Post to Bluesky via the API

Connect your Bluesky account, then one call publishes to it (and any other accounts under the profile). No media required for a text post:

curl -X POST https://api.postlake.dev/v1/posts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "text": "Hello from PostLake 👋",
    "platforms": ["bluesky"],
    "profile": "my-brand"
  }'

You get back one normalised shape. A post id plus a targets list with the live URL. Full detail in Publishing a post.
