Before you call either
Blotato
- Call
blotato_list_accountsorGET /v2/users/me/accountsfirst, and fetchpageIdorboardIdbefore posting to a Facebook Page, LinkedIn company Page or Pinterest - Keep the
postSubmissionIdand poll the status untilpublished,scheduledorfailed. It is a receipt, not proof of publication - After a timeout on a create call, list existing posts before sending again, because there is no idempotency key
- Do not generate an API key on a trial account unless the owner accepts the Starter charge
- Keep REST bodies and MCP arguments apart. REST nests
post.contentandpost.target, and the MCP tool takes flat arguments
Post Bridge API + MCP
- Call list_social_accounts first, upload media, then create_post. Omit scheduled_at to publish at once
- Check list_post_results before republishing a failed Instagram post, since Meta 500s often publish anyway
- Set is_draft true when a person should approve the post
- Put links for X in a reply, because captions sent to X lose their URLs
- Stay under 10 requests a second per key, and trigger sync_analytics no more than once every 30 minutes per account
