# AdaptlyPost

Schedule social media posts across 9 platforms from one API. SaaS — no self-hosting needed.

## Setup

1. Sign up at https://app.adaptlypost.com/register
2. Go to Settings → API Tokens → generate an API token
3. Set the environment variable:
   ```bash
   export ADAPTLYPOST_API_KEY="adaptly_your-token-here"
   ```

Base URL: `https://post.adaptlypost.com/post/api/v1`
Auth header: `Authorization: Bearer $ADAPTLYPOST_API_KEY`

## Core Workflow

### 1. List connected accounts

```bash
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADAPTLYPOST_API_KEY" \
  https://post.adaptlypost.com/post/api/v1/social-accounts
```

Returns `{ "accounts": [{ "id", "platform", "displayName", "username", "avatarUrl" }] }`. Save the `id` — you'll use it as a connection ID when creating posts.

### 2. Publish a post immediately (no scheduling)

To publish right away, simply **omit `scheduledAt` entirely** and do NOT set `saveAsDraft`:

```bash
curl -X POST https://post.adaptlypost.com/post/api/v1/social-posts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADAPTLYPOST_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "platforms": ["TWITTER"],
    "contentType": "TEXT",
    "text": "This goes live right now!",
    "timezone": "America/New_York",
    "twitterConnectionIds": ["CONNECTION_ID_HERE"]
  }'
```

**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT set `scheduledAt` to a time in the near future as a workaround. Omitting `scheduledAt` is the correct way to publish immediately.

Returns `{ "postId", "queuedPlatforms", "skippedPlatforms", "isScheduled", "scheduledAt" }`.

**Important**: You must include the correct `*ConnectionIds` array for each platform in `platforms`. For example, if posting to Instagram and Twitter, include both `instagramConnectionIds` and `twitterConnectionIds`. For Facebook, use `pageIds` instead.

### 3. Schedule a text post for later

```bash
curl -X POST https://post.adaptlypost.com/post/api/v1/social-posts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADAPTLYPOST_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "platforms": ["TWITTER"],
    "contentType": "TEXT",
    "text": "Your post text here",
    "timezone": "America/New_York",
    "scheduledAt": "2026-06-15T10:00:00.000Z",
    "twitterConnectionIds": ["CONNECTION_ID_HERE"]
  }'
```

### 4. Save a post as draft (no scheduling)

Same as scheduling, but set `saveAsDraft: true` and omit `scheduledAt`:

```bash
curl -X POST https://post.adaptlypost.com/post/api/v1/social-posts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADAPTLYPOST_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "platforms": ["INSTAGRAM"],
    "contentType": "TEXT",
    "text": "Draft post to review later",
    "timezone": "Europe/London",
    "saveAsDraft": true,
    "instagramConnectionIds": ["CONNECTION_ID_HERE"]
  }'
```

### 5. Schedule a post with media (3-step flow)

**Step A** — Get presigned upload URLs:

```bash
curl -X POST https://post.adaptlypost.com/post/api/v1/upload-urls \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADAPTLYPOST_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "files": [{ "fileName": "photo.jpg", "mimeType": "image/jpeg" }] }'
```

Returns `{ "urls": [{ "fileName", "uploadUrl", "publicUrl", "key", "expiresAt" }] }`.

**Step B** — Upload file to storage:

```bash
curl -X PUT "UPLOAD_URL_HERE" \
  -H "Content-Type: image/jpeg" \
  --data-binary @/path/to/photo.jpg
```

**Step C** — Create post with the public URL:

```bash
curl -X POST https://post.adaptlypost.com/post/api/v1/social-posts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADAPTLYPOST_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "platforms": ["INSTAGRAM"],
    "contentType": "IMAGE",
    "text": "Post with image!",
    "mediaUrls": ["PUBLIC_URL_FROM_STEP_A"],
    "timezone": "America/New_York",
    "scheduledAt": "2026-06-15T10:00:00.000Z",
    "instagramConnectionIds": ["CONNECTION_ID_HERE"]
  }'
```

For video: use `mimeType: "video/mp4"`, `contentType: "VIDEO"`.
For carousel: upload multiple files, include all public URLs in `mediaUrls`, use `contentType: "CAROUSEL"`.

### 6. List posts

```bash
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADAPTLYPOST_API_KEY" \
  "https://post.adaptlypost.com/post/api/v1/social-posts?limit=20&offset=0"
```

Returns `{ "posts": [...], "total": 25, "hasMore": true }`. Use `limit` (1-100, default 20) and `offset` (default 0) for pagination.

### 7. Get post details

```bash
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADAPTLYPOST_API_KEY" \
  https://post.adaptlypost.com/post/api/v1/social-posts/POST_ID
```

Returns full post object with platform-specific status for each target platform.

### 8. Cross-post to multiple platforms

Include multiple platforms and their connection IDs in a single request:

```bash
curl -X POST https://post.adaptlypost.com/post/api/v1/social-posts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADAPTLYPOST_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "platforms": ["TWITTER", "BLUESKY", "LINKEDIN"],
    "contentType": "TEXT",
    "text": "Same post across 3 platforms!",
    "timezone": "America/New_York",
    "scheduledAt": "2026-06-15T10:00:00.000Z",
    "twitterConnectionIds": ["TWITTER_ID"],
    "blueskyConnectionIds": ["BLUESKY_ID"],
    "linkedinConnectionIds": ["LINKEDIN_ID"]
  }'
```

### 9. Use per-platform text

Override the default text for specific platforms:

```bash
curl -X POST https://post.adaptlypost.com/post/api/v1/social-posts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADAPTLYPOST_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "platforms": ["TWITTER", "LINKEDIN"],
    "contentType": "TEXT",
    "text": "Default text for all platforms",
    "platformTexts": [
      { "platform": "TWITTER", "text": "Short version for X #shortform" },
      { "platform": "LINKEDIN", "text": "Longer professional version with more detail for LinkedIn audience." }
    ],
    "timezone": "America/New_York",
    "scheduledAt": "2026-06-15T10:00:00.000Z",
    "twitterConnectionIds": ["TWITTER_ID"],
    "linkedinConnectionIds": ["LINKEDIN_ID"]
  }'
```

## Tips for the Agent

### CRITICAL — Always ask before posting

- **NEVER assume** whether the user wants to post now, schedule for later, or save as draft. **ALWAYS ask** the user: "Do you want to post this now, schedule it for a specific time, or save it as a draft?" Wait for their answer before making the API call.
- If the user says "post now", "publish now", or "right away": **completely omit `scheduledAt` from the request body** — do NOT set it to a time in the near future. The API publishes immediately when `scheduledAt` is absent.
- If the user says "schedule": ask for the date and time, then set `scheduledAt` to an ISO 8601 timestamp.
- If the user says "draft": set `saveAsDraft: true` and omit `scheduledAt`.

### Timezone handling

- The `timezone` field is **required** on every post creation request.
- **On the first interaction**, ask the user: "What timezone are you in? (e.g., Europe/Berlin, America/New_York)". Once they answer, **remember it for all future posts** in this conversation — do not ask again.
- If the user has previously told you their timezone in this conversation, reuse it silently.
- Common timezones: `Europe/London`, `Europe/Berlin`, `Europe/Paris`, `America/New_York`, `America/Chicago`, `America/Los_Angeles`, `Asia/Tokyo`, `Australia/Sydney`.

### API workflow

- Always call `/social-accounts` first to get valid connection IDs for each platform.
- For media posts, complete the full 3-step upload flow (get upload URL → PUT file → create post with `mediaUrls`).
- `scheduledAt` must be ISO 8601 and in the future. Omit it when using `saveAsDraft: true`.
- Each platform needs its connection IDs: `twitterConnectionIds`, `instagramConnectionIds`, `blueskyConnectionIds`, `linkedinConnectionIds`, `tiktokConnectionIds`, `threadsConnectionIds`, `pinterestConnectionIds`, `youtubeConnectionIds`. Facebook uses `pageIds`.
- TikTok configs **require** `privacyLevel` — always set it (e.g., `PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE`).
- Pinterest configs **require** `boardId` — there is no way to fetch boards via this API currently, so ask the user which board to use.
- For carousels, upload multiple files and include all public URLs in `mediaUrls`.
- Use `platformTexts` to customize text per platform when cross-posting.
- Content types: `TEXT` (no media), `IMAGE` (single image), `VIDEO` (single video), `CAROUSEL` (multiple images/videos).
- Check `skippedPlatforms` in the response — it tells you if any platform was skipped and why.
