The fundamental pattern for using Postiz CLI: Discover - List integrations and get their settings Fetch - Use integration tools to retrieve dynamic data (flairs, playlists, companies) Prepare - Upload media files if needed Post - Create posts with content, media, and platform-specific settings Analyze - Track performance with platform and post-level analytics Resolve - If analytics returns {"missing": true}, run posts:missing to list provider content, then posts:connect to link it # 1. Discover postiz integrations:list postiz integrations:settings <integration-id> # 2. Fetch (if needed) postiz integrations:trigger <integration-id> <method> -d '{"key":"value"}' # 3. Prepare postiz upload image.jpg # 4. Post postiz posts:create -c "Content" -m "image.jpg" -i "<integration-id>" # 5. Analyze postiz analytics:platform <integration-id> -d 30 postiz analytics:post <post-id> -d 7 # 6. Resolve (if analytics returns {"missing": true}) postiz posts:missing <post-id> postiz posts:connect <post-id> --release-id "<content-id>"
# Required environment variable export POSTIZ_API_KEY=your_api_key_here # Optional custom API URL export POSTIZ_API_URL=https://custom-api-url.com
# List all connected integrations postiz integrations:list # Get settings schema for specific integration postiz integrations:settings <integration-id> # Trigger integration tool to fetch dynamic data postiz integrations:trigger <integration-id> <method-name> postiz integrations:trigger <integration-id> <method-name> -d '{"param":"value"}'
# Simple post (date is REQUIRED) postiz posts:create -c "Content" -s "2024-12-31T12:00:00Z" -i "integration-id" # Draft post postiz posts:create -c "Content" -s "2024-12-31T12:00:00Z" -t draft -i "integration-id" # Post with media postiz posts:create -c "Content" -m "img1.jpg,img2.jpg" -s "2024-12-31T12:00:00Z" -i "integration-id" # Post with comments (each with own media) postiz posts:create \ -c "Main post" -m "main.jpg" \ -c "First comment" -m "comment1.jpg" \ -c "Second comment" -m "comment2.jpg,comment3.jpg" \ -s "2024-12-31T12:00:00Z" \ -i "integration-id" # Multi-platform post postiz posts:create -c "Content" -s "2024-12-31T12:00:00Z" -i "twitter-id,linkedin-id,facebook-id" # Platform-specific settings postiz posts:create \ -c "Content" \ -s "2024-12-31T12:00:00Z" \ --settings '{"subreddit":[{"value":{"subreddit":"programming","title":"My Post","type":"text"}}]}' \ -i "reddit-id" # Complex post from JSON file postiz posts:create --json post.json
# List posts (defaults to last 30 days to next 30 days) postiz posts:list # List posts in date range postiz posts:list --startDate "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z" --endDate "2024-12-31T23:59:59Z" # Delete post postiz posts:delete <post-id>
# Get platform analytics (default: last 7 days) postiz analytics:platform <integration-id> # Get platform analytics for last 30 days postiz analytics:platform <integration-id> -d 30 # Get post analytics (default: last 7 days) postiz analytics:post <post-id> # Get post analytics for last 30 days postiz analytics:post <post-id> -d 30 Returns an array of metrics (e.g. Followers, Impressions, Likes, Comments) with daily data points and percentage change over the period. ⚠️ IMPORTANT: Missing Release ID Handling If analytics:post returns {"missing": true} instead of an analytics array, the post was published but the platform didn't return a usable post ID. You must resolve this before analytics will work: # 1. analytics:post returns {"missing": true} postiz analytics:post <post-id> # 2. Get available content from the provider postiz posts:missing <post-id> # Returns: [{"id": "7321456789012345678", "url": "https://...cover.jpg"}, ...] # 3. Connect the correct content to the post postiz posts:connect <post-id> --release-id "7321456789012345678" # 4. Now analytics will work postiz analytics:post <post-id>
Some platforms (e.g. TikTok) don't return a post ID immediately after publishing. When this happens, the post's releaseId is set to "missing" and analytics are unavailable until resolved. # List recent content from the provider for a post with missing release ID postiz posts:missing <post-id> # Connect a post to its published content postiz posts:connect <post-id> --release-id "<content-id>" Returns an empty array if the provider doesn't support this feature or if the post doesn't have a missing release ID.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Always upload files to Postiz before using them in posts. Many platforms (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube) require verified URLs and will reject external links. # Upload file and get URL postiz upload image.jpg # Supports: images (PNG, JPG, GIF, WEBP, SVG), videos (MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WEBM), # audio (MP3, WAV, OGG, AAC), documents (PDF, DOC, DOCX) # Workflow: Upload → Extract URL → Use in post VIDEO=$(postiz upload video.mp4) VIDEO_PATH=$(echo "$VIDEO" | jq -r '.path') postiz posts:create -c "Content" -s "2024-12-31T12:00:00Z" -m "$VIDEO_PATH" -i "tiktok-id"

Many integrations require dynamic data (IDs, tags, playlists) that can't be hardcoded. The tools workflow enables discovery and usage: Check available tools - integrations:settings returns a tools array Review tool schema - Each tool has methodName, description, and dataSchema Trigger tool - Call integrations:trigger with required parameters Use output - Tool returns data to use in post settings Example tools by platform: Reddit: getFlairs, searchSubreddits, getSubreddits YouTube: getPlaylists, getCategories, getChannels LinkedIn: getCompanies, getOrganizations Twitter/X: getListsowned, getCommunities Pinterest: getBoards, getBoardSections
Platform-specific settings use a discriminator pattern with __type field: { "posts": [ { "provider": "reddit", "post": [{ "content": "...", "image": [...] }], "settings": { "__type": "reddit", "subreddit": [{ "value": { "subreddit": "programming", "title": "Post Title", "type": "text", "url": "", "is_flair_required": false } }] } } ] } Pass settings directly: postiz posts:create -c "Content" -s "2024-12-31T12:00:00Z" --settings '{"subreddit":[...]}' -i "reddit-id" # Backend automatically adds "__type" based on integration ID
Posts can have comments (threads on Twitter/X, replies elsewhere). Each comment can have its own media: # Using multiple -c and -m flags postiz posts:create \ -c "Main post" -m "image1.jpg,image2.jpg" \ -c "Comment 1" -m "comment-img.jpg" \ -c "Comment 2" -m "another.jpg,more.jpg" \ -s "2024-12-31T12:00:00Z" \ -d 5 \ # Delay between comments in minutes -i "integration-id" Internally creates: { "posts": [{ "value": [ { "content": "Main post", "image": ["image1.jpg", "image2.jpg"] }, { "content": "Comment 1", "image": ["comment-img.jpg"], "delay": 5 }, { "content": "Comment 2", "image": ["another.jpg", "more.jpg"], "delay": 5 } ] }] }
All dates use ISO 8601 format: Schedule posts: -s "2024-12-31T12:00:00Z" List posts: --startDate "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z" --endDate "2024-12-31T23:59:59Z" Defaults: posts:list uses 30 days ago to 30 days from now
Upload returns JSON with path and metadata: { "path": "https://cdn.postiz.com/uploads/abc123.jpg", "size": 123456, "type": "image/jpeg" } Extract path for use in posts: RESULT=$(postiz upload image.jpg) PATH=$(echo "$RESULT" | jq -r '.path') postiz posts:create -c "Content" -s "2024-12-31T12:00:00Z" -m "$PATH" -i "integration-id"
CLI flags - Quick posts: postiz posts:create -c "Content" -m "img.jpg" -i "twitter-id" JSON mode - Complex posts with multiple platforms and settings: postiz posts:create --json post.json JSON mode supports: Multiple platforms with different content per platform Complex provider-specific settings Scheduled posts Posts with many comments Custom delay between comments

API Key not set - Always export POSTIZ_API_KEY=key before using CLI Invalid integration ID - Run integrations:list to get current IDs Settings schema mismatch - Check integrations:settings for required fields Media MUST be uploaded to Postiz first - ⚠️ CRITICAL: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and many platforms only accept verified URLs. Upload files via postiz upload first, then use the returned URL in -m. External URLs will be rejected! JSON escaping in shell - Use single quotes for JSON: --settings '{...}' Date format - Must be ISO 8601: "2024-12-31T12:00:00Z" and is REQUIRED Tool not found - Check available tools in integrations:settings output Character limits - Each platform has different limits, check maxLength in settings Required settings - Some platforms require specific settings (Reddit needs title, YouTube needs title) Media MIME types - CLI auto-detects from file extension, ensure correct extension Analytics returns {"missing": true} - The post was published but the platform didn't return a post ID. Run posts:missing <post-id> to get available content, then posts:connect <post-id> --release-id "<id>" to link it. Analytics will work after connecting.
