Creates a draft. To schedule or publish, follow up with PUT /posts/{post} using status=scheduled or status=publishing.

​
Request

​
platforms
array
required
At least one platform entry. Each entry pins this post to a connected social account and a content_type.
​
content
string
The post body shared across all platforms. Up to 63 206 characters. Defaults to empty.
​
media
array
Media items to attach to the post. Each item should match the shape returned by POST /posts/{post}/media — id, path, url, type, mime_type, original_filename. Most callers use the dedicated upload or attach-from-URL endpoint instead.
​
scheduled_at
string
ISO 8601 datetime in the future (e.g. 2026-05-10T15:30:00Z). Stored on the draft so a follow-up PUT with status=scheduled doesn’t have to repeat it. Defaults to today at 09:00 UTC.
​
label_ids
array
Workspace label UUIDs to attach. Must belong to the same workspace as the API key.

​
Response

Returns 201 with the created post. Response shape is identical to GET /posts/{post} — see that endpoint for full field documentation.
