Socialia
Unified social media management — posting, analytics, and insights
Part of SciTeX for scientific research automation.

Problem and Solution
| # | Problem | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Each social platform has a different API -- tweepy + LinkedIn UGC + PRAW + slack-sdk + YouTube Data API + GA4 — 6 different auth stories | Unified socialia post <platform> -- one CLI + MCP interface across Twitter / LinkedIn / Reddit / Slack / YouTube; auth handled behind the scenes |
| 2 | Agents need to post/retract without clicking -- but every platform's Python SDK is a different shape | MCP tools social_post / social_delete / social_status -- agent-friendly surface: one call per action; structured response |
Installation
Recommended:
uv pip install socialia[all]— uv's Rust resolver handles the SciTeX dep set in 1-3 min where pip's serial backtracker can take 30+ min on the full extras. Plainpip installstill works; the install block below shows both.
pip install socialia
# Or with optional dependencies
pip install socialia[reddit] # Reddit support
pip install socialia[youtube] # YouTube support
pip install socialia[analytics] # Google Analytics Data API
pip install socialia[all] # Everything
Demo
# One-shot post across platforms (uses ~/.scitex/socialia/config.yaml creds)
socialia post twitter "Hello World!"
socialia post linkedin --file drafts/announce.md
# Schedule + analytics
socialia schedule list
socialia analytics show-pageviews --days 7

A single Python core dispatches to per-platform adapters; CLI / MCP share the same Python API surface.
Quick Start
from socialia import Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, YouTube, GoogleAnalytics
# Post to Twitter
twitter = Twitter()
twitter.post("Hello World!")
# Post to LinkedIn
linkedin = LinkedIn()
linkedin.post("Professional update!")
# Track analytics
ga = GoogleAnalytics()
ga.track_event("page_view", {"page": "/docs"})
CLI Usage
