## What it does

socialclaw connects your IDE to an API for managing posts across major social networks. Once you link accounts in your dashboard at `https://getsocialclaw.com/dashboard`, the skill lets you compose posts, upload media, and schedule publication across multiple platforms or post immediately.

The skill uses REST API, so you only need an `SOCIALCLAW_API_KEY`—socialclaw handles each network's OAuth and media rules. Before publishing, the skill validates your post against platform-specific text and media limits, then sends it. You can track status afterward.

Supported networks: X, LinkedIn (profile and page), Instagram, Facebook Pages, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Pinterest, WordPress, Discord, and Telegram. Full features require an active SocialClaw plan; trial keys let you list accounts.

# SocialClaw

Schedule and publish social media posts through connected accounts using the hosted SocialClaw API. SocialClaw handles each network's OAuth, media rules, and publish logic, so this skill only needs a workspace API key.

## When to Use
- The user wants to post or schedule content to social media
- The user wants to publish the same message to multiple platforms at once
- The user wants to check whether a scheduled post succeeded
- The user asks for post analytics

## Supported Networks
X, LinkedIn (profile + page), Instagram (business + standalone), Facebook Pages, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Pinterest, WordPress, Discord, and Telegram.

## Authentication
All requests go to `https://getsocialclaw.com` and send the workspace key:

```
Authorization: Bearer $SOCIALCLAW_API_KEY
```

Never hardcode the key — read it from the `SOCIALCLAW_API_KEY` environment variable.

## Procedure
1. **List connected accounts** to get an account id: `GET /v1/accounts`
2. *(optional)* **Check capabilities** (media/text limits): `GET /v1/accounts/{accountId}/capabilities`
3. *(optional)* **Upload media**: `POST /v1/assets/upload` with `{ filename, contentType, contentBase64 }` → returns a hosted URL to use as `media_link`
4. **Validate before publishing** (always): `POST /v1/posts/validate` with `{ schedule }`
5. **Schedule or publish**: `POST /v1/posts/apply` with `{ schedule }`. Omit `publish_at` to publish immediately.
6. **Check status**: `GET /v1/posts/{postId}/attempts`

### Schedule document shape
```json
{
  "timezone": "UTC",
  "posts": [
    {
      "account": "<accountId>",
      "name": "launch post",
      "description": "<the post text>",
      "publish_at": "2026-06-16T09:00:00Z",
      "media_link": "<optional hosted media URL>"
    }
  ]
}
```

## Examples

List connected accounts:
```bash
curl -s https://getsocialclaw.com/v1/accounts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCIALCLAW_API_KEY"
```

Validate, then schedule a post:
```bash
PAYLOAD='{"schedule":{"timezone":"UTC","posts":[{"account":"ACCOUNT_ID","name":"launch","description":"Hello from Hermes 🦅","publish_at":"2026-06-16T09:00:00Z"}]}}'

curl -s -X POST https://getsocialclaw.com/v1/posts/validate \
