# Create LinkedIn post

> Publish ONE feed post under the account's own identity (wire create-post). Public and irreversible through this API: there is no delete verb here. Identity-bound: linkedin_account_sid REQUIRED, spends the posting bucket (the tightest write limit, 1200 s between posts), saturation returns 429. text is REQUIRED as a key but may be an EMPTY string when an image is attached; a call with neither non-blank text nor an image is a 422. At most ONE image, base64 only, no fetch-by-url. Body and alt text are published byte for byte, blank lines included. Nothing is stored here: the response carries the published post (urn, url, time, the body LinkedIn kept) plus the activity-log row.

Contract:
- MCP tool `create_linkedin_post`, registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_posting`, mount `linkedin.content`.
- Operation `action`, response envelope `action`.
- Flags: dangerous: the MCP layer gates it behind a preview/commit token, and the effect cannot be undone through this API.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/linkedin/openapi.yaml post /api/linkedin-posting/create-post
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: 'GTM API public contract: gtm.service.linkedin'
  description: >-
    Connected LinkedIn accounts and everything driven through them: account
    health and smart limits, conversations and messages, the connection graph,
    outbound posting, scraping, profile and company enrichment, and the
    antidetect browsers that execute it all.


    GENERATED. This document is projected from the Zod MCP tool registry in
    `product/mcp/gtm.mcp` (one tool per public endpoint, 1:1). Do not edit it by
    hand; edit the tool definition and regenerate with `pnpm openapi:public`.


    Surface: the public `/api` contract of `gtm.service.linkedin`, 159
    operations. This is the only OpenAPI document the platform publishes.
    Internal (`/internal`) and health endpoints are deliberately absent: they
    are not part of any contract, they can change without notice, and the
    service source is their only description.


    Conventions:

    - Auth is a bearer JWT, optionally narrowed by the `Team-SID` header.

    - Every success body is an MCP envelope: `success: true` plus one typed
    `operation` shape (`search`, `get`, `create`, `update`, `delete`, `metrics`,
    `group_by`, `action`), and a `meta` block with `trace_id` for support.

    - Every failure is the same `McpError` envelope with a code from a fixed
    16-code taxonomy, so a client maps errors once.

    - Lists page with `page_size` (0 to 500, default 50) plus an opaque forward
    `cursor`; `page_size: 0` returns counts only.

    - On `GET` and `DELETE`, object-valued query parameters (`filter`, `sort`)
    travel as JSON text and array-valued ones repeat as `name[]=value`.

    - The MCP-only `_meta` field (usage analytics) never reaches the backend and
    is not part of this contract.
