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, 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: Validation description: Dry-run a post without publishing it. - name: Webhooks description: Endpoints Nylon calls when a post finishes or a profile stops working. paths: /v1/profiles/{profileId}: parameters: - $ref: '#/components/parameters/ProfileId' get: tags: - Profiles summary: Retrieve a profile description: Returns one connected profile. operationId: getProfile responses: '200': description: The profile. content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/ProfileResponse' '401': $ref: '#/components/responses/Unauthorized' '404': $ref: '#/components/responses/NotFound' '429': $ref: '#/components/responses/RateLimited' '500': $ref: '#/components/responses/InternalError' components: parameters: ProfileId: name: profileId in: path required: true description: The Nylon id of the connected profile. schema: type: string example: cly7p2q4k0001x8b3f2n9d0aa schemas: ProfileResponse: type: object required: - data properties: data: $ref: '#/components/schemas/Profile' Profile: type: object required: - id - network - external_id - name - status - suspended - connected_at properties: id: type: string description: >- Stable Nylon identifier for the connected profile.
