Error Handling​

The editPost method may encounter various error scenarios:

  • Invalid post_id: The specified post ID doesn't exist or is not accessible
  • Authentication failure: Missing or invalid embedToken
  • Permission denied: User doesn't have edit permissions for the specified post
  • Network errors: Connection issues preventing the editor from loading

Always implement proper error handling SDK error listeners to provide a seamless user experience.

Response Data​

Upon successful post publication (when user clicks "Publish" in the editor), the onPostPublish callback receives a data object.

Refer to the onPostPublish documentation for detailed information about the response structure.
