# Connect a credential platform with the PostEverywhere API

Connects a credential-based platform entirely through the API, no
browser involved. Credentials are validated live against the platform
before saving; invalid credentials return a 400 with the reason.
Re-submitting credentials for an already-connected account updates it
in place (this is also how these platforms reconnect).
Required fields by platform: telegram needs `bot_token` (from
@BotFather; the bot must be an admin of the channel) and `channel`
(@username or numeric chat id); discord needs `webhook_url`; bluesky
needs `handle` and `app_password` (an app password, never the main
account password).
