X (Twitter) Settings

What X supports in Postiz

Character limits, media rules and how these settings appear in the app.

Settings Schema

When creating a post for X (Twitter), use the following settings schema:

{
  "settings": {
    "__type": "x",
    "who_can_reply_post": "everyone",
    "community": "",
    "made_with_ai": false,
    "paid_partnership": false
  }
}

Fields

Field	Type	Required	Description
`__type`	`string`	Yes	Must be `x`
`who_can_reply_post`	`string`	Yes	Who can reply to the post
`community`	`string`	No	X Community URL
`made_with_ai`	`boolean`	No	Mark the post as containing AI-generated content. Defaults to `false`
`paid_partnership`	`boolean`	No	Mark the post as a paid promotion. Defaults to `false`
`post_type`	`string`	No	`post` (default) or `article`
`article_title`	`string`	Conditional	Required when `post_type` is `article`
`article_status`	`string`	Conditional	`draft` or `published`. Required when `post_type` is `article`
`article_cover`	`object`	No	Cover image for the article. Only used when `post_type` is `article`

who_can_reply_post is required for a normal post but ignored for an article, since X articles do not carry a reply setting.

`post_type`

Value	Description
`post`	A regular short post. This is the default
`article`	A long-form X article

Long-form articles

Setting post_type to article publishes an X article instead of a post. The content is then treated as HTML rather than plain text, and these tags are kept: p, h1, h2, h3, ul, ol, li, strong, u, a.

{
  "settings": {
    "__type": "x",
    "post_type": "article",
    "article_title": "Why we rebuilt our scheduler",
    "article_status": "published",
    "article_cover": { "id": "img-123", "path": "https://uploads.postiz.com/cover.jpg" }
  }
}

Constraints worth knowing:

The character limit rises to 100,000 in article mode.
Articles take images only, no video.
An article saved as a draft cannot have thread replies attached.
article_title and article_status are both required once post_type is article. Omitting either is a validation error.

`who_can_reply_post`

Controls who can reply to your post.

Value	Description
`everyone`	Anyone can reply
`following`	Only people you follow can reply
`mentionedUsers`	Only mentioned users can reply
`subscribers`	Only your subscribers can reply
`verified`	Only verified accounts can reply

`community`

Optional X Community URL. Must match the format:

https://x.com/i/communities/1493446837214187523

Leave empty or omit to post to your main timeline.
