You address a post to connected profile ids; Nylon knows which network each one belongs to, what that network accepts, and how to get the media there. Character limits, media specs, upload protocols and threading rules are normalised before the request reaches a platform, and every failure comes back in one error taxonomy. ## Conventions - Request and response fields are `snake_case`. - Successful responses wrap the payload in `data`. List responses add `meta.pagination`. - Failures return `{ "error": { "code", "message", "details?" } }`. Branch on `code`; `message` is written for humans and may change. - Times are ISO 8601 with a `Z` offset. - Successful responses carry `RateLimit-Limit`, `RateLimit-Remaining` and `RateLimit-Reset`. A `429` carries those plus `Retry-After`. servers: - url: https://api.nylon.dev description: Production security: - bearerAuth: [] tags: - name: Posts description: Create, schedule, validate, inspect, edit and retry posts. - name: Profiles description: Social profiles connected to the authenticated Nylon account. - name: Connections description: Start a connection and see which networks are available. - name: Networks description: What each network accepts, as data. - name: Webhooks description: Endpoints Nylon calls when a post finishes or a profile stops working. - name: Media description: >- Getting a file to a URL a network can fetch, when you do not already host one. - name: Inbox description: >- Direct messages and comment threads on the connected accounts, and replies to them. paths: /v1/inbox/conversations/{conversationId}: parameters: - $ref: '#/components/parameters/ConversationId' get: tags: - Inbox summary: Retrieve a conversation description: One thread, with who it is with and how much is unread. operationId: getConversation responses: '200': description: The conversation. content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/ConversationResponse' '401': $ref: '#/components/responses/Unauthorized' '404': $ref: '#/components/responses/NotFound' '429': $ref: '#/components/responses/RateLimited' '500': $ref: '#/components/responses/InternalError' components: parameters: ConversationId: name: conversationId in: path required: true description: The Nylon id of the conversation. schema: type: string example: cly8a1b2c0001x8b3d4e5f0gg schemas: ConversationResponse: type: object required: - data properties: data: $ref: '#/components/schemas/Conversation' Conversation: type: object required: - id - profile_id - network - kind - status - unread_count - last_message properties: id: type: string profile_id: type: string description: The connected account this thread is on. profile_external_id: type: - string - 'null' description: >- That account's id on the network itself — a Page id, an Instagram account id — so a thread can be matched to an account without a second call. example: '102938475610111' network: $ref: '#/components/schemas/Network' kind: type: string enum: - dm - comment - mention description: A `comment` thread is public; a `dm` is not. external_id: type: string description: The thread's id on the network. participant: type: object properties: id: type: - string - 'null' name: type: - string - 'null' handle: type: - string - 'null' avatar_url: type: - string - 'null' url: type: - string - 'null' description: Where to open this on the network itself. status: type: string enum: - open - closed unread_count: type: integer description: Cleared only by `POST .../read`, never by reading the messages. last_message: type: object properties: text: type: - string - 'null' at: type: string format: date-time referral: type: - object - 'null' additionalProperties: true description: >- How the conversation started, when the network says so — an ad, a ref link, a post. created_at: type: string format: date-time ErrorResponse: type: object required: - error properties: error: $ref: '#/components/schemas/Error' Network: type: string description: A network Nylon publishes to. enum: - facebook - instagram - x - linkedin - pinterest - bluesky - threads - tiktok - youtube - google_business - mastodon - discord - dribbble - kick - twitch - whop - devto example: instagram Error: type: object required: - code - message properties: code: type: string description: The stable identifier to branch on. enum: - invalid_request - unauthorized - payment_required - forbidden - not_found - conflict - rate_limited - unsupported - publish_failed - internal_error example: unauthorized message: type: string description: Written for humans.
