# Convert a post or video into a Story

`POST /v1/stories/from-post/{postId}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://www.postquick.ai/api`
- URL: `https://www.postquick.ai/api/v1/stories/from-post/{postId}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Create a Story draft that reuses media from an existing post (or video post). The source media is referenced, not re-uploaded, and usage is NOT charged again — the underlying file was already counted against the user's quota when the source was created. Use the source query parameter to choose between generated_posts (default) and video_posts.

## Path parameters

- `postId` string, required

## Query parameters

- `source` 'post' | 'video': Source table. Defaults to "post" (generated_posts).

## Request body

- object
  - `platforms` string[]
  - `caption` string: Override the inherited caption. Falls back to the source content/description.

## Response `201`

Story draft created.
