Core Concepts

• Social Accounts: Connected platform accounts that can receive posts
• Social Posts: Content (caption + media) to be published
• Post Results: Outcome of publishing to each platform
• Account Feeds: Retrieve posts and metrics from connected accounts

Creating Posts

Basic Post (Instant Publishing)

const post = await client.socialPosts.create({
  caption: "Check out our new product! #launch",
  social_accounts: ["sa_abc123", "sa_def456"],
  media: [{ url: "https://example.com/image.jpg" }],
});

Scheduled Post

const post = await client.socialPosts.create({
  caption: "Scheduled announcement",
  social_accounts: ["sa_abc123"],
  scheduled_at: "2024-12-31T18:00:00Z", // ISO 8601 format
});

Draft Post

const draft = await client.socialPosts.create({
  caption: "Work in progress",
  social_accounts: ["sa_abc123"],
  isDraft: true, // Won't be processed/published
});

Platform-Specific Customization

Instagram Reels

await client.socialPosts.create({
  caption: "Check this reel!",
  social_accounts: ["sa_instagram"],
  media: [{ url: "https://example.com/video.mp4" }],
  platform_configurations: {
    instagram: {
      placement: "reels",
      share_to_feed: true, // Also show in feed
    },
  },
});

Twitter/X with Poll

await client.socialPosts.create({
  caption: "What feature should we build next?",
  social_accounts: ["sa_twitter"],
  platform_configurations: {
    x: {
      poll: {
        duration_minutes: 1440, // 24 hours
        options: ["Dark mode", "API v2", "Mobile app", "Analytics"],
      },
    },
  },
});

TikTok Configuration

await client.socialPosts.create({
  caption: "New dance challenge!",
  social_accounts: ["sa_tiktok"],
  media: [{ url: "https://example.com/dance.mp4" }],
  platform_configurations: {
    tiktok: {
      allow_comment: true,
      allow_duet: true,
      allow_stitch: true,
      privacy_status: "public",
    },
  },
});

Managing Social Accounts

List Accounts

const accounts = await client.socialAccounts.list({
  platform: ["instagram", "tiktok"],
  status: ["connected"],
});

Connect Account (OAuth Flow)

// Step 1: Generate auth URL
const { url } = await client.socialAccounts.createAuthURL({
  platform: "instagram",
  external_id: "user_123",
});
// Redirect user to `url` to complete OAuth

// Step 2: After OAuth callback, account is auto-created

Disconnect Account

await client.socialAccounts.disconnect("sa_abc123");

Media Upload

// Request upload URL
const { media_url, upload_url } = await client.media.createUploadURL();

// Upload file to signed URL
await fetch(upload_url, {
  method: "PUT",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "video/mp4" },
  body: videoFile,
});

// Use media_url in post
await client.socialPosts.create({
  caption: "My video",
  social_accounts: ["sa_abc123"],
  media: [{ url: media_url }],
});

Retrieving Post Results

// Get results for a specific post
const results = await client.socialPostResults.list({
  post_id: ["sp_xyz789"],
});

results.data.forEach((result) => {
  console.log(`Platform: ${result.social_account_id}`);
  console.log(`Success: ${result.success}`);
  if (result.platform_data.url) {
    console.log(`Posted at: ${result.platform_data.url}`);
  }
});

Fetching Account Feeds with Metrics

const feed = await client.socialAccountFeeds.list("sa_instagram123", {
  expand: ["metrics"], // Include analytics
  limit: 20,
});

feed.data.forEach((post) => {
  console.log(`Caption: ${post.caption}`);
  if (post.metrics) {
    console.log(`Likes: ${post.metrics.likes}`);
    console.log(`Comments: ${post.metrics.comments}`);
  }
});

Pagination

const posts = await client.socialPosts.list({
  limit: 50,
  offset: 0,
  status: ["processed"],
});

console.log(`Total: ${posts.meta.total}`);
console.log(`Next page: ${posts.meta.next}`);
