title: Post update to Buffer API error - "Please select at least one account to post from"
body: <p>I'm extending an app to include semi automatic posting to social media using the Buffer API. I'm having trouble posting the update to Buffer.</p>
  
  <p>Using <a href="https://www.getpostman.com/" rel="nofollow">Postman</a> to play around with the API, everything is authenticated successfully and I'm able to <code>GET</code> anything I need, however, I keep getting the error <code>"Please select at least one account to post from"</code> returned when trying to <code>POST</code> an update.</p>
  
  <p>After adding the required params to postman, I have the following request URL, which fails:</p>
  
  <p><code>https://api.bufferapp.com/1/updates/create.json?pretty=true&amp;access_token=1/XXXXXXXXXXXXX&amp;profile_ids[]=XXXXXXXXXXXX&amp;text=This is an update</code></p>
  
  <p>After reading <a href="https://twitter.com/buffer/status/416584587767468032" rel="nofollow">this</a> twitter thread, I have also tried the following with no luck:</p>
  
  <p><code>https://api.bufferapp.com/1/updates/create.json?pretty=true&amp;access_token=1/XXXXXXXXXXXXX&amp;profile_ids%5B%5D=XXXXXXXXXXXX&amp;text=This is an update</code></p>
  
  <p>The full error / response is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
      "success": false,
      "message": "Please select at least one account to post from.",
      "code": 1004
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The related documentation is <a href="https://buffer.com/developers/api/updates#updatescreate" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p>
  
  <p>What am I overlooking? I have a sneaking suspicion that it's something simple I'm not seeing.</p>
  
  <p>Any help is much appreciated :)</p>
