AdaptlyPost

AdaptlyPost

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

Setup

1. Sign up at https://adaptlypost.com/signup 2. Go to Settings → API Tokens → generate a dedicated, revocable API token for this agent — do not reuse a token that is also used by other tools or humans. 3. Connect only the social accounts the agent actually needs. The token has delegated access to every account in the group, so a smaller group = smaller blast radius. 4. Set the environment variable:

   export ADAPTLYPOST_API_KEY="adaptly_your-token-here"
   

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

Safety rules — read before any write call

Posts are public, attributable, and hard to fully retract. Treat every POST /social-posts and POST /upload-urls as a high-impact action.

1. Confirm before every post. Before calling POST /social-posts, show the user a summary and get an explicit "yes" covering all four items: - Content — exact text (and per-platform overrides), media filenames - Platforms — which networks and which connected accounts (by displayName/username, not just ID) - Timing — "now", a specific scheduled time, or draft - Visibility — TikTok privacyLevel, YouTube privacyStatus, Instagram postType, etc. A previous "yes" does not authorize a new post. Re-confirm each one. 2. Prefer drafts when uncertain. If the user has not run this skill before, or the content is sensitive, default to saveAsDraft: true and let them review in the AdaptlyPost UI before publishing. 3. Never batch without explicit batch consent. If the user asks to schedule many posts in a row, ask them to confirm a small first batch (e.g. 1–3 posts) before scheduling the rest. A single typo or wrong connection ID will otherwise propagate to every queued post. 4. Verify media before upload. Files uploaded via /upload-urls are stored at a public URL that exists from the moment of upload — before the post goes live, and even if the post is never created. Before calling /upload-urls: - Confirm the exact file path with the user. - Refuse to upload files from directories that may contain unrelated content (~/Downloads, ~/Desktop, screenshot folders, etc.) without an explicit per-file "yes". - Never upload a file the user did not name. 5. Do not retry failed posts silently. If a POST /social-posts returns an error or unexpected skippedPlatforms, surface it to the user and ask before retrying — do not loop.

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)

⚠️ Immediate publish is irreversible from the agent's side — once POST /social-posts returns, the content is live on the user's connected accounts. Only call this after the four-item confirmation in Safety rules.

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)

⚠️ The publicUrl returned in Step A is publicly reachable as soon as Step B completes — even if you never create the post in Step C. Confirm the exact file path with the user before Step A, and never upload a file the user has not explicitly named.

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

Go to Settings → API Tokens → generate a dedicated, revocable API token for this agent — do not reuse a token that is also used by other tools or humans. 3. Connect only the social accounts the agent actually needs. The token has delegated access to every account in the group, so a smaller group = smaller blast radius. 4. Set the environment variable:
