fopost

Official Python SDK for the FoPost API. Schedule and publish to +30 social platforms from your code.

pip install fopost

Requires Python 3.10 or newer. Built on httpx and pydantic v2, fully typed.

0.x release. The public API is still settling and minor versions may contain breaking changes. Pin an exact version if that matters to you.

Quick start

from fopost import Fopost

client = Fopost(api_key="fp_...")  # or set FOPOST_API_KEY

workspace = client.workspaces.list()[0]
accounts = client.accounts.list(workspace_id=workspace.id)

post = client.posts.create(
    workspace_id=workspace.id,
    content="Hello from Python",
    accounts=[a.id for a in accounts],
)

client.posts.publish(post.id)

content takes a string for a single block, or a list for a thread:

client.posts.create(
    workspace_id=workspace.id,
    content=[
        "First post in the thread",
        {
            "text": "Second one, with an image",
            "media": [
                {"type": "image", "name": "chart.png", "url": "https://.../chart.png"},
            ],
        },
    ],
    accounts=[a.id for a in accounts],
)

Scheduling

status is "draft" or "scheduled"; a scheduled post needs schedule_at. To send something out now, create it and call publish.

from datetime import datetime, timezone

client.posts.create(
    workspace_id=workspace.id,
    status="scheduled",
    schedule_at=datetime(2026, 9, 1, 10, 0, tzinfo=timezone.utc),
    content="Scheduled with the SDK",
    accounts=[accounts[0].id],
)

Pagination

posts.list returns one page and iterates over its items directly. posts.iter walks every page for you:

page = client.posts.list(workspace_id=workspace.id, status="published", per_page=50)
print(f"{page.meta.total} published posts")
for post in page:
    print(post.id, post.status)

# Every post, one page fetched at a time
for post in client.posts.iter(workspace_id=workspace.id):
    print(post.id)

# Or page by page, when you want the meta
for page in client.posts.iter_pages(workspace_id=workspace.id):
    print(page.meta.current_page, len(page))

AI features

balance = client.ai.credits()
print(f"{balance.credits_remaining} of {balance.credits_total} credits left")

result = client.ai.generate_caption(
    current_caption="shipping a new feature",
    platforms=["twitter", "linkedin"],
)
print(result.caption)

rewrite and repurpose_url are wired the same way:

rewrites = client.ai.rewrite(
    content="Long article-style draft...",
    platforms=["twitter", "linkedin", "bluesky"],
)
for variant in rewrites.results:
    print(variant.platform, variant.content)

repurposed = client.ai.repurpose_url(
    url="https://example.com/blog/post",
    platforms=["twitter", "linkedin", "bluesky", "threads"],
)

API keys reach credits and generate_caption. rewrite and repurpose_url currently require a signed-in dashboard session and answer 401 to an API key. They are here so the surface is complete once the server opens them up.

Configuration

Fopost(
    api_key="fp_...",  # or FOPOST_API_KEY
    base_url="https://api.fopost.com/v1",  # override for a dev server
    timeout=30.0,  # seconds, or an httpx.Timeout
    max_retries=3,  # total attempts on a 429
    http_client=my_httpx_client,  # bring your own transport
)

The client is a context manager, and closes its transport on exit:

with Fopost() as client:
    client.posts.list(workspace_id=workspace.id)

A 429 is retried automatically, waiting for the interval the API asks for in Retry-After (delta-seconds or an HTTP date, capped at 60s). max_retries counts total attempts, so the default of 3 means two retries.

Error handling

Every non-2xx response raises FopostError or one of its subclasses, carrying the API's status, code, and message.

from fopost import Fopost, FopostError, PaymentRequiredError, RateLimitError

try:
    client.posts.publish("9b2f6c1e-...")
except PaymentRequiredError as err:
    print(f"Out of credits — upgrade at {err.upgrade_url}")
except RateLimitError as err:
    print(f"Rate limited, retry in {err.retry_after}s")
except FopostError as err:
    print(f"API {err.status} ({err.code}): {err.message}")

Resources

For an endpoint the SDK does not wrap yet, client.request sends an authenticated call and hands back the decoded body:

client.request("GET", "/analytics/summary", params={"workspace_id": workspace.id})

Example

examples/create_post.py creates a post against a running API:

export FOPOST_API_KEY=fp_...
export FOPOST_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080/v1
python examples/create_post.py "Hello from the Python SDK" --publish
