Introduction

Create AI-powered UGC videos for your social media with Agent Media — generate engaging video content and schedule it directly with Postiz. Perfect for OpenClaw 🦞

For your AI agent to work best with Postiz, install the skill by running:

npx skills add gitroomhq/postiz-agent

Or load the SKILL md file from github.com/gitroomhq/postiz-agent.

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
pnpm

npm install -g postiz

pnpm install -g postiz

Verify the installation:

postiz --help

Authentication

Option 1: OAuth2 (Recommended)

Authenticate using the device flow — no client ID or secret needed:

postiz auth:login

This will:

Display a one-time code in your terminal
Open your browser to authorize
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.
