How to connect Your App to Social Media API

Connecting Social Media API to Your App for seamless posting, CSV management, and insights

How to connect Social Media API with Your App

This guide walks you through authenticating, selecting the right endpoints, and wiring your app to the Social Media API to automate posting, CSV workflows, and account management. Use the provided endpoints to create scalable, compliant integrations between Social Media API and Your App.

Authentication for Social Media API

To authorize Your App to access the Social Media API, obtain an API key with the scope saas/company.write and secure your requests with token-based authentication. This ensures controlled access to publishing, CSV handling, and account management features.

Authentication for Your App

Your App should use standard OAuth 2.0 or API key-based authentication to connect to the Social Media API, and should request the saas/company.write scope to perform write operations.

Key API Endpoints

1) POST /bulk-disable-saas/:companyId; 2) snapshots.readonly; 3) GET /snapshots; 4) socialplanner/account.readonly; 5) GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/accounts; 6) socialplanner/account.write; 7) DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/accounts/:id; 8) socialplanner/csv.readonly; 9) GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv; 10) GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:id; 11) socialplanner/csv.write; 12) POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv; 13) POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/set-accounts; 14) DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:id; 15) PATCH /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:id; 16) POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/bulk-delete; 17) DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:csvId/post/:postId

Top 3 connections between Social Media API and Your App

1) Centralized Posting & CSV Sync

Trigger: When new content is ready in Your App, push to Social Media API to post or schedule via /social-media-posting/:locationId endpoints.

Actions: Publish posts (POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/bulk-delete as needed), upload and manage CSVs (POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv; GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv; DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:id; PATCH /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:id), and link accounts (POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/set-accounts).

Method paths: /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv, /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:id, /social-media-posting/:locationId/accounts, and /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/bulk-delete.

Key fields: locationId, csvId, postId, accountId.

2) Automated CSV Import & Scheduling

Trigger: When a new CSV is prepared in Your App, upload via POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv and schedule posts accordingly.

Actions: Upload CSV (POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv), view CSVs (GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv), manage specific CSVs (GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:id; DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:id; PATCH /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:id), and attach accounts (POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/set-accounts).

Paths: POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv; GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv; GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:id; DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:id; PATCH /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:id.

Fields: locationId, csvId, id.

3) Direct Posting with Bulk Deletion

Trigger: After content is prepared, push posts directly to social accounts and optionally remove outdated posts in bulk.

Actions: Use posting endpoints to publish (POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/accounts and related endpoints), manage accounts, and perform bulk deletions via POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/bulk-delete.

Paths: /social-media-posting/:locationId/accounts, /social-media-posting/:locationId/accounts/:id, /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/bulk-delete.

Fields: locationId, id, accountId, postId.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Social Media API and what can I do with it?

The Social Media API lets you programmatically manage posting, CSV workflows, and accounts for Your App. It provides structured endpoints to publish content, import and export data via CSV, and oversee account settings across locations. This API enables automation at scale with secure access.

To authenticate, obtain an API key with the saas/company.write scope and include the token in each request. Use standard OAuth 2.0 flows or API key headers as appropriate for your integration. Always rotate tokens and enforce least privilege access.

CSV-related endpoints include POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv, GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv, GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:id, PATCH /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:id, and DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:id. These allow bulk uploads, updates, and cleanup of CSV data tied to specific locations.

Yes. You can bulk delete posts via POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/bulk-delete and purge CSV-derived posts or outdated entries using the related delete endpoints. Ensure you have the proper locationId and IDs for targeted deletions.

The required scope for write operations is saas/company.write. This scope governs creating, updating, and deleting resources such as accounts, CSVs, and posts. Use the principle of least privilege when requesting scopes for your app.

Test endpoints in a staging environment by using sample location IDs and sandbox CSV data. Verify responses, status codes, and data integrity before moving to production. Use mock data to replicate real-world workflows.

Location-based accounts are managed via endpoints like GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/accounts and POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/set-accounts. This supports multi-location setups and role-based access control for teams.
