What our customers say
FAQs
FAQ
What is a social media API?
A social media API is a set of endpoints that lets your app talk to platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, or X. It allows you to publish posts, fetch data, and manage accounts programmatically instead of using the UI. ContentStudio's social media API brings all of that into one unified integration.
Who is the social media API plan built for?
The social media API plan is for developers, automation builders, and agency tech leads who need a clean publishing endpoint via REST API. It gives you publishing without the overhead of the full social media management suite. You get exactly the integration you need and nothing you do not.
Which social networks can I publish to via the API?
The API supports all major networks in ContentStudio, including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, Google Business Profile, and Telegram. X (Twitter) posting is capped at 30 posts per day by default, with more capacity available as a paid add-on. That is 11 networks from one integration.
How do I generate and manage my API key?
Once you complete onboarding, you land directly on your API Dashboard, where you click Generate API Key to create your key and secret. You can revoke or regenerate your key any time from the same screen. Your secret is shown only once at generation, so copy it immediately and store it securely.
What are the rate limits on the API plan?
The API plan includes 3,000 API requests per month by default, and your dashboard shows real-time rate limit status. You receive an in-app alert at 80 percent usage and an email at 90 percent. If you need more, you can add 1,000 requests at any time from your billing page.
What happens when I hit my API request limit?
You receive an in-app alert at 80 percent usage and an email at 90 percent, and your dashboard shows live usage at all times. If you need more capacity, you can add extra requests instantly from the billing page. There is no upper cap on add-ons.
Can I pull analytics through the API?
Yes, the API gives you analytics for Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. You can fetch reach, engagement, and audience metrics and pull them straight into your own dashboards or reports. That lets your app show performance data without any manual exports.
Does the API plan work with Zapier, Make, n8n, and Pabbly?
Yes, all four are supported out of the box using your API credentials. If your automation platform supports REST API calls through an HTTP module, it will work with ContentStudio's API too. Integration guides and sample workflow templates are available in the API Dashboard under Quick Links.
Can I use the API to build an AI agent?
Yes, the social media API is built to power AI agents and apps. Your agent can connect accounts, generate content, schedule, and publish across every network on its own. Build a publishing agent on Claude or any AI tool without wiring up each platform by hand.
How long is the free trial, and what is included?
The API plan trial is 7-days with no credit card required, and you get full access to everything in the plan. That includes the API Dashboard, key generation, publishing, content library, and all integrations. At the end of the trial, your account pauses, with no automatic charges.
