Post to Kick with the 1Post API

Post to Kick from code with one request: POST /v1/posts with your channel id, the text and a schedule_at time. Kick text is limited to 500 characters, counted by the characters a reader sees. 1Post allows up to 20 posts a day for each connected channel, and a dry run checks a post against every rule first.

Good to know for Kick

A Kick post is a plain text chat line in your own channel. Kick also limits a message to 2,048 bytes in UTF-8, so text with many emoji or non-Latin letters can reach that before 500 characters.

Check the post before it is queued

Add "dry_run": true to test a post: nothing is kept, a valid one answers 200 and a broken one answers 422 naming the rule.

A refused request, abridged
{
  "error": {
    "code": "invalid_for_platform",
    "message": "kick refuses this post: Kick counts 532 of 500 characters in part 1. (text_too_long).",
    "fix": "Fix the rule named in the message and send the post again.",
    "retryable": false,
    "request_id": "REQUEST_ID"
  }
}

An assistant connected to the MCP server sends the same fields to create_post; set one up.

Questions

Can I post to Kick with an API key?

Yes. A key with write scope can create, change and cancel Kick posts for the workspace it belongs to, with the role of the member who made it. See API authentication.

What happens if a Kick post breaks a rule?

The request is refused with invalid_for_platform and the failing rule is named. Fix it and send the request again, or send it with dry_run to test the fix first.

How many Kick posts can I send in a day?

Up to 20 for each connected channel. A request that would pass that answers daily_cap with the time the day frees up.

Does Kick take images or links in a chat message?

Kick chat takes text only from 1Post, so write the link into the message itself.
