Tips & Notes

  • Make sure your target social accounts are active and not expired before scheduling.
  • The social_network_id must exactly match the account IDs retrieved from the List Category Accounts or List Social Accounts endpoints.
  • For immediate publishing, you can set the scheduled_date_time to the current timestamp.
  • Avoid overloading with too many simultaneous posts to prevent API rate limiting.

Next Step: Combine this with your category and account lookups to automate the posting workflow end-to-end.
