When a user publishes content in the partner's platform, then the partner will make an API request to syndicate the content to Nextdoor. This API will create the article if one for the specified guid does not already exist in Nextdoor's system, or overwrite it for updates.

News Articles on Nextdoor receive greater distribution and ranking than typical user generated content. However, this means we hold news articles to a more stringent level of checks. In order to do this, Nextdoor runs ML models on article content in order to determine its distribution and ranking. Providing full article content is the best way to ensure your article gets turned into a post. Nextdoor never uses this content for display purposes.
