Publishing a File until a Specific Time

To publish a file until a specific time, use the publishBodyExpiresAt() method as shown in the following sample code. This code publishes a file until December 31, 2099. Specify a time with the Date() method.

// Assume that the KiiObject "object" has been instantiated.

// Set the expiration time of the URL.
var expiresAt = new Date(2099, 12, 31);

// Publish the KiiObject.
object.publishBodyExpiresAt(expiresAt).then(
  function(params) {
    var theObject = params[0];
    var publishedUrl = params[1];
    // Do something.
  }
).catch(
  function(error) {
    var theObject = error.target;
    var errorString = error.message;
    // Handle the error.
  }
);

// Assume that the KiiObject "object" has been instantiated.

// Set the expiration time of the URL.
var expiresAt = new Date(2099, 12, 31);

// Publish the KiiObject.
object.publishBodyExpiresAt(expiresAt, {
  success: function(theObject, publishedUrl) {
    // Do something.
  },
  failure: function(theObject, errorString) {
    // Handle the error.
  }
});

The basic steps are as follows:

Upload the file as an object body.
Publish the file with the publishBodyExpiresAt() method.

Note that a user needs to be permitted the KiiACLObjectActionRead action on a KiiObject to publish its object body (Once published, anyone can access the object body with the URL). See Setting a KiiObject's ACL for more information about the access rights.
