Create a draft

Parameters

• cookiebody · string · required

  Cookie header of your own logged-in X session: auth_token=...; ct0=... (guest_id is used when present). How to copy it: /docs/x-session.

• proxybody · string · required

  Your proxy, format http://user:pass@host:port. The requests to X go out through it. Used only for this request.

• textbody · string · optional

  Draft text, up to 25,000 characters. Either text or media_ids is required.

• media_idsbody · string[] · optional

  Up to 4 media IDs from /client/media or /client/media/video (numeric strings).

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

Notes

• No simple format: with format=simple the answer is the usual {status_code, response} wrapper.
• The cookie and proxy fields: Your X session (cookie).

Example request

curl -X POST 'https://api.twittrapi.com/client/drafts/create' \
  --header 'X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"cookie":"auth_token=...; ct0=...","proxy":"http://user:pass@host:port","text":"Post this later"}'

import httpx

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

const resp = await fetch("https://api.twittrapi.com/client/drafts/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: "Post this later",
  }),
});
console.log(resp.status, await resp.json());

Base URL https://api.twittrapi.com, key in the X-API-KEY header. The SDKs do not wrap account actions, so the examples are plain HTTP calls.

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. On success response holds the new draft and its ID.

In the raw format, field names and nesting come from X and can change without notice. See Response format.

Errors

• 400The body is not valid JSON.
• 422A 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.
• 407The proxy is unreachable or timed out.
• 422Neither text nor media_ids is set, text is over 25,000 characters, or media_ids has more than 4 items or an ID that is not numeric.
• X'sAny status X answers with (for example 401, 403, 404): passed through with X's body.

Errors every endpoint can return (401, 402, 403, 404, 408, 409, 429, 5xx), and which of them are charged, are on the Errors page. Calls that fail with 400, 408, 409 or a 5xx error are refunded.
