Optimize Hootsuite API Performance

v20260423
hootsuite-performance-tuning
This skill provides advanced techniques to optimize interactions with the Hootsuite API. It addresses common performance bottlenecks by implementing efficient LRU caching for social profiles, optimizing message scheduling through concurrent batch processing, and ensuring robust connection reuse. Use this when experiencing slow API responses or needing to process high volumes of automation tasks efficiently.

Hootsuite Performance Tuning

Instructions

Step 1: Cache Social Profiles

import { LRUCache } from 'lru-cache';

const profileCache = new LRUCache<string, any>({ max: 100, ttl: 3600000 });

async function getCachedProfiles(): Promise<any[]> {
  const cached = profileCache.get('profiles');
  if (cached) return cached;

  const response = await fetch('https://platform.hootsuite.com/v1/socialProfiles', {
    headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${await getStoredToken()}` },
  });
  const { data } = await response.json();
  profileCache.set('profiles', data);
  return data;
}

Step 2: Batch Message Scheduling

import PQueue from 'p-queue';

const scheduleQueue = new PQueue({ concurrency: 2, interval: 1000, intervalCap: 2 });

async function batchSchedule(posts: Array<{ text: string; profileId: string; time: Date }>) {
  const results = await Promise.allSettled(
    posts.map(post =>
      scheduleQueue.add(() =>
        fetch('https://platform.hootsuite.com/v1/messages', {
          method: 'POST',
          headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.HOOTSUITE_ACCESS_TOKEN}`, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
          body: JSON.stringify({ text: post.text, socialProfileIds: [post.profileId], scheduledSendTime: post.time.toISOString() }),
        }).then(r => r.json())
      )
    )
  );
  const succeeded = results.filter(r => r.status === 'fulfilled').length;
  console.log(`Scheduled ${succeeded}/${posts.length} posts`);
}

Step 3: Connection Reuse

import { Agent } from 'https';
const agent = new Agent({ keepAlive: true, maxSockets: 5 });
// Pass agent to fetch/axios for connection reuse to platform.hootsuite.com
