> ## Agent Instructions
> Base URL: https://api.social-api.ai/v1. Send your API key in the Authorization header: Authorization: Bearer <your API key>.
> Every error response from /v1 is JSON: { "error": { "code", "message", "meta" (optional) }, "request_id" }. Branch on error.code; use error.message only for logs.
> A 429 response carries a Retry-After header, in seconds, when the limit has a known wait. Authenticated responses can carry X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset for the per-minute request budget your SocialAPI account shares across every API key (see /guides/rate-limits).
> Paginated list endpoints return next_cursor, at the top level or inside pagination (see /guides/pagination). Pass it as the cursor query parameter to get the next page. An absent or empty next_cursor means you have the last page.
> Treat every ID as an opaque string: do not parse it or assume a format.
> Support differs by platform and by operation. Check /platforms/overview before assuming an operation works on a platform. An unsupported operation returns 501 with error.code resource.not_supported.

# Re-sync a connected account's posts

> Refreshes one connected account's posts: new posts appear, engagement counts update, and Instagram and Facebook media links in platform_media are renewed. Instagram covers up to the 500 most recent posts, Facebook up to the 500 most recent per Page; other platforms cover up to the 25 most recent. Available on platforms that support listing posts. Returns once the refresh completes. Each account can be synced once every 5 minutes.
