Every recipe below sends the same request:

Method

POST

URL

https://postika.app/api/v1/posts

Header

Authorization: Bearer ptk_…

Body

JSON: content, channel_ids, when, mode

{
  "content": "New on the blog: How we cut our build time in half",
  "channel_ids": [
    "8d0c6f8e-2b7a-4c1e-9f43-2f1d7a8b5c10"
  ],
  "when": "2026-11-12 09:30",

when is in the project's local time. Use approval while you test so nothing goes out without you.
