Accounts

List connected social accounts, check their health, and refresh credentials.

An account is one connected profile on one network, for example a LinkedIn company page or one of several X accounts in the same workspace. Posts target account ids, so this is usually the first call an integration makes. Everything here needs the accounts scope.

List accounts

GET /v1/accounts
curl https://api.fopost.com/v1/accounts \
  -H "X-API-Key: $FOPOST_API_KEY"

Each account carries its id, platform, username, display name, avatar, and whether it is active. A workspace-bound key sees only that workspace's accounts.

Connecting an account

Connecting is an OAuth handshake with the network, so it happens in a browser, in the dashboard, under Accounts → Connect. The API cannot do it for you, because the network will not hand a token to a server-to-server call.

POST /v1/accounts exists for the handful of networks that authenticate with credentials you already hold rather than an OAuth redirect. For everything else, connect in the dashboard once and use the account id from then on.

Health

Tokens expire, users revoke apps, and networks change what a permission covers. Rather than discovering that at publish time, read health:

GET /v1/accounts/health
GET /v1/accounts/{id}/health

The summary endpoint takes an optional workspaceId and reports every account at once, which is what you want on a dashboard or a morning check. A degraded account still publishes, with a warning. An expired or revoked one fails immediately.

POST /v1/accounts/{id}/validate
POST /v1/accounts/{id}/refresh-token

validate calls the network and tells you whether the stored credentials still work. refresh-token forces a refresh ahead of schedule. Neither is normally necessary: tokens refresh on their own in the background, and this is for when you want to check before a launch rather than after.

Analytics for one account

GET /v1/accounts/{id}/analytics

Follower and engagement history for a single account. For cross-account reporting, use the analytics endpoints.

Other operations

EndpointWhat it does
GET /v1/accounts/{id}One account
POST /v1/accounts/{id}/primaryMark the account primary for its platform
DELETE /v1/accounts/{id}Disconnect. Published posts stay published

X communities

X accounts can post into communities, which have to be resolved before you can target one:

GET    /v1/accounts/{accountId}/communities
GET    /v1/accounts/{accountId}/communities/search
POST   /v1/accounts/{accountId}/communities/sync
POST   /v1/accounts/{accountId}/communities/manual
DELETE /v1/accounts/{accountId}/communities/{communityId}

sync pulls the communities the account belongs to, search looks one up, and manual adds one by id when you already know it.
