Post to LinkedIn Page with the 1Post API

Post to LinkedIn Page from code with one request: POST /v1/posts with your Page id, the text and a schedule_at time. LinkedIn Page text is limited to 3,000 characters, counted by code points. 1Post allows up to 18 posts a day for each connected Page, and a dry run checks a post against every rule first.

Connect LinkedIn Page first

  1. 01

    Open Accounts in 1Post and choose Connect.

  2. 02

    Pick LinkedIn.

  3. 03

    Sign in with LinkedIn and approve access for the Page you want to post to.

  4. 04

    Choose the Page in 1Post. It is ready to pick in the composer.

Then GET /v1/accounts returns the id of the LinkedIn Page Page to use in the request.

LinkedIn Page posts go into one of the account's Pages; GET /v1/accounts/{id}/targets lists them.

Send a post to LinkedIn Page

Schedule a post
curl https://api.get1post.com/v1/posts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ONEPOST_API_KEY" \

  -d '{"accounts":["ACCOUNT_ID"],"text":"Our spring catalogue is out.","schedule_at":"2026-11-02T15:00:00Z"}'

The reply is 202 with the post (status scheduled) and one destination for LinkedIn Page, which moves from queued to published or failed.

Good to know for LinkedIn Page

A LinkedIn Page post is published as the Page, so the member who connected it needs a Page role that can post: administrator, content admin or direct sponsored content poster.

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": "linkedin_page refuses this post: LinkedIn Page counts 3,032 of 3,000 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 LinkedIn Page with an API key?

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

What happens if a LinkedIn Page 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 LinkedIn Page posts can I send in a day?

Up to 18 for each connected Page. A request that would pass that answers daily_cap with the time the day frees up.
