<XByoNotice />

Get a history of posts sent via Ayrshare, in descending order (most recent to oldest).

With this endpoint you can retrieve posts from a specific date range, status, social network, or the last n days.

History `status` fields values:

<ul class="custom-bullets">
  <li>
    `awaiting approval`: Posts are awaiting to be approved via the [approval
    workflow](/apis/post/overview#approval-workflow).
  </li>

  <li>
    `deleted`: Post has been deleted. Note: deleted posts are only returned with the status query
    filter. Please see below.
  </li>

  <li>`error`: An error occurred with one or more social networks.</li>
  <li>`paused`: A scheduled post that has been paused.</li>
  <li>`pending`: The post has not yet been processed. Typically a scheduled post.</li>
  <li>`success`: The post was successfully sent to all social networks.</li>
</ul>

Additional information:

<ul class="custom-bullets">
  <li>
    The [Ayrshare Post ID](/apis/overview#ayrshare-post-id) is returned in the response `id` field.
  </li>

  <li>
    To retrieve posts that originated outside of Ayrshare, such as posts manually created directly
    at the social network, use the [history platform](/apis/history/history-platform) endpoint.
  </li>

  <li>
    If only an individual post is required, use the [post history by
    id](/apis/history/get-history-id) endpoint.
  </li>

  <li>
    The history endpoint JSON results are cached for 1 minute if the `limit` is greater than the
    default value of 25.
  </li>
</ul>

## Header Parameters

<HeaderAPI />

## Query Parameters

<ParamField query="limit" type="number" default={25}>

</ParamField>

<ParamField query="startDate" type="string">
  Return posts from and including this start date. Start date for the history in ISO 8601 format.
  For example, use format `YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ` and send as `2026-07-08T12:30:00Z`. Please see

    <li>If the value is zero 0 will return the entire history of posts.</li>
    <li>If the value is greater than 0, it will return the last n days of posts.</li>

    <li>
