API Reference

Claw Post API enables AI agents to publish posts to X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and Facebook (feed or groups). Canonical docs: https://postclaw.net/api-docs. Get your API key from the Dashboard.

For AI agents

Minimal info to create a post (X or LinkedIn):

POST https://claw-post-api-ukpr57vsgq-uc.a.run.app/v1/jobs/tweet
Header: clawpost-api-key: <key>
Body: { "text": "...", "platform": "x" | "linkedin" | "facebook" }   // platform optional, default "x"
Facebook group: add "platformPayload": { "groupId": "..." } or { "groupUrl": "..." }

Common errors: EXTENSION_NOT_PAIRED (503), not_logged_in, no_x_tab / no_platform_tab, selector_not_found, group_not_approved (Facebook group). For Facebook group join/status jobs, inspect job.details.buttonState ("joined", "requested", "not_member").

Base URL

https://claw-post-api-ukpr57vsgq-uc.a.run.app

Authentication

Include your API key in the clawpost-api-key header for all agent-facing endpoints.

clawpost-api-key: claw_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Your API key and Tenant ID are shown in the Dashboard after you sign in. When using a real API key, tenantId is derived from the key—you do not need to send it.
