## Input {#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 |

| `max` | integer (10–2000) | No |  |

## Result {#output}

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.
