Getting Started

Create a Postifys account, connect social destinations, generate an API key, verify access, and publish your first post.

Quick answer: Sign up at Postifys, connect at least one social account, create an API key in Settings, verify the key with GET /api/key/test, then publish with the matching platform endpoint.

1. Create a Postifys account

  1. Open https://postifys.com/signup and create an account.
  2. Confirm you can sign in to the dashboard.

2. Connect a destination account

From the dashboard/settings flows, connect the network you want to publish to:

  • Facebook Page (not a personal profile wall)
  • Instagram professional account
  • YouTube channel
  • Pinterest board access
  • LinkedIn member profile
  • TikTok creator account

Publishing only works for accounts the OAuth connection is authorized to use. See each integration page for limits.

3. Create an API key

  1. Open https://postifys.com/settings.
  2. Create your API key. Each user can create one key; you can view, copy, delete, and recreate it after deletion.
  3. Store the key privately. Do not put it in public HTML, client-side JavaScript, or screenshots.

4. Verify API access

curl https://postifys.com/api/key/test \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

A successful response means the key is accepted. Then list connections when needed:

curl https://postifys.com/api/connections \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

5. Publish a first test post

Start with a simple Facebook text/image post or Instagram image before large videos:

curl -X POST https://postifys.com/api/facebook/post \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "text": "Hello from Postifys API",
    "type": "FEED"
  }'

Review the result in Post History in the dashboard. For endpoint fields, continue to Create a post.

Launch checklist

  • Account created and signed in
  • At least one destination connected
