Platform OAuth is a project of its own.
Professional accounts, linked pages, scopes, token exchange. You budget a sprint for the integration and spend all of it on auth.

scheduled Why you need it
Every team that wires Instagram or X by hand hits the same five walls.
In-house tool, embedded in your SaaS, or shipped to your clients.
// token decay
Tokens expire silently and take your posts with them.
A grant lapses on a Friday. Nothing publishes all weekend. Nobody notices until the client does.
// container quirks
Publishing is never just one API call upstream.
Create a media container, poll it, handle timeouts, then publish. Every media type has its own rules and failure modes.
// retry roulette
Retries without idempotency mean duplicate posts.
The call times out, you retry, and the post goes out twice. Building safe retries takes longer than the happy path.
// account sprawl
Ten accounts means ten times the plumbing.
Every client account multiplies tokens, quirks and failure states. Your integration code grows faster than your product.
What you get
Publishing and insights. The API does the work. The dashboard shows it.

How it works
Anatomy of a publish job. One POST creates it. We take it from there.
Validation, media containers, polling, publishing, status. The failure path is built in.
01 · Create
POST /publishing/jobs
Targets, media URLs, caption, optional schedule. A client request ID makes retries safe.
{
"targets": ["ig_acme", "x_acme"],
"mediaItems": ["https://cdn.acme.co/launch.png"],
"caption": "Launch day.",
"clientRequestId": "post-001"
} 02 · Validate
CHECK validation
Payload and targets validated on create. Bad requests fail fast with a clear code.

03 · Orchestrate
RUN durable workflow
A durable workflow picks the job up at publish time. Restarts don't lose it.

Built by EmbedSocial. We run social platform APIs in production every day, and absorb platform changes so your code doesn't move.
Doing the thing
InvisibleAPI
DIY on the raw APIs
Onboard an account
●OAuth flow handled, tokens refreshed, reconnect in one click.
○Build the OAuth dance, store tokens, refresh them, handle expiry.
Publish a carousel
●One POST with a list of media URLs.
○Create child containers, poll each, create the parent, poll, publish.
Retry a failed post
●One retry call. Classified failure, capped at 5, never a duplicate.
○Guess whether it's safe to retry. Deduplicate by hand.
Publish to many accounts
●One job, many targets. Per-target status.
○Loop, throttle, and track each account's state yourself.
When a platform changes its API
●We absorb the change. Your code doesn't move.
○Your integration breaks. You drop everything.
Let an agent post
●MCP server with scoped keys and a consent screen.
○Roll your own tool layer and hope the auth is tight.
Big SaaS gives you their dashboard. Raw platform APIs give you a moving target. We hand you one unified social media API, so you can ship social features.
“We ran social platform APIs for 15 years. This is the API we wished we had.”

Honest answers
Things you're about to ask.
Which platforms does the social media API support?
Instagram and X are live today. On Instagram you publish images, carousels and videos (videos publish as Reels) with professional accounts. On X you publish text posts up to 280 characters, up to 4 images, or a single video. TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube are coming soon.
What do I need on the Instagram side?
An Instagram professional account (Business or Creator). You connect it through Meta's OAuth flow in our dashboard, and we keep the long-lived token refreshed. If a grant expires, the account shows as needing reauthorization and you reconnect in one click.
How does media upload work?
You host the file and pass its public URL in the publish job. One media item makes a single post, several images make a carousel. We fetch the media, create the provider container, poll it and publish.
Can I schedule posts?
Yes. Set requestedPublishAt on the job and it publishes at that time. You can list scheduled jobs at any time and cancel any job before it is dispatched.
What happens when a publish fails?
Every failure is classified: a category, a code, and an instruction that tells you whether it is retryable. Retryable jobs can be retried up to 5 times, and a retry never produces a duplicate post. We also email you when a job fails.
How does the MCP server work?
Connect Claude or any MCP-compatible client to our MCP endpoint. Auth is an organization API key with MCP scopes, or OAuth with a consent screen where you pick the organization your agent may act in. The agent can then create, schedule and manage publish jobs. n8n and Zapier integrations and a CLI are coming soon.
What are the limits?
Each connected account can publish 100 posts per billing period. The limits endpoint shows the configured limit, current usage and remaining allowance live, so your code can check before it publishes.
How do the trial and billing work?
Start with a 7-day free trial through Stripe checkout. After that it is $9 a month for 2 connected sources plus $5 a month for each additional source. Monthly billing, managed in the Stripe customer portal.
