# Resolve a social mention

`POST https://api.endless.app/social/resolve_mention`

Source: https://endless.app/docs/api/social/resolve-mention

Resolve a social @handle to the real account(s) it maps to, so you can mention it correctly. Use this to DISAMBIGUATE which platform a handle belongs to (the same handle can exist on Instagram, X, TikTok, etc.) and to confirm an account exists before linking it. Returns each match's ready-to-paste `mention_markdown` (`[@handle](url)`) — emit that verbatim, never invent a handle or URL. Pass `platform` when you already know it (one lookup); omit it to probe every supported platform and disambiguate.

### Errors

- `400` (Error): The request is malformed, or failed input validation. `message` names the field and the rule it broke; `data.issues` carries them individually.
- `401` (Error): No bearer token, or a token that failed verification.
- `402` (Error): The workspace has no credits left, or the caller is over a spending limit.
- `403` (Error): Authenticated, but the caller's role in this workspace does not carry the permission this operation needs.
- `409` (Error): The request is well-formed, but the resource's current state forbids it — a taken name, a last admin, a limit already reached.
- `429` (Error): The caller has spent its rate-limit window. `Retry-After` says when to come back.
- `500` (Error): The request failed on our side. Safe to retry an idempotent operation with backoff.
