Use case

Use case: post to social media via API from your app

If you are building your own app or internal tool and want to publish to social media programmatically instead of through a UI, SkedCast’s real REST API (POST /v1/posts) handles the per-platform quirks so your app only has to make one call.

Key takeaways

  • A single POST /v1/posts call handles publishing to any connected platform, so your app doesn’t need per-platform integration code.
  • No public @skedcast/sdk npm package is published yet — the REST API works with plain fetch/requests calls in the meantime.

Post to social media via API use case: authenticate and send the request

Generate a real API key from your workspace settings, send it as a Bearer token, then POST to /v1/posts with your content, target accounts and schedule — see the snippet generator for a real, copy-paste example.

Handle the response

The API returns a real per-platform status you can store or surface in your own app.

FAQ

Is there a real published SDK?
Not yet — no @skedcast/sdk npm package is published today. The REST API works directly with plain fetch/requests calls in any language in the meantime.
What does authentication look like?
API keys for server-to-server use, or OAuth 2.1 with PKCE when acting on behalf of a user or building a public integration.
Where do I see the exact request shape?
The API request builder and snippet generator both compose the real request from documented shapes — copy directly from either.
