Trying to use the open cloud API to publish an .rbxl file. Used a curl command to test the API after getting strange results with community tool rbxcloud.
Command:
curl.exe --verbose --location POST 'https://apis.roblox.com/universes/v1/[game id]/places/[place id]/versions?versionType=Published' --header 'x-api-key: [api key]' --header 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' --data-binary '@game.rbxl'
(For my privacy, game id, place id, and API key are redacted. However, I have checked each of them numerous times from numerous sources on the website and in studio, and can guarantee that they are correct.)
Output:

According to the documentation, a 409 error means that the place is not part of the universe. I guarantee that the IDs are correct, the API key is correct, and that the API key has the correct permissions. Using rbxcloud instead of a direct curl command also results in a “place not part of universe” error.
Expected behavior
This should just work. The IDs are correct.
