# Twitter/X Long-Form Posts
Unlock the ability to schedule and publish long-form posts (up to 25,000 characters) to Twitter/X using the Publer API—exclusively for accounts with an X Premium subscription.
### Overview
Twitter/X supports long-form posts (sometimes called "long posts" or "extended tweets") for users with an X Premium (formerly Twitter Blue) subscription, even at the Basic tier. These posts can contain up to **25,000 characters**, far exceeding the standard 280-character limit.
With Publer, you can programmatically schedule and publish long-form posts via the API. Publer automatically detects your account’s eligibility and switches to the appropriate post type.
### How It Works
* **Accounts with X Premium:**\
You can create and schedule long-form posts up to 25,000 characters.
* **Accounts without X Premium:**\
Your post text will be truncated to the standard 280-character limit, and the long-form post type will be disabled.
> **Tip:** Validate the post length in your integration to avoid surprises when publishing.
### Key Differences
* **Long-form posts** are not the same as Twitter threads. Threads are multiple connected posts; long-form posts are a single post with expanded character count.
* Scheduling long-form posts is not possible directly on X/Twitter—use Publer’s API or platform to achieve this functionality.
### Request Example
To schedule a Twitter/X long-form post, set the network type to `"long_post"` inside the `details` object for the `"twitter"` network:
```json
{
"bulk": {
"state": "scheduled",
"posts": [
{
"networks": {
"twitter": {
"type": "status",
"details": {
"type": "long_post"
},
"text": "This is a twitter long post"
}
},
"accounts": [
{
"id": "66e011b94e299eb49376c715",
"scheduled_at": "2025-09-24T14:16+02:00"
}
]
}
]
}
}
```
Field
Type
Description
networks.twitter.details.type
string
Must be "long_post" for long-form posts
networks.twitter.text
string
Content of your long-form post (max 25,000 characters with X Premium)
### Important Notes
* **X Premium Required:** Only X Premium accounts can publish long-form posts. For other accounts, posts will be truncated to 280 characters.
* **Not for Threads:** Use this format for single extended posts, not for multi-part threads.
* **API Detection:** Publer automatically detects account eligibility for long-form posting.
* **Scheduling Limitation:** Twitter/X doesn’t natively support scheduling long-form posts; this is enabled via Publer’s platform and API.
### Best Practices
* Check your account’s X Premium status before relying on long-form functionality.
* Always validate post length to ensure your content is not unintentionally truncated.
* Use long-form posts for in-depth announcements, articles, or detailed updates—threads remain better for sequential storytelling.
