in order to send a story to print CMS, our users do a publication pitch and then update publication pitch to Booked. This update creates a WebSked webhook which triggers our middleware to fetch the story and send it to print CMS.
Our users would like to avoid the 2-step process and that story is sent upon publication pitch directly.
In order to have all information we need to send story to the print (and minimize our development efforts), we were thinking about the following process:
user makes a publication pitch
our middleware received a WebSked webhook for the publication pitch
upon reception of publication pitch, the middleware calls the /websked/stories/pitches/publications endpoint to update the pitch status
the publication pitch update to Booked creates a new webhook
this new webhook triggers our middleware to fetch story and send it to print CMS
Thus, we leverage on our current integration and the publication pitch status of stories sent to print remains Booked.

Hello all,
I'm writing to give you an update on this Idea. We are researching now all of the security and scaling concerns we have to contend with to open up this endpoint.
In the meantime, would you share additional use cases you have where you need access to an existing WebSked API?
Thanks!
Stuart
Hi All,
Thanks for sharing the details on this. We are looking hard at this because, unfortunately, it's more difficult than it sounds. Mostly because this opens security issues that we must handle properly.
If we have not already discussed this in person, please reach out to your TAM so we can schedule time to discuss the options.
Thanks,
Stuart Ridgway
Sr. Product Manager for WebSked
We are also looking for this endpoint to be exposed so that we can send stories to our print CMS from middleware we are building in Airtable.
