What this skill does

# Upload-Post API

Post content to multiple social media platforms with a single API call.

## Documentation

- Full API docs: https://docs.upload-post.com
- LLM-friendly: https://docs.upload-post.com/llm.txt

## Setup

1. Create account at [upload-post.com](https://upload-post.com)
2. Connect your social media accounts
3. Create a **Profile** (e.g., "mybrand") - this links your connected accounts
4. Generate an **API Key** from dashboard
5. Use the profile name as `user` parameter in API calls

## Authentication

```
Authorization: Apikey YOUR_API_KEY
```

Base URL: `https://api.upload-post.com/api`

The `user` parameter in all endpoints refers to your **profile name** (not username), which determines which connected social accounts receive the content.
