Post Bridge returned an invalid social accounts payload.

Error message

Post Bridge returned an invalid social accounts payload.

What it means

Raised by PostBridgeClient.list_social_accounts when the response's 'data' field (or the response body itself, as fallback) is not a JSON list. The paginator expects an array of account objects per page, so any other shape aborts the loop.

Solutions

1. Log the raw response_json to see the actual shape returned
2. Update the extraction to match the current API envelope (e.g. response_json.get('accounts', []))
3. Check for an error/message key in the payload before treating it as data
4. Verify the endpoint and API version in the Post Bridge account settings

Example fix

// before
page_accounts = response_json.get("data", response_json)
if not isinstance(page_accounts, list):
    raise PostBridgeClientError("Post Bridge returned an invalid social accounts payload.")

// after
page_accounts = (
    response_json.get("data")
    if isinstance(response_json.get("data"), list)
    else response_json.get("accounts", [])
)
if not isinstance(page_accounts, list):
    raise PostBridgeClientError(
        f"Unexpected social accounts payload: {response_json!r}"
    )

response_json = client._request_json("GET", url, params=params)
if not isinstance(response_json.get("data", response_json), list):
    logging.warning("Unexpected Post Bridge payload shape: %r", response_json)
    # fall back to a known-good envelope or abort gracefully

def is_social_accounts_payload(payload: object) -> bool:
    if not isinstance(payload, dict):
        return False
    data = payload.get("data", payload)
    return isinstance(data, list) and all(isinstance(a, dict) for a in data)

try:
    accounts = client.list_social_accounts()
except PostBridgeClientError as exc:
    if "invalid social accounts payload" in str(exc):
        logging.error("Post Bridge API envelope changed; got: %s", exc)
        return []
    raise

When it happens

Trigger: The API returns a dict per page (e.g. {'accounts': [...]}) so response_json.get('data', response_json) yields a dict; an error payload like {'error': ...} with 200 status; an empty-string or null 'data' field.

Common situations: Post Bridge API version change altering the payload envelope, a proxy/gateway returning an HTML or object error page, or rate-limit responses that don't set a non-200 status.

Understand the failure class

Background: Schema validation failed / invalid input schema: payload rejected because its shape doesn't match the expected schema — this error's family across 28 libraries.
