# Whop API: post and schedule from code

Post and schedule to Whop with the 1Post API and MCP server: the request, the reply, every rule it is checked against and a dry run.

Post to Whop from code with one request: POST /v1/posts with your forum id, the text and a schedule_at time. Whop has no text length that 1Post checks. 1Post allows up to 20 posts a day for each connected forum, and a dry run checks a post against every rule first.

## Connect Whop first

1. Open Accounts in 1Post and choose Connect.
2. Pick Whop.
3. Sign in with Whop and approve access for the forum you want to post to.
4. Choose the forum in 1Post. It is ready to pick in the composer.

Then GET /v1/accounts returns the id of the Whop forum to use in the request.

## Send a post to Whop

**Schedule a post**

```bash
curl https://api.get1post.com/v1/posts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ONEPOST_API_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: whop-first-post" \
  -d '{"accounts":["ACCOUNT_ID"],"text":"Members: the next session is up.","schedule_at":"2026-11-02T15:00:00Z"}'
```

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

## What you can send to Whop

- Forum post with attachments
- Replies

## Whop rules the request is checked against

| Rule | What 1Post checks |
| --- | --- |
| Text limit | No length check |
| Media accepted | Images, Video, Documents |
| Threads | No |
| First comment | Yes |
| Posts per day, per connected account (1Post) | 20 |

The same table with sources is on the [Whop specs page](https://get1post.com/platforms/whop/specs.md).

## Whop options in the request

- First comment: add first_comment with text to an account object, and delay_min if it should wait.

## 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**

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "invalid_for_platform",
    "message": "whop refuses this post: Whop needs some content. (empty_text).",
    "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](https://get1post.com/docs/mcp.md) sends the same fields to create_post; [set one up](https://get1post.com/assistants.md).

## Questions

**Can I post to Whop with an API key?**

Yes. A key with write scope can create, change and cancel Whop posts for the workspace it belongs to, with the role of the member who made it. See [API authentication](https://get1post.com/docs/api-authentication.md).

**What happens if a Whop 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 Whop posts can I send in a day?**

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