API Limitations per Social Network

API Limitations

As an official partner of Meta, Google, and X, we work closely with all major social media platforms to provide the most comprehensive set of features available. However, certain features may not be accessible due to platform restrictions. Social networks sometimes choose not to make specific functionalities available through their APIs, which means third-party tools are unable to offer them.

Here is a summary of platform-specific limitations. Click on each platform to see all the details.
