# Retry the failed accounts of a post

> Page: https://docs.flung.dev/reference/api/post-v1-posts-id-retry. Index of every page: https://docs.flung.dev/llms.txt

Schedules the targets that failed for now; those already published are left alone.

`POST /v1/posts/{id}/retry`

## TL;DR

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does it do? | Retry the failed accounts of a post. |
| What does it need? | An API key or an OAuth access token. |
| What does it take? | `id` in the path. |
| What does it return? | Status 200 with a body of type [`Post`](https://docs.flung.dev/reference/api/schemas.md#post). |
| In the SDK? | `flung.posts.retry()` |
| As an MCP tool? | [`retry_post`](https://docs.flung.dev/reference/mcp/retry-post.md) |
| What can go wrong? | `401` Missing, unknown, revoked or expired API key; `404` No such post in this workspace; `422` The request failed validation; `429` Too many requests for this credential; wait for `retry-after` seconds. Every failure has the same [error shape](https://docs.flung.dev/reference/api/errors.md). |

## Example

**curl**

```bash
curl -X POST 'https://api.flung.dev/v1/posts/post_aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/retry' \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $FLUNG_API_KEY"
```

**TypeScript**

```ts
import { Flung } from '@flung.dev/sdk'

const flung = new Flung({ apiKey: process.env.FLUNG_API_KEY! })
const result = await flung.posts.retry({
  id: 'post_aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa',
})
```

**fetch**

```js
const response = await fetch('https://api.flung.dev/v1/posts/post_aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/retry', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.FLUNG_API_KEY}`,
  },
})
if (!response.ok) throw new Error((await response.json()).error.message)
const result = await response.json()
```

A successful answer looks like this:

```json
{
  "id": "post_aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
  "status": "scheduled",
  "content": "string",
  "mediaIds": [
    "string"
  ],
  "platformOverrides": {},
  "publishAt": "2026-11-01T09:00:00.000Z",
  "createdAt": "2026-11-01T09:00:00.000Z",
  "updatedAt": "2026-11-01T09:00:00.000Z",
  "targets": [
    {
      "id": "string",
      "accountId": "string",
      "platform": "x",
      "status": "pending",
      "platformPostId": "string",
      "url": "string",
      "error": {},
      "publishedAt": "2026-11-01T09:00:00.000Z"
    }
  ]
}
```
