Constructs the format cannot express (code blocks, horizontal rules) degrade to plain text and are reported in a `warnings` array. Non-http(s) image or link URLs are rejected with 400. Supports `Idempotency-Key` (max 64 chars): retries with the same key and body replay the original response with `Idempotency-Replayed: true`. Main account only in v1. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi.yaml post /v1/articles openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: SuperX API version: 1.0.0 description: > The SuperX public API: your Twitter/X content, analytics, audience and scheduling data over REST. All endpoints require an API key (`Authorization: Bearer sxk_...`) except `GET /v1/docs`. Keys are created in the SuperX app under Account > API / MCP / CLI and are server-side secrets. Timestamps are UTC ISO-8601 in both directions; inputs must carry an explicit `Z` or numeric offset. Every authenticated response carries `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining` and `X-RateLimit-Reset` headers. contact: name: SuperX url: https://superx.so servers: - url: https://api.superx.so security: - apiKey: [] tags: - name: Identity - name: Content - name: Analytics - name: Inspiration - name: Audience - name: Contact Lists - name: Signals - name: Media - name: Scheduling - name: Tags - name: Context - name: Queue - name: Articles - name: Meta paths: /v1/articles: post: tags: - Articles summary: Create an article draft description: > Creates a draft. `content_markdown` (max 400KB) converts to the article's stored rich-text form: headings (h1-h3), bullet and numbered lists (one nesting level), blockquotes, bold/italic/strikethrough, links, images by http(s) URL, and bare X post URLs alone on a line as embeds.
