Workflow

When the user asks to create or schedule a post:

Always call GET /accounts first to get the user's connected accounts and their IDs
Match the user's requested platform(s) to the account IDs returned
If the user doesn't specify a platform, ask which one(s) they want
If the user wants to schedule, convert their time to ISO 8601 UTC format
Create the post with the appropriate parameters

When the user asks about analytics or post performance:

Call the analytics endpoints with the appropriate platform
Present the data in a clear, readable format

API Reference

GET /accounts

List all connected social media accounts. Always call this first before creating posts.

bash

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $POSTHERO_API_KEY" \
  https://server.posthero.ai/api/v1/accounts

Response:

json

{
  "success": true,
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "abc123",
      "platform": "linkedin",
      "name": "John Doe",
      "avatar": "https://...",
      "type": "personal"
    },
    {
      "id": "def456",
      "platform": "twitter",
      "name": "@johndoe",
      "avatar": "https://..."
    }
  ]
}

Use the id field as accountId when creating posts.

POST /posts

Create a post. Can be a draft, scheduled, or published immediately.

bash

curl -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $POSTHERO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "text": "My post content here...",
    "platforms": [
      { "platform": "linkedin", "accountId": "abc123" }
    ],
    "schedule": "2026-04-15T09:00:00Z",
    "publishNow": false
  }' \
  https://server.posthero.ai/api/v1/posts

Request body:

Field	Type	Required	Description
`text`	string	Yes	The post content
`platforms`	array	Yes	Array of `{ platform, accountId }` objects
`schedule`	string	No	ISO 8601 UTC datetime. Omit for draft
`publishNow`	boolean	No	Set `true` to publish immediately
`isThread`	boolean	No	Informational only. Threading is auto-detected per platform from `\n\n\n` (triple newline) separators in each platform's text — you don't need to set this.
`platformContent`	object	No	Per-platform text overrides (see below)
`media`	object	No	Media attachments (see below)
`isAutoPlug`	boolean	No	LinkedIn-only. Schedule a chain of comments on the user's own LinkedIn post after publish (see Auto-plug below)
`autoPlug`	array	No	Comments to schedule when `isAutoPlug` is `true`. Each entry: `{ comment, delay, image? }`

Behavior:

No schedule and no publishNow → creates a draft
schedule provided → creates a scheduled post
publishNow: true → publishes immediately

Platform content overrides (optional per-platform text):

The top-level text field is the canonical default for every platform. Set platformContent.<platform>.text only when you need a different copy for that specific platform — providing the override automatically marks that platform as unsynced and leaves all other platforms reading the top-level text. This includes LinkedIn: send platformContent.linkedin.text for a LinkedIn-specific version, and the top-level text stays untouched for the rest.

json

{
  "platformContent": {
    "twitter": { "text": "Short tweet version" },
    "linkedin": { "text": "Longer LinkedIn version with #hashtags" },
    "bluesky": { "text": "Bluesky-specific text" },
    "threads": { "text": "Threads version" },
    "facebook": { "text": "Facebook version" },
    "instagram": {
      "text": "Instagram caption",
      "contentType": "feed"
    },
    "youtube": {
      "text": "Video description",
      "title": "My Video Title",
      "tags": ["tag1", "tag2"],
      "privacy": "public",
      "videoType": "long"
    },
    "tiktok": {
      "text": "TikTok caption",
      "privacyLevel": "PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE",
      "allowComments": true,
      "allowDuet": true,
      "allowStitch": true
    }
  }
}

Media attachments (optional):

json

{
  "media": {
    "images": ["https://s3-url-1", "https://s3-url-2"],
    "video": "https://s3-video-url",
    "carousel": "https://s3-pdf-url"
  }
}

Use URLs returned by the media upload endpoint. Up to 4 images, or 1 video, or 1 carousel PDF.

Threads: Threading is auto-detected per platform from \n\n\n (triple newline) separators in each platform's text. No isThread flag needed.

Works for Twitter (280 chars/tweet), Bluesky (300 chars/post), and Threads (500 chars/post).
Each platform threads independently. To thread on X but post a single long-form on LinkedIn, put \n\n\n only in platformContent.twitter.text and leave LinkedIn's text without separators.

Example — thread on X, single long-form on LinkedIn, from one post:

json

{
  "platforms": [
    { "platform": "linkedin", "accountId": "abc123" },
    { "platform": "twitter", "accountId": "def456" }
  ],
  "platformContent": {
    "linkedin": {
      "text": "Long LinkedIn post. Multiple paragraphs fine — no triple newlines, so this stays as a single post."
    },
    "twitter": {
      "text": "Tweet 1 — hook.\n\n\nTweet 2 — context.\n\n\nTweet 3 — CTA."
    }
  }
}

Auto-plug (LinkedIn comments): schedule follow-up comments on the user's own LinkedIn post after it publishes. Useful for "drop the link in the first comment" patterns, follow-up CTAs, or thread-style replies. LinkedIn only — other platforms ignore these fields.

Set isAutoPlug: true.
Provide autoPlug as an array of { comment, delay, image? } entries.
delay is in milliseconds. The first entry fires that long after the post publishes; each subsequent entry fires that long after the previous comment.
image is optional — pass any HTTPS URL (or one returned by /media/upload).
After each comment posts, the entry gets a commentIdOnPlatform field on subsequent GETs.

Example — publish a LinkedIn post with two follow-up comments:

json

{
  "text": "Just shipped our new API! Excited to see what people build with it.",
  "platforms": [{ "platform": "linkedin", "accountId": "abc123" }],
  "isAutoPlug": true,
  "autoPlug": [
    {
      "comment": "Docs are here: https://posthero.ai/docs/api",
      "delay": 60000
    },
    {
      "comment": "Reply or DM if you hit anything weird — happy to help.",
      "delay": 180000
    }
  ],
  "publishNow": true
}

Response:

json

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "id": "post_abc123",
    "status": "scheduled",
    "text": "My post content here...",
    "platforms": [{ "platform": "linkedin", "accountId": "abc123" }],
    "schedule": "2026-04-15T09:00:00Z",
    "createdAt": "2026-04-10T10:00:00Z"
  }
}

Important Notes

Always call GET /accounts first to get account IDs before creating posts
Times must be ISO 8601 UTC format (e.g. 2026-04-15T09:00:00Z)
When the user says a time like "tomorrow at 9am", convert to UTC based on context
For cross-posting to multiple platforms, include all platform/accountId pairs in the platforms array
Threading is auto-detected per platform from \n\n\n (triple newline) separators in the platform's text — respect per-platform character limits
Media URLs must come from the /media/upload endpoint (S3 URLs)
DELETE only removes from PostHero, not from the social media platform
