# Get an OAuth connect URL

`POST /socials/connect`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.crevio.co/v1`
- URL: `https://api.crevio.co/v1/socials/connect`
- Auth: API key in header `Authorization`

Returns an OAuth URL to connect a social account on the given platform. Activates the account on first connect; requires an active subscription.

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string

## Request body

- object
  - `platform` 'twitter' | 'linkedin' | 'instagram' | 'facebook' | 'youtube' | 'tiktok' | 'pinterest' | 'threads' | 'reddit' | 'bluesky', required
  - `redirect_url` string, required: URL to redirect to after connection
  - `login_method` 'instagram_login' | 'facebook_login': Instagram only; ignored on every other platform. `instagram_login` (the default) authorizes the Instagram professional account directly. `facebook_login` authorizes the Facebook Page linked to that account instead, and every call then runs through the Page. Use it when Instagram's own dialog will not render a consent screen for the account, or when the seller manages Instagram through a Page.

## Response `200`
