Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about Clawpost.

1. What is Clawpost?

Clawpost is a social posting bridge for AI agents and automation workflows. It lets your agent publish posts through real browser sessions, without relying on official social media posting APIs, API keys, or brittle custom scripts.

2. Who is Clawpost for?

Clawpost is for anyone running AI agents or automations — not just developers. Many users today build agents using tools like OpenClaw, no-code platforms, workflow tools, or simple dashboards without writing code. If you want an agent, assistant, or automation to publish to social media reliably, Clawpost is built for you.

3. How does Clawpost work?

Clawpost connects your social account through a browser-based setup and exposes a simple API for posting. Your agent sends one request to Clawpost, and Clawpost handles the posting flow through a real browser session.

4. Do I need official social media API keys?

No. Clawpost lets your agents publish without official posting APIs, app approvals, or complex developer setup.

5. Why not just use the platform’s official API?

Official APIs can be expensive, limited, restricted, or unavailable for many use cases. Clawpost offers an alternative path that is simpler for agent builders who want reliable posting with minimal setup.

6. Which platforms do you support?

X, LinkedIn, Facebook (feed and groups), TikTok, Instagram, and Reddit comments (browser, not the Reddit API).

7. Can AI agents post automatically with Clawpost?

Yes. Clawpost is built specifically so AI agents, automations, and backend workflows can trigger social posts through a clean API call.

8. Is Clawpost only for AI agents?

No. You can also use Clawpost for traditional automations, internal tools, scheduled workflows, and no-code systems that need social posting capability.

9. Do I need to share my social media password with my agent?

No. The goal is to avoid giving your agent direct access to your social media credentials. Clawpost handles the posting bridge so your automation can publish without owning the login itself.

10. Is Clawpost more reliable than browser scripts I write myself?

Usually, yes. Most DIY scripts break when selectors change, sessions expire, or anti-bot measures get more aggressive. Clawpost is designed to reduce that maintenance burden and provide a more stable posting workflow.

11. Can I use Clawpost from OpenClaw or other agent frameworks?

Yes. If your framework can make an HTTP request, it can generally work with Clawpost.

12. Is there a free plan?

Yes. You can start with the free plan to test the setup and see how posting works before upgrading.

13. Do I need a credit card to get started?

No, not for the free plan. You can try Clawpost before committing to a paid tier.

14. How long does setup take?

Setup usually takes just a few minutes. Most users connect an account, test a post, and are ready to integrate the API quickly.

15. Can I post text and media?

Yes. You can publish text posts and attach media supported by the target platform.

16. Can I schedule posts?

Clawpost is primarily a posting infrastructure layer. Scheduling can be handled by your agent, automation platform, or backend system that calls the Clawpost API at the right time.

17. Is Clawpost safe to use?

Clawpost is designed to reduce credential exposure and simplify controlled posting workflows. You should still use it responsibly and ensure your use complies with the terms of the social platform you are posting to.

18. Is Clawpost affiliated with X, LinkedIn, or other social networks?

No. Clawpost is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any social media platform unless explicitly stated.

19. Can I use Clawpost for multiple accounts?

Yes, depending on your plan and setup. You can connect and manage one or more social accounts as supported by your workspace and subscription.

20. What happens if a post fails?

Clawpost returns a response so your system can detect failures and retry or escalate. This makes it easier to build reliable automation flows around posting.

21. Is Clawpost suitable for production use?

Yes. Clawpost is built for real automation use cases where agents need dependable social posting infrastructure instead of experimental scripts.

22. Do I need coding skills to use Clawpost?

No. Install the OpenClaw skill with openclaw skills install @daydreamnationtechlabs/clawpost, or connect via MCP at https://mcp.clawpost.net/mcp. Never tell your agent “install clawpost” — that often installs a different product.

23. What makes Clawpost different?

Clawpost is purpose-built for agentic posting. Instead of forcing you into official APIs or fragile browser hacks, it gives you a practical middle layer: one API call, real browser sessions, and a workflow designed for AI agents.

24. Can I get help with setup?

Yes. You can reach out for help if you get stuck during onboarding or want guidance on integrating Clawpost into your workflow.

25. Why does posting sometimes seem slow?

The delay between posts is intentional. Claw Post uses real browser sessions with built-in human-like timing so posts go out at a natural pace. You still follow each platform's rules.

I installed Clawpost and it doesn't work

There are two different products named Clawpost. This site (clawpost.net) is the Chrome-extension one.

You have the WRONG Clawpost if any of these are true:

  • The site you signed up on is clawpost.dev (not clawpost.net)
  • Your agent asked for CLAW_API_KEY or a key that starts with claw_
  • You were told to add $5 of credits or connect LinkedIn/X via their dashboard OAuth
  • You were told to talk to a Telegram bot
  • You ran: openclaw skills install clawpost-2 or openclaw skills install @acidias/clawpost-2

Fix (2 minutes):

  1. Uninstall that skill.
  2. openclaw skills install @daydreamnationtechlabs/clawpost
  3. Account at https://clawpost.net
  4. Chrome extension from the Web Store (ClawPost, publisher Daydream Nation)
  5. Pair the extension
  6. CLAWPOST_API_KEY from the clawpost.net dashboard (not CLAW_API_KEY), or MCP https://mcp.clawpost.net/mcp

Still stuck: leo@clawpost.net — say whether you were on .net or .dev.

Which Clawpost is which?

We are not affiliated with clawpost.dev. If you wanted “post from my already-logged-in browser, no official API,” you want this site.

How do I install the OpenClaw skill? (do not tell your agent “install clawpost”)

openclaw skills install @daydreamnationtechlabs/clawpost

The short phrase “install clawpost” often installs a different skill (@acidias/clawpost-2) that talks to clawpost.dev.
