Social Media API for Developers

Schedule a post across multiple platforms with a single API call

curl -X POST https://getlate.dev/api/v1/posts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "content": "Hello from Late API! 🚀",
    "scheduledFor": "2026-03-15T10:00:00Z",
    "timezone": "America/New_York",
    "platforms": [
      {"platform": "twitter", "accountId": "acc_123"},
      {"platform": "linkedin", "accountId": "acc_456"},
      {"platform": "instagram", "accountId": "acc_789"}
    ]
  }'

Use the requests library to schedule a post from Python

import requests

API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"
BASE_URL = "https://getlate.dev/api/v1"

response = requests.post(
    f"{BASE_URL}/posts",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    json={
        "content": "Automated post from Python 🐍",
        "scheduledFor": "2026-03-15T10:00:00Z",
        "timezone": "Europe/London",
        "platforms": [
            {"platform": "twitter", "accountId": "acc_123"},
            {"platform": "linkedin", "accountId": "acc_456"}
        ]
    }
)

print(response.json())  # {"id": "post_abc", "status": "scheduled"}

Use fetch to schedule a post from Node.js or any JavaScript environment

const response = await fetch("https://getlate.dev/api/v1/posts", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    content: "Posted from Node.js! 🟢",
    scheduledFor: "2026-03-15T10:00:00Z",
    timezone: "Asia/Tokyo",
    platforms: [
      { platform: "twitter", accountId: "acc_123" },
      { platform: "instagram", accountId: "acc_789" }
    ]
  })
});

const post = await response.json();
console.log(post); // { id: "post_abc", status: "scheduled" }
