Scheduling API

Scheduler API for social media posts, media, and delivery state.

A scheduler API should do more than accept a timestamp. SocialClaw connects accounts, stores reusable media, validates provider rules, creates scheduled work, and exposes post state after apply.

What you get

The operational pieces that matter before a workflow promises social publishing.

Accounts

Connected account reuse

Use one workspace to store social account connections that dashboard, CLI, API, and agent workflows can reuse.

Media

Upload once, schedule later

Upload media to SocialClaw when providers need stable public URLs or reusable assets.

Validation

Provider-aware preflight

Validate the post shape, account target, media envelope, and schedule before applying live work.

Inspection

Runs, posts, and attempts

Read delivery state after apply instead of assuming a queue entry means a publish succeeded.

Inputs and requirements

The data and checks that keep the workflow grounded in current provider rules.

Workspace API key
Connected target account
Post text, media, and provider-specific settings
publish_at timestamp and timezone
Validation before apply and inspection after apply

How it works

A provider aware flow from connection to inspection.

Connect accounts

Store provider accounts in the SocialClaw workspace instead of handling provider credentials in your own scheduler.

Upload or reference media

Attach SocialClaw-hosted or public media URLs that fit the provider route.

Validate the schedule

Call validation before apply to catch account, media, and provider-envelope issues.

Apply scheduled work

Create scheduled posts with an idempotency key so repeated submissions do not duplicate work.

Inspect delivery state

Read posts, attempts, runs, usage, and health to recover cleanly.

Constraints to know

Important guardrails to keep the page accurate.

Provider-specific media and permission limits still apply.
The API is hosted by SocialClaw; it is not an offline scheduler library.
Teams should still implement retry and status handling around the API.
