The Postiz CLI is a command-line tool for automating social media posting across 28+ platforms. It wraps the Public API so you can schedule posts, manage integrations, and upload media directly from your terminal or shell scripts.

​
Installation

npm install -g postiz
Verify the installation: 
postiz --help

​
Authentication

Authenticate using the device flow — no client ID or secret needed: 
postiz auth:login
This will:
  1. Display a one-time code in your terminal
  2. Open your browser to authorize
  3. Automatically save credentials to ~/.postiz/credentials.json
# Check current auth status
postiz auth:status

# Remove stored credentials
postiz auth:logout

​
Option 2: API Key

Set your Postiz API key as an environment variable. You can get your API key from the Postiz Settings page. 
export POSTIZ_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
Add this to your shell profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, etc.) so it persists across sessions.
OAuth2 credentials take priority over the API key when both are present.

​
Custom API URL (self-hosted)

If you’re running a self-hosted Postiz instance, point the CLI to your server: 
export POSTIZ_API_URL=https://your-postiz-server.com

​
Self-Hosting the Auth Server

By default, postiz auth:login uses the hosted auth server at cli-auth.postiz.com. If you want to self-host the OAuth2 device flow server, see the Authentication page for the full setup guide.
