Postman Setup

Get up and running with Postman in under 5 minutes.

1. Get your API key

1. Log in to dopost
2. Open Settings → API keys
3. Click Generate Key, give it a name (e.g. "Postman testing"), and click Generate
4. Copy the key immediately

2. Download and import the collection

1. Download the collection file:

2. Open Postman
3. Click Import (top-left)
4. Drag the downloaded file into the import window, or click Upload Files and select it
5. Click Import

You should see a collection called dopost API v1 in the sidebar.

3. Set your API key

The collection already includes a BASE_URL variable pointing to https://dopost.co. You only need to set your API key:

1. Click on the dopost API v1 collection in the sidebar
2. Go to the Variables tab
3. In the API_KEY row, paste your API key in the Current value column
4. Click Save (Ctrl+S / Cmd+S)

4. Test: List accounts

1. Open GET List Accounts in the collection
2. Click Send
3. Copy an id from the response — you'll need it next

5. Test: Publish a post

1. Open POST Publish Post
2. In the Body tab, replace REPLACE_WITH_ACCOUNT_ID with the account ID you copied:

{
  "accountId": "your_account_id",
  "text": "Hello from the dopost API!",
  "publishAt": null
}

{
  "accountId": "your_account_id",
  "text": "Hello from the dopost API!",
  "publishAt": null
}

3. Click Send

The collection auto-saves the jobId for the next request.

6. Test: Poll post status

1. Open GET Post Status
2. Click Send — the jobId is already set from the previous step
