# Social Newsfeed

> Pull recent social posts from a person’s resolved profiles.

- **Endpoint:** `POST https://api.nyne.ai/person/newsfeed`
- **Group:** Person APIs (https://api.nyne.ai/documentation/person.md)
- **Auth:** `X-API-Key` + `X-API-Secret` headers
- **Mode:** Asynchronous - submit returns a `request_id` (normally with `202 Accepted`); poll `GET /person/newsfeed?request_id=<request_id>` with the same auth headers until the endpoint reports a terminal response. Where supported, a `callback_url` can notify you when queued work finishes; follow this endpoint's retrieval notes.
- **HTML version:** https://api.nyne.ai/documentation/person/newsfeed

Returns recent social posts and engagement data for a profile URL on a supported social media site. The request is queued and returns a `request_id` (status `processing`, or `pending` when a `callback_url` is supplied); poll the status endpoint or wait for the callback.

## Authentication

All `/person/*` and `/company/*` endpoints authenticate with an API key and secret sent as HTTP headers on every request: `X-API-Key` and `X-API-Secret`. Create keys from your Nyne.ai dashboard and keep the secret server-side. Rate limits: 100 requests/minute, 1,000 requests/hour. Full guide: https://api.nyne.ai/documentation/authentication.md

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `social_media_url` | string | **yes** | Profile URL on a supported social media site. Required. | "https://linkedin.com/in/janedoe" |
| `limit` | integer | no | Number of posts to return. Default 10, must be 1-1000. | 10 |
| `posts_after` | string | no | Only return posts on/after this date. Must be `YYYY-MM-DD`. Posts without a parseable date are always included. | "2025-01-01" |
| `callback_url` | string | no | If set, the completed result is POSTed here when the job finishes. Must be a valid HTTP(S) URL on an allowed host when a callback allow-list is configured. | "https://hooks.example.com/result" |

## Polling for the result

A newly queued submit normally returns `202 Accepted` with a `request_id`. Poll the same path until `status` is `completed` (results stay available afterwards). Where supported, pass a `callback_url` on the submit to receive a webhook when queued work finishes; keep the documented GET as a recovery and retrieval path:

```bash
curl "https://api.nyne.ai/person/newsfeed?request_id=<request_id>" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-API-Secret: YOUR_API_SECRET"
```

## Credit usage

| Item | Credits | Condition |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Newsfeed | 2 | 2 credits per 10 posts returned, rounded up (e.g. 1-10 → 2, 11-20 → 4, up to ~200) |
| No posts | 0 | Credits scale with posts actually returned, not requested |

## Responses

| Code | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `200` | Status poll result - returns the current request status and result/error fields when available |
| `202` | Request queued - poll the status endpoint (or wait for the callback) with the returned request_id |
| `400` | Malformed JSON, missing required parameters, or an invalid field |
| `401` | Missing or invalid API credentials |
| `402` | insufficient_credits - not enough credits to complete the request |
| `403` | subscription_required or ip_not_allowed |
| `404` | request_not_found - no matching request is available for this API key |
| `429` | rate_limit_exceeded |
| `503` | service_unavailable - the API is temporarily unavailable |
