# Post a tweet

`POST https://api.twittrapi.com/client/create`

Post a tweet, quote tweet, long tweet, community tweet or scheduled tweet from your account.

HTML page: https://www.twittrapi.com/docs/account-actions/client-create

> Account actions run with the session cookie of your own X account and go out through your own proxy. Use only accounts you control and follow X's rules; automated posting, following or liking can get the account limited or suspended. Treat the cookie like a password. Trial keys cannot call these endpoints.

## Parameters

| Name | In | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `cookie` | body | string | yes |  | Cookie header of your own logged-in X session. Must contain auth_token and ct0; guest_id is used when present. |
| `proxy` | body | string | yes |  | Your proxy, format http://user:pass@host:port. The requests to X go out through it. Used only for this request. |
| `text` | body | string | yes |  | Tweet text. Over 280 characters it is sent as a long post (note tweet). |
| `media_ids` | body | string[] | no |  | Media IDs from /client/media or /client/media/video. |
| `possibly_sensitive` | body | boolean | no | false | Mark the media as sensitive. |
| `conversation_control_mode` | body | string | no |  | Who can reply: only_follows, only_verified or only_mentioned. Not used for community tweets. |
| `quote_url` | body | string | no |  | URL of a tweet to quote. |
| `community_id` | body | string | no |  | Post into this community. |
| `is_note_tweet` | body | boolean | no | false | Force a long post even for short text. |
| `schedule_time` | body | integer | no |  | Unix time in seconds. When set, the tweet is scheduled instead of posted; only text and media are used. |

Body parameters are sent as a JSON object with `Content-Type: application/json`.

## Response

Wrapper built by the API: {"status_code": <X status>, "response": "<X response body as a string>"}. The HTTP status is X's status when X answered 4xx or 5xx, otherwise 200. Parse response a second time to get X's JSON.

With `format=simple`: {data: Tweet}: the tweet you just posted. With schedule_time: {data: {success: true, scheduledTweetId}}. When X reports an error inside the wrapper (for example a tweet that is already liked), the usual wrapper is returned unchanged.

## Errors

| Status | When |
| --- | --- |
| 400 | The body is not valid JSON. |
| 422 | A required field is missing (including proxy), an ID is not numeric, or the cookie has no ct0. Also: the account is suspended, X rejected the session, or the text was already posted. |
| 407 | The proxy is unreachable or timed out. |
| X's status | Any status X answers with (for example 401, 403, 404): passed through with X's body. |

Shared errors (401 missing key, 402 no balance, 429 rate limit, 5xx) are listed on https://www.twittrapi.com/docs/helpful-infos/error-handling. Calls that fail with 400, 408, 409 or a 5xx error are refunded.

## Example request

  --data '{"cookie":"auth_token=...; ct0=...","proxy":"http://user:pass@host:port","text":"Hello from the API"}'
```

Python:

```python
import httpx

resp = httpx.post(
    "https://api.twittrapi.com/client/create",
    headers={"X-API-KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
    json={
        "cookie": "auth_token=...; ct0=...",
        "proxy": "http://user:pass@host:port",
        "text": "Hello from the API",
    },
    timeout=60,
)
print(resp.status_code, resp.json())
```

Node.js:

```js
const resp = await fetch("https://api.twittrapi.com/client/create", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "X-API-KEY": process.env.TWITTRAPI_API_KEY, "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    cookie: "auth_token=...; ct0=...",
    proxy: "http://user:pass@host:port",
    text: "Hello from the API",
  }),
});
console.log(resp.status, await resp.json());
