Troubleshooting

If requests fail, run zero doctor check-connector --env-name BUFFER_TOKEN or zero doctor check-connector --url https://api.buffer.com --method POST

Beta API. Buffer's public API is currently in beta. Personal API keys replace the legacy OAuth v1 API. Only organization owners can create keys (paid accounts: up to 5 keys, free accounts: 1 key). The legacy REST API at api.bufferapp.com/1/* still exists but is not accepting new developer applications and requires OAuth — it is not used by this connector.

How It Works

Buffer is a social media scheduling platform. The beta API is GraphQL-only, served from a single endpoint. Every request is a POST with a JSON {"query": "...", "variables": {...}} body.
