Create Post

A post can exist in the following:

• User feed - collection of posts for a user's timeline

• Community feed - collection of posts from members of the community

• Content - external content

In creating a post, these are the following parameters:

Parameter	Description	Attributes
targetId	ID of the user, community, or content. If you want the post to exist in a user feed, you need to provide the userID, etc..
targetType	Where you want the post to exist	user - post will exist in the user feed community - post will exist in the community feed content - post will exist in the external content
tags	Keywords you want to associate with your post. This is optional. Up to five tags can be added and each tag can be up to 24 characters long

Post target type

The targetType parameter can be any of the following:

• user

• community

• content

If you want the post to belong to a user feed, targetType should be user and targetId is the ID of the user. Otherwise, if you want it to belong to a community, targetType and targetId should be community and the ID of the community respectively.

For an external content post or a post in which the targetType is content, it can stand on its own without belonging to a user or community. You can create a post object of this type if you want to associate the post to a content (e.g. a news article) in your app which is external to Amity Social Cloud.
