# Composing posts (/introduction/guides/composing-posts)
This guide will give you a brief overview of how to compose posts with various elements using our API.
Please keep in mind that all of the below examples are meant to be sent as a `POST` request to our `https://app.onlyfansapi.com/api/{account}/posts` endpoint.
**Looking for the developer-oriented documentation?** Please refer to our [API Reference](/api-reference/posts/send-post).
## Text-only posts
Simply want to send a regular text post? Use the following payload:
```json
{
"text": "The text of your post"
}
```
## Post labels
### Retrieving the account's existing labels
**Looking for the developer-oriented documentation?** Please refer to our [API Reference](/api-reference/post-labels/list-labels).
You can retrieve the account's existing labels by sending a `GET` request to the `https://app.onlyfansapi.com/api/{account}/posts/labels` endpoint.
It will return a payload like:
```json
[
{
"id": "archived",
"name": "Archive",
"type": "archived",
"isClearInProgress": false,
"postsCount": 0,
"posts": []
},
{
"id": "private_archived",
"name": "Private Archive",
"type": "private_archived",
"isClearInProgress": false,
"postsCount": 0,
"posts": []
},
{
"id": 123,
"name": "My new label",
"type": "custom",
"isClearInProgress": false,
"postsCount": 123,
"posts": []
}
]
```
You can then use the `id` of the label(s) to apply it to your post.
### Creating a new label
**Looking for the developer-oriented documentation?** Please refer to our [API Reference](/api-reference/post-labels/create-label).
To create a new label, send a `POST` request to the `https://app.onlyfansapi.com/api/{account}/posts/labels` endpoint with the following payload:
```json
{
"name": "My new label"
}
```
It will then return a payload like:
```json
{
"data": {
"id": 123,
"name": "My new label",
"type": "custom",
"isClearInProgress": false,
"postsCount": 0,
"posts": []
}
}
```
You can then use the `id` of the newly created label to apply it to your post.
### Adding label(s) to your post
To add label(s) to your post, you can use the `labels` field in your payload. You can specify multiple labels by providing an array of label IDs.
```json
{
"text": "The text of your post",

}
```
