Import a batch of posts from a CSV file

Jake Marsh · · New

If you plan posts in a spreadsheet, you can bring the whole sheet into Octopost. In the dashboard, go to Posts and click Import CSV. Scripts can send the same file to /api/posts/import.

Each row has the text, the networks, an optional time and up to four image or video links. Rows with a time are scheduled, and rows without one join your queue.

Octopost checks every row before saving anything. If any row has a problem, nothing is imported and you get each problem with its row number. Add ?dry_run=1 to check a file without saving it. The template and the column list are in the posts API docs.
