In this article, you’ll learn how to plan and publish X re-posts in Swat.io using a simple workaround, even though X currently does not offer official API support for re-posts.

Create a Re-Post

Currently, X does not allow re-posts to be published directly via the API. With the following workaround, you can still schedule a re-post in Swat.io:

  1. Copy the direct link to the original post

    • Open the desired post on X.

    • Click on it and copy the URL from your browser’s address bar.

  2. Insert the link in Swat.io

    • Open the Publisher in Swat.io and create a new post.

    • Paste the copied link into the text field.

    • Optionally, you can add extra text before the link.

    • Note: No preview will be generated for re-posts in Swat.io.

  3. Publish the post

    • Schedule or publish the post as usual. Here’s what the re-post will look like after publishing:

Tip: You can add more context or hashtags to your re-post by including additional text.
