Platform Updates: Posting Endpoints

We have made a few recent additions to our posting APIs that allow more control when creating posts.

You can now

• Set a custom slug for the post permalink using the slug parameter.
• Disable or enable the publicizing of posts, or only publicize to certain services (Twitter, Facebook, etc) using the publicize parameter.
• Pass a custom message to the above publicize services using the publicize_message parameter.
• Set the status of a post as “pending review” by passing pending to the status parameter.

When getting a post you can now

• Find the featured image for a post using featured_image which will return a URL.
