Overview

This guide shows you how to create and manage scheduled social media posts across supported platforms using the Dash API. You can publish posts immediately, schedule them for a future time, or save them as drafts. This allows you to automate content publishing directly from your own tools or workflows.

Supported Platforms

The Scheduler API supports the following platforms:

Instagram
Facebook
TikTok
YouTube
X
Threads
LinkedIn
Snapchat
Pinterest
Bluesky

Use Case

You can use the scheduling API to automate and manage social publishing directly from your own tools.

Content Calendar Automation

Schedule posts across multiple platforms from your internal CMS or content calendar. This allows marketing teams to plan campaigns without using the Dash UI.

Product Launch Scheduling

Queue posts to publish at exact times during launches, events, or announcements. Posts can be scheduled days or weeks in advance.

Draft Review Workflows

Save posts as drafts so teams can review content before publishing.

Bulk Post Scheduling

Programmatically schedule large batches of posts across platforms, useful for agencies or large content pipelines.

Before You Start

You’ll need:

API Key: Get this from the Dash Social Developer section
Brand ID: Available in your developer settings or next to your brand name in the platform

See more details here:

API Quickstart

Make your first API call in less than a minute and confirm your API key is working.

Scheduling Workflow

Scheduling a post with the Dash API follows three steps:

Upload media to the Dash Library
Create a scheduled post for the platform
Manage the post using the returned id from the scheduler response

Key Concepts

Scheduler `id`

Returned when a scheduled post is created
Used to retrieve, update, or delete the post

`status`

Defines how the post should behave.

Status	Behavior
`AUTOPUBLISHING`	Post is set to publish immediately
`SCHEDULED`	Post publishes at the specified `timestamp`
`DRAFT`	Post is saved as a draft

`auto_publish`

Controls whether the post will publish automatically or require manual publishing.

Value	Behavior
`true`	The post will automatically publish at the scheduled time.
`false`	The post will not publish automatically. Users associated with the brand will receive a push notification in the Dash mobile app reminding them to publish the post.

Some fields are not available when auto_publish is disabled because they only work with automatic publishing:

first_comment is not supported for Instagram and Facebook when auto_publish is disabled.

`media_id`

Returned when media is uploaded to Dash
Used when attaching image or video media to a post
When scheduling a post, include this value inside the media_ids array
Required for some platforms, post types, and auto-publish posts
Not required for supported caption-only posts or some draft posts without media

Media Requirements by Platform

Media requirements vary by platform and post type.

Publishing Modes

Most platforms support three publishing behaviors.

Publish Immediately	`AUTOPUBLISHING`	`true`	Not required
Schedule for Later	`SCHEDULED`	`true`	Required
Save as Draft	`DRAFT`	`true` or `false`	Optional

Note

Some platforms do not support auto_publish: false.
LinkedIn, Snapchat and YouTube require auto_publish: true.
Threads and Bluesky always publish with auto_publish: true, even if false is provided (the value is ignored).
status controls the state of the post (draft, scheduled, or publishing immediately).
auto_publish controls the publishing method (auto-publish vs. send notification / publish via mobile).
A post with status: "DRAFT" can be created with either auto_publish: true or false, depending on platform support.

Implementation

Step 1: Upload Media (optional)

If your post includes images or videos, upload the media to the Dash Library first. This returns a media_id that you can include when creating the scheduled post.

If your post does not include media (for example, a text-only or link-based post), you can skip this step. Jump to Step 2

POST https://library-backend.dashsocial.com/brands/{brand_id}/media
body:
{
  "source": "UPLOAD",
  "source_id": "your-internal-id",
  "type": "UPLOADED",
  "url": "https://example.com/media.jpg",
  "meta": "{ \"filename\": \"filename.jpg\" }",
  "source_created_at": "2026-03-06T12:00:00Z"
}

GET https://scheduler.dashsocial.com/{platform}/scheduled_posts?brand_ids={brand_id}&start={start}&end={end}&sort=TIMESTAMP&media_v2=true

Example:

GET https://scheduler.dashsocial.com/instagram/scheduled_posts?brand_ids=2000&start=2026-03-22T00:00:00&end=2026-03-28T23:59:59&sort=TIMESTAMP&media_v2=true

Query Parameters

Parameter	Description
`brand_ids`	Required. The ID of the brand whose scheduled posts you want to retrieve.
`start`	Recommended. Start of the date range (ISO 8601 format with timezone offset, for example `2026-03-22T00:00:00`). Omitting this may result in slow response times.
`end`	Recommended. End of the date range (ISO 8601 format with timezone offset, for example `2026-03-28T23:59:59`). Omitting this may result in slow response times.

Notes

Replace {platform} in the URL with the platform path for the channel you want to query. See the Platform Comparison table for the full list of endpoint paths.
start and end are optional but strongly recommended. Without them, the API will query all posts for the brand, which can result in slow response times.
