Upload-Post
Unified Social Media API to auto-publish videos, images, and posts across 10+ networks
Upload-Post is the most system-friendly choice for developers and growth teams who need to publish and schedule content across multiple social networks via one API. In our LinkStart Lab evaluation, it removes the platform-by-platform OAuth and media compliance burden that usually blocks automation. If you already generate content with AI, Upload-Post is the missing “last-mile” layer that turns creation into consistent distribution.
Why we love it
- Best for unified posting workflows where TikTok + Instagram + YouTube + LinkedIn must ship from the same pipeline.
- Scheduling + analytics in one API makes it realistic to build a closed-loop growth system (publish → measure → iterate).
- Free tier with 10 uploads/month is enough to validate an MVP before committing to paid plans.
Things to know
- Plan limits are tied to “profiles” (connected accounts), so agencies may outgrow lower tiers quickly.
- The $16/month entry plan is billed annually, which is great for commitment but not ideal for short experiments.
- If you need deep, network-specific features beyond the unified surface area, you may still need native APIs.
About
Upload-Post is a unified Social Media API built for developers and growth teams who want to ship content distribution as a reliable system, not a manual task. With one API, you can upload once and publish (or schedule) to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Threads, Pinterest, Reddit, and Bluesky—while keeping OAuth and platform compliance handled in one place.
AI-first angle: Upload-Post becomes a distribution layer for your AI stack. Pair it with Translation & Language (Whisper transcripts), Text Generators (captions), and Video Editing (FFmpeg jobs) to build an end-to-end pipeline: Generate → Transform → Schedule → Measure.
Pricing model: Upload-Post offers a Free tier ($0) with 10 uploads/month, with paid plans starting at $16/month (billed annually). It is less expensive than average for unified posting APIs when you factor in the engineering time saved.
LinkStart note: the key value is not “posting” itself—it is eliminating the multi-platform integration tax (separate OAuth flows, inconsistent media constraints, and different endpoints) so you can focus on content quality and automation logic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes—freemium. It offers a Free tier ($0) with 10 uploads/month; paid plans start at $16/month (billed annually) for higher limits and more profiles.
Yes. The docs specify API key auth via the Authorization header ("Authorization: Apikey ...") and a base URL under https://api.upload-post.com/api, which is ideal for Automation Tools integrations.
Choose Upload-Post when speed-to-market and reliability matter more than edge-case platform controls. While native APIs give maximum granularity, Upload-Post reduces OAuth and media-spec complexity so your automation ships faster and fails less often.
Yes. A common SOP is: generate captions with an LLM, produce the final asset (optional FFmpeg transform), then schedule posts via Upload-Post so distribution is automated inside your Automation Tools stack.
