Skill UI

This skill provides a comprehensive workflow for scheduling social media posts using the Hootsuite REST API. It manages the entire publishing lifecycle: users first upload media (images or videos) to obtain a media ID. Subsequently, the skill uses this ID, along with text content and target profiles, to schedule the post across various social networks. It supports both single and bulk scheduling operations, ensuring efficient content automation.

This skill provides comprehensive integration with the Hootsuite API, allowing users to perform deep social media analytics and optimize content sharing. Key functions include retrieving organization analytics, monitoring message performance, tracking social profile metrics, and utilizing Ow.ly for efficient batch URL shortening. It is essential for marketing professionals needing to measure campaign ROI and manage large volumes of content links.

This skill guides users through optimizing their Hootsuite platform usage and subscription costs. It provides detailed comparisons of various paid plans (Professional, Business, Enterprise) and offers actionable strategies, such as minimizing API calls, right-sizing plans based on profiles, and implementing usage monitoring to ensure cost efficiency.

This bundle collects comprehensive diagnostic evidence for Hootsuite operations. It gathers API connectivity status, social profile health, scheduled post status, and OAuth token validity into a single, portable archive. Use it when troubleshooting persistent issues like failed scheduling, authentication errors, or disconnected social accounts.

This skill facilitates the deployment of Hootsuite social media management backends across major cloud platforms like Vercel, Fly.io, and Cloud Run. It is essential for setting up production environments, configuring platform-specific secrets, and managing the complex process of OAuth token persistence, ensuring reliable and continuous API access.

This guide demonstrates core functionalities for integrating with Hootsuite using its REST API. It provides complete examples on how to list connected social profiles, schedule posts across multiple networks (Twitter, Facebook, etc.), and retrieve pending messages. It is ideal for developers starting a new social media automation tool or needing to test basic API posting patterns.

This skill guides users through installing and configuring the Hootsuite SDK/CLI authentication using OAuth 2.0. It covers the entire OAuth flow, including app registration, exchanging authorization codes for access tokens, and implementing token refreshing mechanisms. Essential for initializing any new Hootsuite integration project.

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.

This comprehensive checklist guides the safe and reliable deployment of Hootsuite integrations and social media automation tools into a live production environment. It covers critical areas such as API key management, rate limit handling, implementing circuit breakers, error resilience (retries, timezones), and establishing robust monitoring alerts. Use this before any major launch or system upgrade to ensure continuous, fail-safe content publishing.

This skill provides best practices for managing API rate limits when interacting with the Hootsuite platform. It demonstrates implementing robust retry logic, incorporating exponential backoff using the `Retry-After` header, and using queue-based scheduling to ensure stable, high-throughput API calls while respecting platform constraints.

A comprehensive guide to implementing Hootsuite integrations using industry best practices. This reference covers the recommended architecture, project structure, and key development decisions (such as OAuth flow, rate limit handling, and content scheduling) necessary for building robust, scalable, and maintainable social media automation tools.

This guide provides production-ready, structured code patterns for integrating with the Hootsuite REST API using TypeScript and Python. It includes type-safe API clients, timezone-aware scheduling helpers, and cross-platform content formatting utilities. Ideal for building robust, scalable social media management systems or refactoring existing SDK usage.
