Text post

A text post is the simplest kind — no upload, just one call to POST /posts/create.

When to use

You're posting words only: an update, a question, an announcement. No image, video, or file.

The one call

Send text (and optional visibility) to POST /posts/create. That's the whole flow.

curl -X POST https://api.connectsafely.ai/linkedin/posts/create -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "text": "We just shipped document posts in our API. Ask me anything below.", "visibility": "ANYONE" }'

Fields

Common mistakes

• Over 3,000 characters. LinkedIn rejects post text longer than 3,000 characters. The API returns success with no post URL in that case — trim the text and retry.
• Empty text. text is required, even for media posts.

Reference

• POST /posts/create
