Project description
Automated Social Media Posting APIs
Social Post API is a client for Ayrshare's APIs. Ayrshare is a powerful set of APIs that enable you to automate server-side social media posts to Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Reddit, and Telegram for your company on behalf of your users.
The Ayrshare API handles all the setup and maintenance for the social media networks. One API to rule them all (yeah, went there). See the full list of features.
If you have a platform or manage multiple clients contact us about the business plan.
Also, check out our video of installing and using the package.
