Publish to Social
Post a finished agent-media video (an R2 video_url from any of the video skills) to the user's connected social channels — TikTok, Instagram, or X. Works from three surfaces: REST, the CLI (agent-media social ...), and MCP tools (social_channels / social_connect / social_publish). All calls use the user's Authorization: Bearer ma_... token against https://api.agent-media.ai.
1. Connect a channel (one-time, requires the human)
GET /v1/social/providers -> connectable networks: tiktok, instagram, instagram-standalone, x
POST /v1/social/connect { provider } -> { url } # the user opens this OAuth url and authorizes
GET /v1/social/channels -> { channels: [{ id, name, provider, profile, picture }] }
DELETE /v1/social/channels/:channelId -> disconnect
The connect step returns an OAuth URL the human must open and authorize — an agent cannot complete OAuth itself. Once authorized, the channel appears in /v1/social/channels with an id you pass to publish.
CLI: agent-media social providers · agent-media social connect x · agent-media social channels.
MCP: social_connect { provider } (returns the URL for the user) · social_channels.
2. Publish a video
curl -X POST https://api.agent-media.ai/v1/social/publish \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ma_..." -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "video_url": "https://pub-...r2.dev/generation-outputs/<user>/<job>/...mp4",
"channel_ids": ["<channel-id-from-/channels>"],
"caption": "made with agent-media",
"type": "now" }'
CLI: agent-media social publish --video <url> --channels <id,id> --caption "..." (add --at <iso> to schedule).
MCP: social_publish { video_url, channel_ids, caption, type }.
video_url must be an agent-media R2 URL (the output of a video skill) — agent-media re-hosts it on the publishing provider for you. channel_ids come from /v1/social/channels. Per-network requirements (e.g. X reply settings) are filled in server-side; you don't send them.
Returns { success: true, media_id, post_ids: ["..."] }. A real post was created only when post_ids is non-empty — treat an empty post_ids as a failure, not a success.
Typical flow
- Produce a video →
make_ugc_video (or make_simple_selfie) → final_output.video_url.
- If the user has no connected channel, send them to connect (step 1) — you can't OAuth for them.
- Publish that
video_url to the chosen channel_ids; confirm post_ids came back.
Note: social operations run on a shared rate budget — don't poll; connect once and publish on demand.
