Publish a post on one connected account, right away or at publish_at (then it's scheduled: returns a scheduled_post_id for list_scheduled_posts and cancel_scheduled_post). YouTube: text ≤5000, 1 video (required), a title ≤100. YouTube needs a video and a title. Call post_options first for an account you haven't posted to in this conversation. Media: media_ids from upload_media (files the user has, or one you made), or public https links (image_urls, video_url); for a scheduled post, links must keep working until publish_at, uploads are kept with the post. Public and irreversible: confirm the account, final text, media, audience and time (with the user's time zone) with the user first.

What create_post accepts on one connected account: the network's limits (characters, title, media) and fields, and the account's own choices: TikTok privacy levels and which interactions the creator allows, Pinterest boards and the default one, the WordPress site, YouTube visibilities, Google Business Profile buttons. Call it before composing a post for an account you haven't posted to in this conversation.

Returns a link where the user uploads an image, a video or a document from their device, and the media_id to pass to create_post (media_ids), comment or a message (send_message, start_chat: media_id). Use it when the user wants a photo, video or document (a PDF, say) in a post or message and it isn't already online: files attached in the chat can't reach Pluggzy, so ask them to upload it here. If you made the file yourself in a sandbox or terminal with internet access, upload it yourself with the upload_command it returns. Images: JPEG, PNG or WebP, at most 8 MB. Videos: MP4, MOV or WebM, at most 5 GB on the page (upload_command sends at most 100 MB), for create_post on publishing accounts only (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook posts, comments and messages take images). Documents (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint (docx, xlsx, pptx, doc, xls, ppt), TXT or CSV, at most 15 MB) for send_message and start_chat only. Each link takes one file: for another one (each image of a carousel, say), call upload_media again. The file can be used for 24 hours, in as many posts and messages as needed; a scheduled post keeps its own copy until it goes out.
