## Core Workflow

The fundamental pattern for using Postiz CLI:

1. **Discover** - List integrations and get their settings
2. **Fetch** - Use integration tools to retrieve dynamic data (flairs, playlists, companies)
3. **Prepare** - Upload media files if needed
4. **Post** - Create posts with content, media, and platform-specific settings
5. **Analyze** - Track performance with platform and post-level analytics
6. **Resolve** - If analytics returns `{"missing": true}`, run `posts:missing` to list provider content, then `posts:connect` to link it

```bash
# 1. Discover
postiz integrations:list
postiz integrations:settings <integration-id>

# 2. Fetch (if needed)
postiz integrations:trigger <integration-id> <method> -d '{"key":"value"}'

# 3. Prepare
postiz upload image.jpg

# 4. Post
postiz posts:create -c "Content" -m "image.jpg" -i "<integration-id>"

# 5. Analyze
postiz analytics:platform <integration-id> -d 30
postiz analytics:post <post-id> -d 7

# 6. Resolve (if analytics returns {"missing": true})
postiz posts:missing <post-id>
postiz posts:connect <post-id> --release-id "<content-id>"
```

## Essential Commands

### Setup

```bash
# Required environment variable
export POSTIZ_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

# Optional custom API URL
export POSTIZ_API_URL=https://custom-api-url.com
```

### Integration Discovery

```bash
# List all connected integrations
postiz integrations:list

# Get settings schema for specific integration
postiz integrations:settings <integration-id>

# Trigger integration tool to fetch dynamic data
postiz integrations:trigger <integration-id> <method-name>
postiz integrations:trigger <integration-id> <method-name> -d '{"param":"value"}'
```

### Creating Posts

```bash
# Simple post (date is REQUIRED)
postiz posts:create -c "Content" -s "2024-12-31T12:00:00Z" -i "integration-id"

# Draft post
postiz posts:create -c "Content" -s "2024-12-31T12:00:00Z" -t draft -i "integration-id"

# Post with media
postiz posts:create -c "Content" -m "img1.jpg,img2.jpg" -s "2024-12-31T12:00:00Z" -i "integration-id"

# Post with comments (each with own media)
postiz posts:create \
  -c "Main post" -m "main.jpg" \
  -c "First comment" -m "comment1.jpg" \
  -c "Second comment" -m "comment2.jpg,comment3.jpg" \
  -s "2024-12-31T12:00:00Z" \
  -i "integration-id"

# Multi-platform post
postiz posts:create -c "Content" -s "2024-12-31T12:00:00Z" -i "twitter-id,linkedin-id,facebook-id"

# Platform-specific settings
postiz posts:create \
  -c "Content" \
  -s "2024-12-31T12:00:00Z" \
  --settings '{"subreddit":[{"value":{"subreddit":"programming","title":"My Post","type":"text"}}]}' \
  -i "reddit-id"

# Complex post from JSON file
postiz posts:create --json post.json
```

### Managing Posts

```bash
# List posts (defaults to last 30 days to next 30 days)
postiz posts:list

# List posts in date range
postiz posts:list --startDate "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z" --endDate "2024-12-31T23:59:59Z"

# Delete post
postiz posts:delete <post-id>
```

### Analytics

```bash
# Get platform analytics (default: last 7 days)
postiz analytics:platform <integration-id>

# Get platform analytics for last 30 days
postiz analytics:platform <integration-id> -d 30

# Get post analytics (default: last 7 days)
postiz analytics:post <post-id>

# Get post analytics for last 30 days
postiz analytics:post <post-id> -d 30
```

Returns an array of metrics (e.g. Followers, Impressions, Likes, Comments) with daily data points and percentage change over the period.

**⚠️ IMPORTANT: Missing Release ID Handling**

If `analytics:post` returns `{"missing": true}` instead of an analytics array, the post was published but the platform didn't return a usable post ID. You **must** resolve this before analytics will work:

```bash
# 1. analytics:post returns {"missing": true}
postiz analytics:post <post-id>

# 2. Get available content from the provider
postiz posts:missing <post-id>
# Returns: [{"id": "7321456789012345678", "url": "https://...cover.jpg"}, ...]

# 3. Connect the correct content to the post
postiz posts:connect <post-id> --release-id "7321456789012345678"

# 4. Now analytics will work
postiz analytics:post <post-id>
```

### Connecting Missing Posts

Some platforms (e.g. TikTok) don't return a post ID immediately after publishing. When this happens, the post's `releaseId` is set to `"missing"` and analytics are unavailable until resolved.

```bash
# List recent content from the provider for a post with missing release ID
postiz posts:missing <post-id>

# Connect a post to its published content
postiz posts:connect <post-id> --release-id "<content-id>"
```

Returns an empty array if the provider doesn't support this feature or if the post doesn't have a missing release ID.

### Media Upload

**⚠️ IMPORTANT:** Always upload files to Postiz before using them in posts. Many platforms (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube) **require verified URLs** and will reject external links.

```bash
# Upload file and get URL
postiz upload image.jpg

# Supports: images (PNG, JPG, GIF, WEBP, SVG), videos (MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WEBM),
# audio (MP3, WAV, OGG, AAC), documents (PDF, DOC, DOCX)

# Workflow: Upload → Extract URL → Use in post
VIDEO=$(postiz upload video.mp4)
VIDEO_PATH=$(echo "$VIDEO" | jq -r '.path')
postiz posts:create -c "Content" -s "2024-12-31T12:00:00Z" -m "$VIDEO_PATH" -i "tiktok-id"
```

## Common Patterns

### Pattern 1: Discover & Use Integration Tools

**Reddit - Get flairs for a subreddit:**
```bash
# Get Reddit integration ID
REDDIT_ID=$(postiz integrations:list | jq -r '.[] | select(.identifier=="reddit") | .id')

# Fetch available flairs
FLAIRS=$(postiz integrations:trigger "$REDDIT_ID" getFlairs -d '{"subreddit":"programming"}')
FLAIR_ID=$(echo "$FLAIRS" | jq -r '.output[0].id')

# Use in post
postiz posts:create \
  -c "My post content" \
  -s "2024-12-31T12:00:00Z" \
  --settings "{\"subreddit\":[{\"value\":{\"subreddit\":\"programming\",\"title\":\"Post Title\",\"type\":\"text\",\"is_flair_required\":true,\"flair\":{\"id\":\"$FLAIR_ID\",\"name\":\"Discussion\"}}}]}" \
  -i "$REDDIT_ID"
```

**YouTube - Get playlists:**
```bash
YOUTUBE_ID=$(postiz integrations:list | jq -r '.[] | select(.identifier=="youtube") | .id')
PLAYLISTS=$(postiz integrations:trigger "$YOUTUBE_ID" getPlaylists)
