### Post fields

| Field                 | Description                                                                                                                           |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `id`                  | Unique Posynt id for the post.                                                                                                        |
| `type`                | `hashtag`, `account`, or `engagement` (a new RT/like/comment on an engagement-tracked post).                                          |
| `hashtag` / `account` | Whichever source triggered the detection.                                                                                             |
| `author`              | Author's (or, for `engagement`, the engaging account's) X handle.                                                                     |
| `text`                | Tweet content, or a fixed note like "retweeted the tracked post" for RT/like events.                                                  |
| `url`                 | Direct link.                                                                                                                          |
| `posted_at`           | Publication time on X (`null` for RT/like events — X doesn't expose one).                                                             |
| `detected_at`         | Time Posynt detected it.                                                                                                              |
| `engagement`          | `null` unless the source has [engagement tracking](/api-reference/tracks.md#engagement-tracking) on — see that section for the shape. |

## Tip: incremental polling

Store the `detected_at` of the last post you processed and pass it back as `since` to fetch only what's new:

```bash
curl "https://api.posynt.win/v1/posts?since=2026-07-11T10:01:34Z" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer psy_live_xxx"
```

There's currently no push/webhook delivery beyond Discord and Telegram (see [Notifications](/guides/notifications.md)) — polling with `since`, or those two channels, are the ways to get new posts without re-fetching everything.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.posynt.win/api-reference/posts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
