Installation
pip install late-sdk
Quick Start
from late import Late
late = Late(api_key="your-api-key")
# Publish to multiple platforms with one call
post = late.posts.create(
content="Hello world from Late!",
platforms=[
{"platform": "twitter", "accountId": "acc_xxx"},
{"platform": "linkedin", "accountId": "acc_yyy"},
{"platform": "instagram", "accountId": "acc_zzz"},
],
publish_now=True,
)
print(f"Published to {len(post['post']['platforms'])} platforms!")
Configuration
late = Late(
api_key="your-api-key", # Required
base_url="https://getlate.dev/api", # Optional, this is the default
timeout=30.0, # Optional, request timeout in seconds
)
Examples
Schedule a Post
post = late.posts.create(
content="This post will go live tomorrow at 10am",
platforms=[{"platform": "instagram", "accountId": "acc_xxx"}],
scheduled_for="2025-02-01T10:00:00Z",
)
Platform-Specific Content
Customize content per platform while posting to all at once:
post = late.posts.create(
content="Default content",
platforms=[
{
"platform": "twitter",
"accountId": "acc_twitter",
"platformSpecificContent": "Short & punchy for X",
},
{
"platform": "linkedin",
"accountId": "acc_linkedin",
"platformSpecificContent": "Professional tone for LinkedIn with more detail.",
},
],
publish_now=True,
)
Upload Media
# Option 1: Direct upload (simplest)
result = late.media.upload("path/to/video.mp4")
media_url = result["publicUrl"]
# Option 2: Upload from bytes
result = late.media.upload_bytes(video_bytes, "video.mp4", "video/mp4")
media_url = result["publicUrl"]
# Create post with media
post = late.posts.create(
content="Check out this video!",
media_urls=[media_url],
platforms=[
{"platform": "tiktok", "accountId": "acc_xxx"},
{"platform": "youtube", "accountId": "acc_yyy", "youtubeTitle": "My Video"},
],
publish_now=True,
)
