Ayrshare publishes it, short- and long-form, to YouTube, TikTok, Reels, and more in a single call, then pulls analytics back. One API for the full publishing and feedback lifecycle across 12 of 13 networks. ## Publish Video Content Faster with Ayrshare’s Video API Publish short-form and long-form video to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and more in a single API call, then bring performance analytics back into your platform, so you stay focused on generation quality instead of per-network upload mechanics. [Start building](/pricing/#plans) [See the publish call](/docs) ## Technical Teams Building Video Generation and Repurposing Platforms You’ve built the product that creates the video. Ayrshare helps you handle what comes next: publishing it reliably across every social network your users care about, without building and maintaining each upload flow yourself. The trigger moment: your platform produces a finished video but has no reliable, programmatic way to publish it across networks, and you don't want to integrate each upload flow yourself. [Get started free](/pricing/#plans) - AI video generators and text-to-video products - Long-form-to-short-form clip and repurposing tools - Automated UGC and avatar video platforms - Editing and production tools adding distribution ## Publish Video Content End to End With One API Use Ayrshare's API to upload and publish across networks, schedule for optimal times, and retrieve raw engagement metrics to close the loop. [Read the docs](/docs) ## One Request Uploads and Publishes to Every Connected Network Instead of integrating TikTok's upload flow, YouTube's resumable upload, and Instagram's container-based publishing separately, your platform sends **one request** and Ayrshare handles the platform-specific mechanics, with per-platform customization for the fields each network requires. Scheduling is built in, so generated video can be queued for the right posting time on every connected network. [Read the Posting API docs](/docs/apis/post/overview) ## The Controls That Matter for Video, Exposed Directly Video has its own publishing requirements. Ayrshare puts the controls that matter for it right in the Posting API, so your platform controls the published result end to end, not just the upload. - **Custom video thumbnails**: Set the cover image by URL instead of accepting an auto-generated frame, across YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest, and X, with per-network options such as TikTok's frame-offset selection. - **Per-platform video fields**: Pass the title, description, and format options each network requires in the same call, so a Reel, a Short, and a standard upload all come from one request. - **Scheduling, built in**: Queue generated video for the right posting time on every connected network, in the same call that publishes it. - **Read the docs** ## Target a Reel, a Short, or a Story, without Integrating Each Format Each network has its own video formats, exposed through per-platform options in the same posting call. Video publishing is available on 12 of the 13 networks Ayrshare supports; Reddit is the only one that does not allow video through its API. 12 of 13 networks carry video, all targeted through per-platform options in one posting call. - **YouTube** - Standard videos - Shorts - **TikTok** - Standard video - Custom cover frame - **Instagram** - Reels - Stories - In-feed video - **Facebook** - Standard video - Reels - Stories - **Snapchat** - Stories - Saved Stories - Spotlight - **LinkedIn** - Standard video - **X** - Standard video - Custom thumbnail - Monetization by request - **Pinterest** - Video Pins - **Threads** - Standard video - **Bluesky** - Standard video - Up to 3 minutes - **Telegram** - Standard video - **Google Business** - Video posts appear in Photos - **Reddit** - No video through its API ## Two Modules Close the Loop: Learn, Publish, Measure, Repeat The History API gives programmatic access to 200 to 500 of an account's past posts, so an AI system can match an existing video style, tone, and cadence with no cold start. The Analytics module returns raw, platform-native metrics, so your platform can score what it published and feed real performance data back into generation. - **History API**: Read 200 to 500 past posts so generation matches an existing style and cadence. - **Posting**: Publish to 12 networks in one call, each in its native video format. - **Analytics**: Pull raw views, watch signals, and engagement to score what shipped. - **Feed it back**: Return real performance data to your model and improve the next clip. ## Built-In Compliance for Automated Video Publishing Banned hashtags, duplicate-content triggers, posting limits, and shadow-ban thresholds can suspend accounts fast when automation runs unchecked. Ayrshare is the only social media API with **documented platform compliance**, including X's 2026 BYOK mandate, and is building toward a full governance and brand-safety suite.

Ayrshare's video API supports publishing videos on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, Telegram, and Google Business Profile. Reddit is the only network that does not support video posting through its API. ### Does Ayrshare host or transcode my video? No. Your platform provides the video; Ayrshare handles the upload and publishing mechanics to each network. You keep control of generation, storage, and your own UX. ### Can I schedule generated video for later? Yes. Scheduling is part of the Posting module, so your platform can queue generated video for specific times across every connected network in the same call. ### Can I set a custom thumbnail for a video? Yes. The Posting API accepts a custom thumbnail image by URL for video on YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest, and X, so your platform controls the cover frame rather than relying on the network's automatic selection. ### Does Ayrshare support X video monetization? Yes, Ayrshare supports X video monetization for eligible accounts. It is not a self-serve API parameter, so contact the Ayrshare team to discuss enabling it for your platform. ### Is Ayrshare a video editor or a publishing layer? A publishing and feedback layer. Ayrshare is infrastructure your product embeds; it doesn't replace your editing, generation, or UX. Your platform creates the video, Ayrshare gets it published and brings the metrics back. ## You make the video better. Ayrshare gets it everywhere. Your platform creates the video; Ayrshare handles the publishing last mile and the feedback loop across every network. [Get started](/pricing/#plans) [Read the docs](/docs)
