# Publish

## Upload code

The last step, after [developing](https://dev.ubidots.com/apps/pages/development) the page code and [creating](https://dev.ubidots.com/apps/pages/api/page-creation) the entity in Ubidots, is to upload the code to the Page, in ZIP format, so it is publicly available and it can be served from Ubidots. 

Follow the below steps:

1. Compress the files from the [Development section](https://dev.ubidots.com/apps/pages/development), in ZIP format, from the root of the file structure, not the parent folder.
2. Make the below HTTP request. Be sure to replace `<page_id>`,  `<YOUR_TOKEN>` and `<path_to_zip>` as needed.

```bash
curl -X POST 'https://industrial.api.ubidots.com/api/v2.0/pages/<page_id>/code' \
-H 'X-Auth-Token: <YOUR_TOKEN>' \
-F "zipFile=@<path_to_zip>.zip;type=application/zip"
```

You should get this response:

```json
{
  "message": "File successfully uploaded."
}
```

{% hint style="warning" %}
The ZIP file is limited to a maximum of 5MB&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## Load code

Once the page is created and the code uploaded to it, it's only a matter to serving the Page from and Ubidots Dashboard. To do so:

1. Create a dashboard whose type is set to Custom<br>

   <figure><img src="https://884329393-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MhzNRg0B4ECiNXc093G%2Fuploads%2Fa8whxrKvZihwIDcsmIT1%2FDashboard%20type%20custom.png?alt=media&#x26;token=6e2dde45-3175-4e48-80a8-3e75c6ab9524" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
2. In the "Custom page URL" field, enter the following URL after replacing \<page\_id> with your respective Page id\
   \
   `https://industrial.ubidots.com/app/pages/public/<page_id>`\
   \
   This URL is Ubidots format to expose your custom code through an URL that can be loaded from a Dashboard.&#x20;
