PostWire API reference

Publish one idea as a native post on each network, schedule it, and get told when it goes out. JSON over HTTPS at https://postwire.io. Every endpoint has a copyable example in curl, Node and Python.

Quick start

1. Get a key. Sign up at postwire.io and open API & MCP. Keys start with pw_live_. The Free plan includes the API.
2. Connect a network. Telegram, Bluesky, Mastodon and Discord with POST /api/connect; TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook Pages and LinkedIn with OAuth (POST /api/oauth/{platform}/url). Or in the dashboard.
3. Publish. One request, every network you name:

curl -X POST "https://postwire.io/api/post" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $POSTWIRE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "platforms": [
    "bluesky",
    "telegram"
  ],
  "text": "Hello from the PostWire API"
}'

const res = await fetch("https://postwire.io/api/post", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.POSTWIRE_API_KEY}`, "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "platforms": [
      "bluesky",
      "telegram"
    ],
    "text": "Hello from the PostWire API"
  }),
});
console.log(res.status, await res.json());

import os, requests

r = requests.post(
    "https://postwire.io/api/post",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['POSTWIRE_API_KEY']}"},
    json={
        "platforms": ["bluesky", "telegram"],
        "text": "Hello from the PostWire API",
    },
)
print(r.status_code, r.json())

Authentication

Send the key in Authorization: Bearer pw_live_… (or X-API-Key: pw_live_…). A missing or wrong key answers 401. Publishing needs a verified email and a full-access key, otherwise 403. If PostWire cannot check a key because of its own outage it answers 503 auth_unavailable, never 401: retry, do not throw the key away.

Keys can be created with an expiry and revoked at once: see Account, keys and billing. GET /api/platforms, GET /api/plans and GET /api/status need no key.

One result per network

Publishing answers 200 with posted (networks that went out) and results[], one entry per network, each with ok and, when it did not go out, error and a machine-readable code. One network failing never fails the request or the others. A request-level problem (bad JSON, nothing connected, a network connected in two brands without brand_id) answers 4xx before anything is sent.

A post counts once per network that published: one idea to three networks is three of the month's posts. Networks refused before sending (not connected, held by the plan, media missing) spend nothing.

Plans and limits

From GET /api/plans, the same table the billing code reads. A post counts once per network.

Every plan includes the REST API, the MCP server, webhooks and TikTok. See pricing.
