Abstract
Social network initiated listings can be implemented by using keyword extraction of a social network post containing a sell code. The extracted keywords can be categorized using a machine based categorization system. The listing user account of the post creator can be identified using active session analysis. A listing is created using the listing user account. A new post that contains a URL to the listing is then programmatically published on the social network.

A method, comprising:
- receiving user identification information from a client device through an application programming interface (API), the user identification information including a social network site username and a listing network site username;
- linking the user identification information to a database;
- receiving a social network post on a social network site submitted by the client device through the API, the social network post referencing an item;
- accessing the database to identify a listing network site associated with the listing network site username based on receiving the social network post;
- checking cookie information stored on the client device;
- determining that the client device has a first active session on the social network site and a second active session on the listing network site based on the cookie information;
- identifying a listing user account based on the second active session;
- generating, based on the identified listing user account, a listing for the item on the listing network site;
- and
- publishing the listing on the social network site with a post submit API based on the client device having the first active session at the social network site and the client device having the second active session at the listing network site.

- accessing the database to identify a listing network site associated with the listing network site username based on receiving the social network post;
- checking cookie information stored on the client device;
- determining that the client device has a first active session on the social network site and a second active session on the listing network site based on the cookie information;
- identifying a listing user account based on the second active session;
- generating, based on the identified listing user account, a listing for the item on the listing network site;
- and
- publishing the listing on the social network site with a post submit API based on the client device having the first active session at the social network site and the client device having the second active session at the listing network site.
