# List posts and reels

GET https://api-chat.parstechai.com/v1/robots/{robot_id}/channels/{channel_id}/media

Returns the connected page's newest 100 posts and reels, newest first. `total_count` counts at most those 100, so paging always ends within them.

This is what lets you build a post picker: your customer chooses which post a comment rule applies to, then you pass that `media_id` as `trigger.media_id`. Without it you would be asking an end user to paste a 17-digit id by hand.

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Your API key, issued by ParsChat sales. One key per account, spanning every robot you own. Send it as `Authorization: Bearer pk_live_…`.

## Request

### Path parameters

- `robot_id` (string, required) — The robot's id, as returned by the create call.
- `channel_id` (string, required) — The channel's id.

### Query parameters

- `limit` (integer, optional, default: 50) — How many items to return per page.
- `offset` (integer, optional, default: 0) — How many records to skip. Use `offset = page * limit`, and `total_count` from the response to know when to stop.

## Response

### 200

A page of media.

- `data` (list of Media, optional)
- `pagination` (Pagination, optional) — Offset pagination. `total_count` tells you how many records match, so you know how many pages to fetch before you start.

## Errors

### 400 Bad Request Error

The request itself is malformed: a parameter is missing, unparseable, or out of range. Unlike 422, the request never reached validation of its contents.

- `error` (ErrorError, optional)

### 401 Unauthorized Error

The key is missing, wrong, revoked, or past its expiry date. All four answer `invalid_key`: telling an expired key from an unknown one would confirm to whoever holds a leaked key that it was once real.

- `error` (ErrorError, optional)

### 403 Forbidden Error

The call is understood but not permitted: a missing role, a lapsed plan, or exhausted capacity.

- `error` (ErrorError, optional)

### 404 Not Found Error

No such resource, or it belongs to another partner. We return 404 rather than 403 here, because a 403 would confirm the id exists.

- `error` (ErrorError, optional)

### 429 Too Many Requests Error

You are calling the API too fast. `details` names the limit you are held to. This never means an automated reply to an end customer was discarded: those are queued, not dropped.

- `error` (ErrorError, optional)

### 500 Internal Server Error

Something failed on our side. Retry with backoff, and quote `request_id` if it persists.

- `error` (ErrorError, optional)

### 503 Service Unavailable Error

A service we depend on (a channel provider, or our AI service) is unavailable. Retry with backoff.

- `error` (ErrorError, optional)

## Types

### Media

One post or reel on the connected page.

- `media_id` (string, optional) — Use this as `trigger.media_id` to scope a rule to this post.
- `type` (enum, optional) — What kind of media this is. `reel` is not reported yet: reels currently come back as `video`.
  - Allowed values: `image`, `video`, `carousel`, `reel`
- `caption` (string, optional) — The post's caption, as published.
- `permalink` (string, optional) — Public Instagram URL.
- `thumbnail_url` (string, optional) — Preview image. This is what makes a post picker usable: a customer recognises their own post by its image, not by a 17-digit id.
- `comments_count` (integer, optional) — Comments so far. Useful for showing which post is getting traffic.
- `published_at` (datetime, optional) — When the post went up.

### Pagination

Offset pagination. `total_count` tells you how many records match, so you know how many pages to fetch before you start.

- `limit` (integer, optional) — How many items were requested per page.
- `offset` (integer, optional) — How many items were skipped to reach this page.
- `total_count` (integer, optional) — Total records matching the query, across every page. Divide by `limit` to get the number of calls you need.
- `has_more` (boolean, optional) — Whether another page exists after this one.

### ErrorError

- `code` (string, optional) — Stable machine-readable code. Branch on this, not on the message.
- `message` (string, optional) — Human-readable explanation. Wording may change.
- `request_id` (string, optional) — Log this. It is what lets support find your exact request.
- `details` (map from string to any, optional) — Machine-readable context for the code. On `capacity_exhausted` it carries `occupied`, `requested` and `capacity`; on `rate_limited`, `limit_per_minute` and `window_seconds`.
