Post to social channels. Channels open today: threads, instagram, youtube, facebook, bluesky, telegram, naver_blog, tiktok. Get accountIds from select_channels — do not guess which channel the person meant. Text limits differ per channel: Threads 500 characters, Instagram 2200 characters, YouTube 5000 UTF-8 bytes, Facebook 63206 characters, Bluesky 300 graphemes and 3000 UTF-8 bytes, Telegram 4096 characters (1024 with media attached), Naver Blog 30000 characters, TikTok 2200 characters. Over the limit nothing goes out to any channel, so shorten it before calling. Images and video both work on the channels that take them. How several items sit in one post differs per channel: Threads groups up to 20 items in one post, Instagram groups up to 10 items in one post, YouTube has no carousel and places up to 0 images in the post itself, Facebook groups up to 10 items in one post, Bluesky has no carousel and places up to 4 images in the post itself, Telegram groups up to 10 items in one post, Naver Blog has no carousel and places up to 50 images in the post itself, TikTok groups up to 35 items in one post. YouTube is different: it takes exactly one video, no images, and it needs options.youtube.title. Its description is measured in UTF-8 bytes, so Korean and Japanese cost three per character. Instagram cannot publish text alone: every post needs at least one image or video. A single video becomes a reel there. Set options.instagram.contentType to story for a story; stories show no caption. Non-JPEG images are converted for Instagram automatically. Facebook publishes to a Page, never a personal profile. options.facebook.link makes a link post (no media alongside), and a single video becomes a reel (3-90 seconds). Bluesky counts graphemes, not characters, and also caps UTF-8 bytes, so a post of 300 emoji can fail on the byte limit. Set options.bluesky.langs to the language of the text (1-3 BCP-47 codes like ["ko"]): without it the post never appears in language-scoped feeds, and Bluesky has no post editing to fix it later. Links, @mentions and #hashtags in the text are made clickable for you, and a link gets a preview card, so write the URL plainly. There are three ways to get a media id, pick by where the file is: media_from_url when it already has a public https address, media_upload_link when it is on the person's own device, media_presign plus media_complete when you can PUT the bytes yourself. Then pass the media ids here. On Naver Blog the body can also place media itself with  and @video(media:<id>), each on a line of its own. Ids you reference that way are picked up even if you leave them out of mediaIds, and media you pass but never reference goes at the end of the post. Those references only work when every target is Naver Blog: other channels would publish the markup as literal text, so we refuse instead. This publishes immediately except on the channels that take native scheduling: YouTube with options.youtube.publishAt while privacyStatus is private, Facebook feed posts with options.facebook.scheduledPublishTime (10 minutes to 28 days out), and Naver Blog with options.naver_blog.scheduledAt (10 minutes out, and draftOnly stops at a draft). If the user asks to schedule anywhere else, tell them uplika cannot do that on that channel. On YouTube we pass privacyStatus through as you set it and report back what YouTube actually applied, so read the warning on the result instead of promising the person a visibility we did not confirm. Returns while the post is still publishing. The permalink is null at that moment. Call get_post with the returned id to see the final status and link. Pass wait: true to hold the response until it is really out — then you can tell the person it is posted instead of guessing. For a long post use threadItems instead of publish-then-reply: we keep the order and wait for each piece to land before sending the next one.
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| content | string | no | Post text |
| accountIds | array | yes | Account ids from select_channels |
| mediaIds | array | no | Media ids from media_presign (confirmed with media_complete), media_from_url or media_upload_link. On Naver Blog you can leave out ids the body already points at with media:<id>; we pick those up from the text. |
| threadItems | array | no | Split a long post into a chain instead of calling publish and then reply. The first item is the root and the rest become replies under it, in order. We handle the ordering and the waiting. Each item obeys the character limit on its own. Pass either content or threadItems, not both. If a later item fails, the ones already up stay up and the response tells you where to resume. |
| topicTag | string | no | One topic to tag the post with, like a category. Only some channels take one, and those reject periods and ampersands in it. If any channel in accountIds does not take topics the whole call is refused, so publish to it separately. On a thread it goes on the first piece only. Leave it out unless the person asked for a topic. |
| options | object | no | Per-channel settings. Only the channels you are posting to need an entry. |
| wait | boolean | no | Hold the response until the post is really out. Text waits up to 10 seconds, posts with media up to 90 seconds. If it is still going after that you get the usual publishing response and should poll get_post. Defaults to false. |
| workspaceId | string | no | Which workspace this is for. Only needed when the account has more than one — the error tells you the ids when it matters. Leave it out if it is already decided; do not ask the person again. |
