Command line

Social Media CLI

Post, schedule, and manage every account from your terminal. Install it, log in with one workspace API key, and publish to every connected account from the terminal you already work in.

$ socialclaw apply -f launch.yaml --json
Run run_7k2md9pz created (2 post(s), model=posts_v1)

Everything is scriptable

The CLI is built for pipes, scripts, CI pipelines, and AI agents, not just humans typing commands.

JSON everywhere

Every command takes a json flag for output a script can read easily. Pipe it, or hand it straight to an agent.

Schedules as code

Campaigns are plain YAML or JSON files. Keep a week of content in git with a review diff, not twenty browser sessions.

Validate before publish

Validate runs the whole campaign through the same checks publishing uses. A forty post schedule passes as a batch or fails loudly before anything goes live.

Safe reruns

Applying with an idempotency key means running the same script again cannot publish the same post twice. Cron jobs and retry loops stay safe.

Media upload and hosting

Upload once, get a hosted link back, and reuse it across as many posts and platforms as you like.

Delivery you can check

Status, attempts, and analytics tell you what actually published, what failed, and how it performed.

One command, every platform

Because it is just a command, posting fits anywhere a command runs, your shell, cron, or a release pipeline.

Post to all your socials at once

One schedule file targets every connected account. Validate the batch, then apply, and every platform goes out together.

Terminal 
$ socialclaw validate -f week.yaml --json
Schedule valid: 12 post(s) | mode=scheduled | model=posts_v1

$ socialclaw apply -f week.yaml --json
Run run_4d81mzqv created (12 post(s), model=posts_v1)

Put your socials on cron

Drop apply into a crontab with an idempotency key and a weekly post publishes itself. A rerun never posts it twice.

crontab 
# every Friday 9am, weekly digest
0 9 * * 5  socialclaw apply \
  -f ~/social/friday.yaml \
  --idempotency-key wk-$(date +%V) --json

Ship the announcement with the release

Post from GitHub Actions the moment you cut a release, so the announcement goes out in the same workflow as the code.

release.yml 
- name: Post release
  run: |
    npm i -g socialclaw
    socialclaw apply -f .social/release.yaml
  env:
    SOCIALCLAW_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.SC_KEY }}

One CLI
the whole workflow

Connect accounts, upload media, schedule campaigns, and read the results. Every step has a command, and every command takes a json flag.
