# Create a story (single or multi-frame)

`POST /stories`

Creates a story on a story-capable page (Instagram and Facebook). Provide `media` as a single URL for a one-frame story, or as an array of URLs (max 20) to create a multi-frame story group (one frame per URL, in order). When a multi-frame story is created the response also includes `posts` (every frame, in order) and `group` (the shared story-group id and its post ids). GIFs are not supported. Media is processed asynchronously, so the `media` URL is typically `null` in this response while the upload is still processing — use `mediaId` with GET /media/{id} (or re-fetch the story) to poll `mediaStatus` until it is `success`, at which point the URL becomes available. The `notify` flag controls whether workspace members receive a post-added notification (email/in-app push); set it to `false` to suppress those notifications. Internal activity feed entries are always recorded. `notify` is not an approval request — use POST /posts/{id}/request-approval to notify approvers.
