Publish and schedule posts, moderate comments, and manage direct messages across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, X, and Threads through one REST API. SocialAPI.ai is the developer alternative to Buffer and Hootsuite dashboards, handling per-platform rules, rate limits, and token refresh for you.
Buffer, Hootsuite, and similar tools are end-user dashboards with limited or locked-down APIs. SocialAPI.ai is API-first, so you embed scheduling, comment moderation, and messaging directly inside your own product instead of asking customers to log into a separate tool.
Create photos, videos, carousels, stories, and reels across every connected network.
Queue posts for a future time and let SocialAPI.ai handle delivery and retries.
Read, reply, hide, like, and delete comments across all platforms from one endpoint.
List conversations, read threads, and send replies through one messaging endpoint.
Refresh likes, comments, shares, and saves per post with on-demand metrics.
Receive signed, retried real-time events for new comments, messages, and mentions.

Send one request with a caption, the target platforms, and a schedule time. SocialAPI.ai validates each network's constraints, queues delivery, and reports per-platform status back to you.
Compose once and deliver everywhere. Publish immediately or queue a post for later across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, X, and Threads with a single request. SocialAPI.ai validates each network's media and caption constraints up front and reports clear per-platform delivery status, so a failure on one network never blocks the others.
Handle high comment volume without per-platform code. Read, reply, hide, like, and delete comments across every connected account from one set of endpoints. Pair it with webhooks to auto-moderate spam or route questions into your support tooling the moment a comment lands, with the same Interaction schema across all networks.
Manage conversations across networks through one messaging API. List threads, read history, and send replies while SocialAPI.ai enforces per-platform rules behind the scenes, such as Instagram's and Facebook's 24-hour messaging windows. Build a shared team inbox or an automated responder without learning each platform's quirks.
Keep engagement data current with on-demand metric refresh. Pull likes, comments, shares, and saves per post in a normalized shape, so your dashboards and reports stay accurate across every connected network without scraping or stitching together separate platform analytics APIs.
Buffer, Hootsuite, and Ayrshare focus on dashboards or thin APIs; SocialAPI.ai gives you a complete REST API plus a native MCP server with usage-based pricing.
FAQ
A social media management API lets you publish, schedule, and moderate content programmatically across multiple social networks. Instead of using a dashboard like Buffer or Hootsuite, you call one REST API to publish posts, queue them for later, reply to comments, and manage DMs. SocialAPI.ai covers Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, X, and Threads with the same schema everywhere.
Yes. Send a single request with your caption, media, target platforms, and a schedule time. SocialAPI.ai validates each network's constraints, queues delivery, and returns per-platform status so a problem on one network does not block the rest.
Yes. You can read, reply to, hide, like, and delete comments and manage direct message threads across every connected account from one set of endpoints. Per-platform rules, like Instagram's 24-hour messaging window, are handled for you.
Buffer and Hootsuite are primarily end-user dashboards with limited APIs. SocialAPI.ai is API-first and built for developers and AI agents: a complete REST API plus a native MCP server, with usage-based pricing and a free tier so you can embed management features directly in your product.
