Concepts
Research Modes
Choose regular or deep research when generating captions.
Caption generation takes a research_mode of regular or deep. It controls how much context PowerPost gathers before writing.
| Mode | What it does |
|---|---|
regular | Faster drafts with less research |
deep | More research before writing |
How to set it
Pass research_mode on every content generate request:
{
"prompt": "We just shipped dark mode across all our apps",
"post_types": ["instagram-reel", "tiktok-video"],
"research_mode": "regular"
}Source URLs
Separately, you can pass source_urls (up to 10 public http(s) URLs). PowerPost scrapes those pages and uses them as research context. That works with text, images, or video, and it uses credits.
Non-public or blocked URLs are rejected with 400 and no credits are charged for that request.
Writing styles
Research mode is independent of brand voice. Pass writing_style_id (from Settings → Writing Styles) to keep tone consistent. If you omit it, generation uses your active style if you have one, otherwise no custom style.
