## May 2026

<ul class="custom-bullets">
  <li>
    <strong>May 8 - Python SDK v1.3.0 — X/Twitter BYO support.</strong> The official <a href="/packages-guides/python">Python SDK</a> now exposes <code>set\_twitter\_byo(api\_key, api\_secret)</code> and <code>clear\_twitter\_byo()</code> for X/Twitter Bring-Your-Own-Keys. Once set, every SDK request includes the required <code>X-Twitter-OAuth1-Api-Key</code> and <code>X-Twitter-OAuth1-Api-Secret</code> headers — required for X/Twitter operations now that Ayrshare's BYO requirement is enforced (as of March 31, 2026). Install via <code>pip install --upgrade social-post-api</code>; release notes on <a href="https://github.com/ayrshare/social-post-api-python/releases/tag/v1.3.0">GitHub</a> and <a href="https://pypi.org/project/social-post-api/1.3.0/">PyPI</a>.
  </li>
</ul>

## April 2026

<ul class="custom-bullets">
  <li>
    <strong>April 30 - X/Twitter BYOK in the API Explorer.</strong> The <a href="https://apiexplorer.ayrshare.com">Ayrshare API Explorer</a> now includes a collapsible <strong>X/Twitter BYOK (Bring Your Own Keys)</strong> section so you can paste your X API Key and API Secret once and have them attached as <code>X-Twitter-OAuth1-Api-Key</code> and <code>X-Twitter-OAuth1-Api-Secret</code> headers on every outgoing request — no more dropping to <code>curl</code> or Postman to test BYOK from the Explorer. Values are scoped to the current browser tab via <code>sessionStorage</code>, masked by default with a reveal toggle, and cleared with one click. See the <a href="/dashboard/connect-social-accounts/x-twitter-byo-keys">X BYO Key Setup Guide</a> for how to obtain your credentials.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>April 28 - Instagram Trial Reels.</strong> The <a href="/apis/post/post">/post</a> endpoint now supports publishing Instagram <a href="/apis/post/social-networks/instagram#trial-reels">Trial Reels</a> — Reels visible only to non-followers when first published. Set <code>instagramOptions.trialParams.graduationStrategy</code> to <code>"MANUAL"</code> (graduate from inside the Instagram app) or <code>"SS\_PERFORMANCE"</code> (Meta auto-graduates based on early performance). Three new validation error codes — <a href="/errors/errors-ayrshare#instagram-specific-error-codes"><code>447</code>, <code>448</code>, <code>449</code></a> — reject invalid trial-reel requests at the Ayrshare edge.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>April 24 - Instagram Posting Reliability.</strong> Expanded automated retry handling for Instagram during busy times and improved error messages across the board. Instead of generic errors, you'll now receive specific <a href="/errors/errors-ayrshare#instagram-specific-error-codes">error codes</a> for rate limits (<code>code: 435</code>) and media processing timeouts (<code>code: 436</code>) — making it easier to diagnose issues and build smarter retry logic in your integrations.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>April 23 - Facebook Analytics Rate Limit Error Code 444.</strong> Facebook Page per-Page analytics throttles (Meta error <code>80001</code>) now return <code>code: 444</code> (HTTP 429) on <a href="/apis/analytics/post">post</a> and <a href="/apis/analytics/social">social</a> analytics responses. Previously these throttles were misclassified as <code>code: 161</code> ("relink your account"). If your integration branches on <code>161</code> to trigger a relink flow, update it to recognize <code>444</code> and retry with backoff instead. See <a href="/errors/errors-ayrshare#facebook-analytics-rate-limit">Facebook Analytics Rate Limit</a> for details.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>April 23 - Meta Media Crawler Troubleshooting.</strong> New help-center guide on fixing error <code>code: 440</code> ("social network could not download media from this URL") and the related Instagram <code>code: 138</code> / Threads <code>code: 379</code>, all caused by <code>robots.txt</code> or bot rules blocking Meta's publishing crawler. See <a href="/help-center/technical-support/meta_media_crawler_blocked">Meta Media Crawler Blocked</a>.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>April 20 - Caption Enhancement Error Code 441.</strong> The <a href="/apis/post/post">Post</a> endpoint now returns error <code>code: 441</code> (HTTP 502) when a caption enhancement such as <code>shortenLinks</code> fails. When the failure affects only some platforms, the successful platforms still post and appear in <code>postIds</code> alongside a top-level <code>status: "error"</code> and per-platform entries in <code>errors\[]</code>. See <a href="/errors/errors-ayrshare#caption-enhancement-errors">Caption Enhancement Errors</a> for details.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>April 9 - Instagram & TikTok Analytics All-Time Data & Date Filtering.</strong> The <a href="/apis/analytics/social">social analytics</a> endpoint now returns all-time Instagram and TikTok data when neither <code>daily</code> nor <code>quarters</code> is specified. Use <code>quarters</code> (1–4, where 1 = 90 days) or <code>daily=true</code> to filter by date range — now supported on TikTok as well. When active, TikTok comment, share, and view period labels and totals reflect the filtered date range.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>April 9 - Analytics Reliability and Recovery.</strong> The <a href="/apis/analytics/social">Social Analytics</a> and <a href="/apis/analytics/post">Post Analytics</a> endpoints now automatically backfill cumulative metrics (followers, likes, views) from stored data when the social network temporarily returns zeros. Two new optional response fields, <code>backfilledFrom</code> and <code>recoveredFrom</code>, indicate when stored data was used. Additionally, requesting analytics when no platforms return data now returns a <code>400</code> error (<code>code: 187</code>) instead of an empty success response.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>April 1 - generateJWT Header-Based X Credentials.</strong> The <a href="/apis/profiles/generate-jwt">Generate JWT</a> endpoint now accepts <code>X-Twitter-OAuth1-Api-Key</code> and <code>X-Twitter-OAuth1-Api-Secret</code> headers for passing your X consumer keys — consistent with all other X/Twitter endpoints. Body parameters remain supported for backward compatibility.
  </li>
</ul>

## March 2026

<ul class="custom-bullets">
  <li>
    <strong>March 23 - Keyword Search on X.</strong> New <a href="/apis/listen/keyword/search-tweets">keyword search</a> endpoint for BYOK customers. Search X/Twitter for tweets matching keywords, hashtags, and advanced search operators. Supports pagination, filtering by language and location, and returns normalized tweet data.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>March 23 - Listening Section.</strong> A new <a href="/apis/listen/overview">Listening</a> section has been added, expanding on the Brand endpoints with new features like keyword search.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>X/Twitter Paginated Messages.</strong> The [Get Messages](/apis/messages/get-messages) endpoint now supports a <code>limit</code> query parameter for X/Twitter, allowing you to fetch only the latest N messages (1–100) without a full history sync. Combined with cursor-based pagination via the <code>next</code> parameter, this enables efficient polling — fetch a small batch, check if you already have them, and only page further if needed.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>Increased Video Size Limits.</strong> With so much of social publishing now focused on video content, we increased our video upload limits across multiple platforms: LinkedIn (200 MB → 500 MB), TikTok (1 GB → 10 GB), X Premium long video (1 GB → 16 GB), and added larger content-type-specific limits for Facebook (Reels 2 GB, Stories 4 GB, Feed 10 GB) and Pinterest (2 GB). See the [Media Guidelines](/media-guidelines/overview) for full details.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>X/Twitter Messages BYO Key Support.</strong> [Get Messages](/apis/messages/get-messages) and [Send Message](/apis/messages/send-message) endpoints now support BYO (Bring Your Own) X/Twitter API credentials. Real-time DM notifications via webhooks are not available for BYO users; use polling via the GET Messages endpoint instead.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>Bring Your Own Keys on X.</strong> A major change to how X/Twitter accounts are connected. The new [Bring Your Own Keys](/apis/post/social-networks/x-twitter) approach gives you more control of your account, better data portability, and a branded OAuth flow. All users need to make the transition by March 31, 2026.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>Editable Short Links.</strong> You can now [update short links](/apis/links/update-short-link) after they've been published.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>Scheduled Post Processing Reliability.</strong> Resolved an issue where the scheduled post processing job could run out of memory and return 503 errors. Increased resource allocation, added paginated query processing, and introduced a distributed application lock to prevent duplicate execution — ensuring single, reliable runs for all scheduled post processing.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>Facebook & Instagram History Improvements.</strong> Improved the [/history/facebook](/apis/history/history-platform) and [/history/instagram](/apis/history/history-platform) endpoints: for Facebook, expired/archived Stories are now filtered out by default so only active Stories appear alongside regular posts, and new <code>since</code> and <code>until</code> query parameters allow time-based filtering with ISO UTC date strings. For both Facebook and Instagram, a new <code>dataType</code> parameter lets you request only <code>posts</code>, only <code>stories</code>, or both (default).
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>X Rate Limits Removed.</strong> As part of the [X/Twitter BYO Keys migration](/dashboard/connect-social-accounts/x-twitter-byo-keys), Ayrshare no longer enforces monthly or daily rate limits on X analytics. Your usage is now governed by your own X Developer account limits.
  </li>
</ul>

## February 2026

<ul class="custom-bullets">
  <li>
    <strong>Batch Analytics.</strong> Added support for batch analytics of social post IDs, allowing up to 100 posts per analytics call using the new <code>postIds</code> parameter. Read about it on our [Analytics on a Post by Social ID](/apis/analytics/social-by-id) endpoint.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>History Pagination.</strong> Added pagination support to the [posts history for a platform](/apis/history/history-platform) API for Threads and X/Twitter. No more 500 post limit — you can now pull longer history using pagination, and split calls into smaller chunks for faster, more efficient responses.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>Free Trial Enhancements.</strong> Free trial users can now test the [Messaging API](/apis/messages/overview) and [Max Pack](/additional/maxpack) — you won't be charged until the end of the free trial period.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>Improved Error Messages.</strong> Added additional detail to [X/Twitter](/apis/post/social-networks/x-twitter) and [LinkedIn](/apis/post/social-networks/linkedin) error messages, making it easier to diagnose issues with your API calls.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>Instagram Comments Fix.</strong> Fixed an issue where top-level Instagram comments with nested replies were not being returned correctly from the [Get Comments](/apis/comments/get-comments) endpoint.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>Python SDK.</strong> Updated our [Python SDK](https://pypi.org/project/social-post-api/) with the latest features and improvements.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>X/Twitter Webhook URL.</strong> A new <code>ayrshareUrl</code> field is now included in [Direct Message Event webhook](/apis/webhooks/actions#direct-message-event) payload, providing an unauthenticated URL for convenience.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>Status Page Slack Integration.</strong> You can link updates from our [Status Page](https://status.ayrshare.com) into Slack automatically. Just click "Get Updates" in the upper right and select the Slack option.
  </li>
</ul>

## January 2026

<ul class="custom-bullets">
  <li>
    <strong>MCP Server.</strong> Back by popular demand — we've relaunched our [MCP Server](/additional/mcp-server)! Connect your AI tools directly to the Ayrshare API.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>Self-Serve Signup.</strong> Added a new [self-serve signup](https://www.ayrshare.com/pricing/) for the Business Plan and Launch Plan. New customers can now access a 14-day free trial of the Launch Plan to test the Ayrshare platform.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>X/Twitter Video Thumbnails.</strong> [X/Twitter video posts](/apis/post/social-networks/x-twitter#video-thumbnail) now support including a thumbnail preview image (as a URL). This is sent as part of the metadata when uploading a video.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>Instagram Hashtag Limit.</strong> Changed the hashtag limit on [Instagram posts](/apis/post/social-networks/instagram) to 5 to align with new guidelines published by Instagram.

## June 2025

<ul class="custom-bullets">
  <Frame>
    <iframe title="Recapping the Ayrshare June 2025 Release" height="150" width="100%" src="https://www.podbean.com/player-v2/?i=4d3fx-18fc1e0-pb&from=pb6admin&share=1&download=0&rtl=0&fonts=Arial&skin=654771&font-color=auto&logo_link=episode_page&btn-skin=fb0584" />
  </Frame>

  <li>
    <strong>Instagram Login (coming soon).</strong> [Enable or disable Instagram
    Login](/multiple-users/manage-user-profiles#instagram-login) on the social
    linking page. Instagram Login will be enabled by default in the coming weeks.
    If you require the advanced features listed including hashtag search,
    collaborations, location tagging, or brand data, you must manually disable
    this option to use Facebook Page authentication instead. We recommend most
    clients use the new direct Instagram Login since it is a simpler work flow and
    does not require a Facebook Page.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>Introducing Snapchat.</strong> Ayrshare now supports
    [Snapchat](/dashboard/connect-social-accounts/snapchat). The Snapchat API
    enables direct publishing of content to both Stories and Spotlight, and
    getting analytics and history. Stories are temporary posts that disappear
    after 24 hours, while Spotlight posts are permanent and can help creators and
    businesses reach a wider audience.
  </li>

  <li>
    <strong>MCP Server.</strong> Connect the [Ayrshare API Docs MCP
    server](/additional/mcp-server) with your AI agent. By connecting the Ayrshare

    Claude Desktop, you can give your AI agent direct access to Ayrshare’s
    documentation.
  </li>

  <li>

    in the [developer dashboard](https://app.ayrshare.com). In addition to
    uploading media files, you can now also use URLs to post your media. And you
    can now view the JSON used to publish your post which helps verify the
    correctness of your JSON.
