Input
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
account |
string (1–100 chars) | Yes | The X account to use: its X-Buddy account_id (from account_list) or its @handle. Ambiguous names return candidates instead of guessing. |
post |
string (1–300 chars) | Yes | Post id (digits) or its URL, e.g. https://x.com/someone/status/1790000000000000000 |
policy |
everyone · following · verified · mentioned |
Yes |
Result
Creates a job for the X account's VPS. REST waits up to wait seconds (default 15, max 20): when done it returns 200 with the result, otherwise 202 with Location: /api/public/v1/jobs/{job_id}. The final status is succeeded, failed, cancelled or unknown.
Needs an idempotency key (Idempotency-Key, 8–128 characters). Retrying with the same key never repeats the action.
A job that ends unknown may already have happened on X: never resend it with a new idempotency key.
