AdaptlyPost

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

Setup

Sign up at https://adaptlypost.com/signup
Go to Settings → API Tokens → generate an API token
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

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:

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

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:

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:

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:

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:

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

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

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:

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:

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.
