Create post (publish immediately)

Facebook allows 30 API-published Reels per Page in a moving 24-hour window. A post whose platform_options.facebook.type is reel is refused when a selected Page is already at that limit (Reels published in the last 24 hours plus Reels already scheduled inside that window): 422 PLATFORM_DAILY_LIMIT_REACHED, with details carrying account_id, limit, used and next_available_at. Nothing is created. Check first with GET /social/accounts/{account_id}/facebook/reel-limit.

Requires scope social:write.

Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

API key from Developer dashboard (Bearer token).

Headers

X-Profile-Id

integer

Act inside a profile (sub-account) you own: data reads and writes target the profile workspace while billing, rate limits and usage stay on your own account. Requires the profiles:manage scope. Returns 404 for profiles you do not own and 409 for paused profiles.

X-Idempotency-Key

string

Client idempotency key (X-Request-Id accepted as an alias). Send a fresh key per logical post and REUSE it when retrying that exact call after a timeout / 5xx / connection reset: the retry returns the original post with HTTP 200 and idempotent_replay: true instead of creating a duplicate. A key permanently identifies its post in the workspace (deleting the post frees the key). See the Idempotency guide.

Maximum string length: 64

Pattern: ^[A-Za-z0-9._:-]{1,64}$

Body

application/json

content

string

required

Post text content

platforms

enum<string>[]

required

Target platforms. Use twitter for X and gmb for Google Business. telegram posts via the workspace's connected bot (created with @BotFather); discord posts via the connected server webhook. Both are connected in the dashboard's Social Accounts page.

Available options:

facebook,

instagram,

twitter,

linkedin,

youtube,

tiktok,

gmb,

threads,

bluesky,

tumblr,

telegram,

discord

account_ids

integer[]

required

IDs of connected social accounts to post to

media_urls

string[]

Media URLs to attach to the post

link

string

Destination URL for the post. Applied to the platforms that have a link field (currently Facebook); other selected platforms are reported back in data.warnings, so put the URL in the post text for those. On Facebook a text-only post renders it as a preview card; when media is attached Meta drops the parameter, so the URL is appended to the post text instead. A per-platform platform_options..link always takes precedence.

allow_duplicates

boolean

Skip the 24h duplicate-content guard. Without it, content identical to a post created in this workspace in the last 24 hours is rejected with 409 DUPLICATE_CONTENT (and the charge is refunded).

platform_options

object

Per-platform composer options - the same payload the web composer stores; publish handlers read it as-is (unknown keys are ignored, max 20KB). Keyed by platform, e.g. {"tiktok": {"privacy_level": "SELF_ONLY"}, "instagram": {"content": "IG-specific caption"}, "_thumbnail": {"timestamp_ms": 3000}}. Common keys: per-platform content override; tiktok privacy/duet/stitch options; _thumbnail custom video cover. See the Platform options guide for every key each platform accepts (privacy, flair, first comments, formatting, AI-disclosure flags, thumbnails and more).

Example:

{
  "tiktok": { "privacy_level": "PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE" },
  "instagram": { "content": "IG-flavored caption ✨" }
}
