Authorizations

​
Authorization
string
header
required

Prefix your API key with "Bearer ". Example: Authorization: Bearer sapi_key_...

Body

application/json

Post content and target accounts

​
first_comment
string

FirstComment is auto-posted as the first comment after publishing (Instagram, LinkedIn).

Example:

"Follow us for more updates!"

​
media_ids
string[]

MediaIDs are previously uploaded media file IDs to attach.

​
platform_data
object

PlatformData passes platform-specific fields keyed by platform name (e.g. {"instagram": {"content_type": "feed"}}). Folded into each matching target; a target's own platform_data wins on conflicts.

​
publish_now
boolean

PublishNow publishes immediately when targets are provided (ignores scheduled_at). Without this flag (and without scheduled_at) the post is saved as a draft; publish it later with POST /posts/{pid}/publish.

Example:

false

​
scheduled_at
string

ScheduledAt queues the post for future publication (RFC3339). When set, the post is scheduled rather than drafted.

Example:

"2026-04-01T10:00:00Z"

​
segments
object[]

Segments are continuation posts that publish as a native thread on X and Threads.

​
skip_duplicate_check
boolean

SkipDuplicateCheck bypasses the duplicate content detection.

Example:

false

​
skip_validation
boolean

SkipValidation bypasses pre-publish validation. The post is scheduled/published as-is and may fail at the platform.

Example:

false

​
targets
object[]

Targets specifies which connected accounts to publish to, with optional per-target overrides.

​
text
string

Text is the post body content. Required.

Example:

"Check out our new product launch! #newproduct"

​
title
string

Title is an optional post title (used by LinkedIn, Google).

Example:

"Exciting News from Acme Corp"

​
visibility
enum<string>

Visibility controls who can see the post. Platform-dependent values: public, private, connections_only, logged_in.

Available options:
public,
private,
connections_only,
logged_in
Example:

"public"

Response

All accounts published (sync) or post scheduled/drafted

​
created_at
string
Example:

"2026-03-14T09:00:00Z"
