For an Instagram account, send `media_id` from `GET /accounts/{account_id}/media`. For an X account, send `post_url`. The campaign must accept the platform of the account (see `platforms` on the campaign), or the request returns 422. The campaign runs the same checks as in the ClipStake app. A clip starts as `pending`. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /creator-api/openapi.json post /clips openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Clipstake Creator API description: >- Submit your Instagram and X posts as clips to the campaigns that ClipStake opened to your account, and follow your clips. version: 0.1.0 servers: - url: https://app.clipstake.com/api/v1/creator security: [] paths: /clips: post: tags: - Clips summary: Submit a clip description: >- Submits one of your posts to a campaign.
