The social media publishing API: one call, 14+ networks
One API request to publish and schedule posts, Reels, and Stories across all major networks. Built-in webhooks, validation, and approval workflows mean less code for you to maintain.

Every network publishes differently. Your product shouldn't have to.
Instagram wants media containers, YouTube wants resumable uploads, TikTok has its own review flow, and every network changes the rules without asking you. Ayrshare's publishing API absorbs all of it: your product sends one request, the API translates it into what each platform actually requires, and reports back per-platform results you can show your users.
Publishing, scheduling, and the workflow around them
Scheduling and auto-schedule
Schedule to an exact UTC time or let auto-schedule fill your predefined posting slots. Scheduled posts can be pre-validated at creation so bad payloads fail immediately, not at 9am on launch day.
Video, Reels, Stories, Spotlight
Send media URLs and the API handles each platform's upload mechanics: Instagram Reels and Stories, YouTube video, TikTok, Snapchat Spotlight, and image posts everywhere else.
Per-platform customization
One request, tailored per network. Set a YouTube title, a Pinterest board, Instagram post options, or platform-specific text overrides without splitting the call.
Approval workflows
Set a post to require approval and it holds until someone signs off, via API or dashboard. Built for agencies and platforms where a stakeholder reviews before anything goes live.
Pre-publish validation
Every post can be checked before it goes out: banned hashtags, duplicate content, posting limits. A bad post can't suspend your customer's account, because it never reaches the platform.
Webhooks and status tracking
Real-time events on publish and error, per platform. Your product shows the true state of every post without polling, and can react to failures the moment they happen.
Update and delete
Edit or remove published and scheduled posts through the API, including toggling comments on a live post. The endpoint covers the full post lifecycle.
Idempotency
Pass an idempotency key and duplicate requests are rejected, so a retry after a network blip never double-posts to your customer's audience.
Multi-tenant by design
Each end user links their own accounts through an OAuth flow and gets an isolated profile with its own rate limits. Publish on behalf of thousands of users from one integration.
Which social networks can you publish to?
The /post endpoint publishes to 14+ social networks, each with its own documented options for the fields that network requires: Bluesky, Facebook, Google Business Profile, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Telegram, Threads, TikTok, X (Twitter), and YouTube.

// Publish to four networks with one requestconst res = await fetch("https://api.ayrshare.com/api/post", { method: "POST", headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json", "Authorization": `Bearer ${API_KEY}` }, body: JSON.stringify({ post: "Ship day. New release is live.", platforms: ["instagram", "linkedin", "x", "facebook"], mediaUrls: ["https://img.ayrshare.com/launch.png"], scheduleDate: "2026-08-12T15:00:00Z" })});
First post in minutes, not sprints
The response returns an Ayrshare Post ID plus each network's own post ID, so analytics, comments, edits, and deletion all reference the same post without you mapping IDs across platforms.
• REST with JSON in and out, plus Node.js and Python packages
• Documented per-platform options instead of undocumented surprises
• Per-platform failure isolation: one network's error never blocks the rest
• An MCP server so AI agents and coding assistants publish through the same API
Publishing is only the start of the lifecycle
The same integration covers the rest of the workflow, so when your product needs analytics or an inbox next quarter, it's already there.
Engagement
Read, reply to, and moderate comments, DMs, and reviews across networks.
Analytics
Raw, platform-native metrics per post and per account, in one schema.
History
Pull past posts per profile, including posts published outside Ayrshare, for reporting or AI brand-voice training.
Publishing API questions
A social media publishing API lets your product create, schedule, and manage social posts programmatically. The Ayrshare API publishes to 13+ social networks from one request, with scheduling, approval workflows, pre-publish validation, and webhooks included.
The Ayrshare API publishes to Bluesky, Facebook, Google Business Profile, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit, Snapchat, Telegram, Threads, TikTok, X (Twitter), WhatsApp and YouTube. Any combination can be targeted in a single API call.
You send one request to the /post endpoint with your content, media URLs, and a list of target platforms. Ayrshare converts it into each network's native publishing flow, including media processing, and returns per-platform results and post IDs. Platform-specific fields, like a YouTube title or Pinterest board, ride along in the same request.
Failures are isolated per platform. The post still publishes to every network where it's valid, and the Ayrshare API response plus webhooks tell you exactly which network failed and why.
Yes. Schedule to an exact UTC time with scheduleDate or use auto-schedule posting slots, and enable pre-validation so scheduling errors surface at creation time. Webhooks report the final publish status of every scheduled post.
Ayrshare schedules posts to one or multiple platforms in a single API call using a scheduleDate in ISO-8601 UTC format. Auto-Schedule automatically fills predefined time slots for posts, and Auto-Repost lets evergreen content be reposted automatically for extended engagement. Scheduling a text first comment alongside the post is supported on Facebook, LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, Bluesky, and Reddit, but not on Instagram or Google Business Profile.
Yes: Instagram Reels and Stories, YouTube video, TikTok, Snapchat Spotlight, and image and video posts across the other networks. You provide media URLs; the Ayrshare API handles each platform's upload flow.
Direct integration means separate approval processes, separate auth models, separate media pipelines, and permanent maintenance every time a network changes its API. With the Ayrshare social media API, that maintenance is our job. Platform changes, like X requiring your own developer app credentials from March 2026, are tracked, documented, and shipped with migration guidance before the deadline hits.
Yes, that's the core design of the Ayrshare API. Multi-user plans give every end user an isolated profile with its own linked social accounts, OAuth linking flow, and rate limits. The same architecture handles 30M+ API calls a day, and it's the same one customers integrate against at Seed stage. They don't migrate, they grow.
Yes. Ayrshare ships an MCP server that gives AI agents publishing, scheduling, and analytics as callable actions, and pre-publish validation catches the mistakes an agent doesn't know it's making: duplicate content, banned hashtags, posting limits.
The full parameter and response reference lives in the Ayrshare Post API docs, including platform-specific publishing options and scheduling behavior.
Ship social today. Zero maintenance tomorrow.
Get an API key, send your first post to 14+ networks, and let your team get back to the product your customers actually pay for.
