A post created as scheduled for a time that has already passed is published IMMEDIATELY, and the row returned carries that outcome — this is the one behaviour a reader would otherwise miss. A future-scheduled post is left for the scheduler, and a draft is left alone. Publishing never fails the creation: the post is stored either way, and a publish that could not run leaves the row for the scheduler to retry. ## Request 5 fields, body `application/json` (required). | Field | In | Type | Required | Description | | ------------ | ---- | --------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `channel` | body | string | — | Channel is the network to publish to: x, facebook, instagram, linkedin, tiktok, youtube or threads. | | `content` | body | string | — | Content is the post's text. | | `media` | body | string\[] | — | Media is the post's attached media as URLs, at most 10, each bounded at 1024 characters. | | `scheduleAt` | body | integer (int64) | — | ScheduleAt is when to publish, as a unix timestamp in SECONDS. | | `status` | body | string | — | Status is the post's lifecycle state: draft, scheduled, published or failed. | ## Response | Status | Body | Meaning | | --------- | ----------------- | ------- | | `201` | social.socialPost | created | | `default` | problem-details | refused | `201` body — 11 fields. | Field | In | Type | Always | Description | | ------------ | ---- | --------------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `accountId` | body | string | — | AccountID / ExternalID / Error are server-managed publish results, set only by the publish path (never by a client update): the account a post was published through, the provider's returned external post id (for reconciliation), and the last failure reason. | | `channel` | body | string | — | Channel is the network this post targets: x, facebook, instagram, linkedin, tiktok, youtube or threads. | | `content` | body | string | — | Content is the post's text, bounded at 8192 characters. | | `createdAt` | body | integer (int64) | — | CreatedAt is when the post was created, as a unix timestamp in seconds. | | `error` | body | string | — | Error is why the last publish attempt failed, verbatim and bounded. | | `externalId` | body | string | — | ExternalID is the id the network returned for the published post, which is what reconciles this row against the post on the network. | | `id` | body | string | — | ID is the post's identifier, minted on create and the id every later call addresses it by. | | `media` | body | string\[] | — | Media is the post's attached media as a list of URLs (images today; the composer's URL field now, an S3 picker later, populate it). | | `scheduleAt` | body | integer (int64) | — | ScheduleAt is when the post is due, as a unix timestamp in SECONDS. | | `status` | body | string | — | Status is the post's lifecycle state: draft, scheduled, published or failed. | | `updatedAt` | body | integer (int64) | — | UpdatedAt is when the post row last changed, as a unix timestamp in seconds. | Failure carries the platform error shape — see [Errors](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/errors). ## Examples **CLI** ```bash hanzo social posts create ``` **SDK** **.ts** ```ts import { Configuration, SocialApi } from 'hanzoai'; const api = new SocialApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY })); const { data } = await api.postSocialPosts({ channel: "", content: "" }); ``` **.py** ```python from hanzoai.cloud import ApiClient, Configuration from hanzoai.cloud.api import SocialApi client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"])) result = SocialApi(client).post_social_posts(channel="", content="") ``` **.go** ```go cfg := hanzoai.NewConfiguration() cfg.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("HANZO_API_KEY")) client := hanzoai.NewAPIClient(cfg) resp, _, err := client.SocialAPI.PostSocialPosts(context.Background()).Execute() if err != nil { return err } ``` **.rs** ```rust use hanzo_client::apis::{configuration::Configuration, social_api}; let mut cfg = Configuration::new(); cfg.bearer_access_token = std::env::var("HANZO_API_KEY").ok(); let result = social_api::post_social_posts(&cfg, Default::default()).await?; ``` **.java** ```java import ai.hanzo.cloud.ApiClient; import ai.hanzo.cloud.api.SocialApi; ApiClient client = new ApiClient(); client.setBearerToken(System.getenv("HANZO_API_KEY")); var result = new SocialApi(client).postSocialPosts(); ``` **HTTP** ```bash curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/social/posts \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "channel": "", "content": "" }' ``` **MCP** MCP reaches **social** through the `social` tool, which names its 13 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. `describe` explains any of them: ```bash curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "describe", "arguments": { "op": "list_social_accounts" } } }' ``` --- [Social API](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/openapi/social) · [All Hanzo APIs](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/openapi) · [Interactive reference](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/openapi/reference)
