About this skill

Zernio CLI

Schedule and publish social media posts across 13 platforms (Instagram, TikTok, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, YouTube, Bluesky, Pinterest, Reddit, Snapchat, Telegram, Google Business) from any terminal or AI agent.

Setup

npm install -g @zernio/cli

# Log in via browser (recommended)
zernio auth:login

# Or set your API key manually
zernio auth:set --key "sk_your-api-key"

# Verify it works
zernio auth:check

Or set the env var directly: export ZERNIO_API_KEY="sk_your-api-key"

Core Workflow

The typical flow for scheduling a post:

# 1. See your profiles
zernio profiles:list

# 2. See connected social accounts
zernio accounts:list

# 3. Schedule a post
zernio posts:create --text "Hello world!" --accounts <accountId1>,<accountId2> --scheduledAt "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z"

# 4. Check post status
zernio posts:list --status scheduled

# 5. View analytics (requires analytics add-on)
zernio analytics:posts --profileId <profileId>

Output Format

All commands output JSON by default (for AI agents and piping). Add --pretty for indented output.

Errors always return: {"error": true, "message": "...", "status": 401}

Tips for AI Agents

  • Always call zernio accounts:list first to get valid account IDs before creating posts
  • Use zernio accounts:health to check if accounts are rate-limited before posting
  • Post IDs from zernio posts:create can be used with zernio posts:get to check publish status
  • For multi-image posts, upload each file with zernio media:upload first, then pass all URLs comma-separated to --media
  • Schedule posts at least 5 minutes in the future for reliable delivery
  • For inbox commands, you always need an --accountId to specify which social account to use
  • Broadcasts and sequences work across all inbox platforms (Instagram, Facebook, Telegram, X, WhatsApp, Bluesky, Reddit)
  • Comment-to-DM automations currently support Instagram and Facebook
  • Use zernio contacts:list to get contact IDs before enrolling in sequences or adding to broadcasts
