How to Publish to Multiple Social Networks with One API

Use Postifys to publish videos and images to Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and TikTok through one API key while respecting platform-specific endpoints and limits.

Reviewed: 2026-08-31

Answer: Create a Postifys account, connect each destination, generate an API key, then call platform endpoints such as /api/facebook/post and /api/instagram/post. Keep payloads platform-specific; unified auth does not mean identical fields.

Who this is for

Developers and automation teams who need multi-network publishing without maintaining six OAuth stacks.

Steps

  1. Follow Getting started.
  2. Connect destinations and verify with Authentication.
  3. Publish using Create a post examples.
  4. Track failures with Errors and Post History.
TikTok supports approved Direct Post plus optional Draft Upload; LinkedIn targets member profiles only.

How to schedule posts on multiple platforms

Postifys executes a publish when your workflow or app calls it — the schedule time usually lives in your calendar source, CMS, or automation tool:

To post to Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn in one workflow, see post to Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn simultaneously.

What this means in a real publishing workflow

Postifys provides one authentication layer for several social publishing endpoints while retaining platform-specific request shapes. The API key identifies the Postifys user; connected destination IDs determine where each post is sent.

Recommended implementation

  1. Create an API key and query the available connections.
  2. Resolve the exact Page, channel, board, or profile ID.
  3. Send the platform-specific payload with reachable media.
  4. Persist the returned Postifys ID and reconcile the final history state.

How to verify the fix

Start with one destination per platform. Once account selection and media handling are proven, add fan-out, scheduling, alerts, and safe retry logic.

Operational check: Test with one item, confirm the final destination and Postifys history state, and only then enable the recurring workflow. Keep the returned Postifys ID beside the source row so every result remains traceable.
