01
Before you start
- A Reelspan account with your networks connected to a profile. The free plan includes every network: start free.
- An API key from the dashboard (Developers → API keys). Keys can be limited to the scopes a tool needs.
02
Create an API key
In the Reelspan dashboard, open Developers → API keys and create a key. In n8n, add a Header Auth credential named Authorization with the value Bearer followed by your key.
03
Add an HTTP Request node
Method POST, URL below, Authentication: the Header Auth credential. Body: Form-Data. Add one field per line; repeat platform[] for each network. For a file from an earlier node (Google Drive, Read Binary File), set video to n8n Binary File and its input field name.
user my-brand
platform[] tiktok
platform[] youtube
platform[] instagram

Read the result
The response lists each network with its status and post URL. For long uploads send async_upload=true, keep the request_id, and check it with GET /v1/posts/status, or let a Reelspan webhook call your workflow when each network is done.

Ideas to build
- Drive folder to every network
- Google Drive Trigger (file created) → Google Drive Download → HTTP Request with the file as video.
- RSS to LinkedIn, X and Bluesky
- RSS Feed Trigger → HTTP Request to /v1/posts/text with the title and link.
- Sheet as a content calendar
- Schedule Trigger → Google Sheets (rows due today) → HTTP Request with scheduled_date from the row.
- AI agent that posts
- Give the AI Agent node an HTTP Request tool for /v1/posts/text, or connect it to the Reelspan MCP server.

Going further
- github.com/Reelspan/n8n-nodes-reelspan: A Reelspan community node (publish, schedule, retry, analytics, AI captions) is open source on GitHub; until it is on npm, the HTTP Request node above does the same job.
- Every field each network takes, scheduling, webhooks and errors: the docs.
- Per-network walkthroughs: upload guides. Is everything publishing right now? Status.
- Other ways in: all integrations.
