Changelog

• Priority Support plans, laid out clearly: The support page now shows a full breakdown of Priority Support tiers, including what each tier includes, pricing, and billing details, so you can compare options and pick the plan that fits your team.
• More ways to reach us: A dedicated section makes it simple to contact the team directly by email or Slack Connect, right from the support page.
• A cleaner support page overall: The layout has been refined throughout for easier browsing and a better experience when you're looking for help.

• X account engagement is no longer null: GET /v1/social-accounts/:id/metrics now returns real engagement totals (views, likes, comments, shares, quotes) for X accounts, calculated from the account's own posts in the requested date range. Previously this field always returned null since X's free tier doesn't expose engagement totals directly. Note that X bills this lookup against your own connected app at roughly $0.005 per post (up to ~$2.50 per call), and if X's rate limits or API tier block the request, engagement gracefully falls back to null with an explanatory note instead of failing the whole call.
• Pinterest account engagement is no longer null: The same metrics endpoint now maps Pinterest's existing analytics data into the standard engagement object, giving you views, saves, pin clicks, and outbound clicks instead of an empty field. Full raw analytics remain available for anyone who needs the extra detail.
• "Powered by Outstand" badge: A new embeddable badge is available for customer sites, with light and dark theme variants. Documentation now includes previews on different backgrounds along with ready-to-use HTML snippets.

• TikTok comment limitations documented: The TikTok configuration guide now explains that posting and reading comments, replies, and first-comment containers isn't available for TikTok accounts, along with what is available instead, such as disabling comments at publish time and viewing comment count analytics.
• Network support note for first comments: The first-comment guide now lists which networks don't support a comments API, including TikTok, Pinterest, and Google Business Profile, and clarifies that your root post still publishes successfully even if a first-comment reply targets one of these networks.
• API reference reflects comment restrictions: The reply endpoint descriptions in the API reference now call out which networks are unsupported, so you can catch limitations while reading the docs instead of hitting an error at runtime.

• Alt text for media: Add alt text to images and other media attached to your posts, improving accessibility for your audience. Supported across platforms, including Bluesky.
• PDF uploads to LinkedIn: You can now attach PDF documents to LinkedIn posts. They're automatically detected and rendered as native document posts.
• More reliable Bluesky posting: Session handling for Bluesky accounts has been improved, reducing the chance of failed posts due to expired credentials.
• Clearer errors on post creation: The API now warns you when a post request includes unrecognized fields, helping you catch mistakes before they cause issues.
• Simplified account targeting: Target accounts using the new accounts field, which lets you reference connected accounts by network name or username instead of the old socialAccountIds field.
• Billing cycle visibility: Organization details now include your billing cycle, so you can see when it renews at a glance.
• Updated X posting requirements: Documentation now clarifies that, starting February 2026, new developers need an active access plan on the POST /2/tweets endpoint to post to X.

• Post URLs now available for all networks: Every publish, analytics, and import response can now include a direct link to the published post, not just for Instagram. Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Bluesky, X, Pinterest, Threads, TikTok, Google Business Profile, and Vimeo all now return a platformPostUrl so you can link straight to the live post without building the URL yourself.
• More reliable X media uploads: Uploading media to X is now more robust, with better handling of different response formats so media IDs are picked up correctly and issues are easier to diagnose if an upload fails.
• Smoother API key setup: API key creation now reflects your subscription status more accurately, with clearer loading states and button behavior so you're not left waiting or confused about whether you're able to create a key.

• Large Pinterest videos now upload reliably: Pinterest videos are streamed to Pinterest instead of being loaded into memory all at once, so large files (up to Pinterest's ~2 GB limit) no longer fail to upload. Upload failures are now also reported clearly instead of showing up later as a confusing timeout.
• Repost or reshare posts from MCP clients: A new repost_post tool lets MCP clients reshare an already-published post to the networks it was posted to, with an optional quote/commentary on networks that support it (X, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Threads).
• Sign in to MCP with one click: In addition to API keys, you can now connect to the MCP server with one-click OAuth sign-in from ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or any client that supports remote MCP connectors. API keys remain supported for CLI and headless setups.
• Pinterest profile pictures now load correctly: Pinterest avatars, served from Pinterest's own CDN, now display properly on the accounts page instead of showing as broken images.
• Clearer media requirements and rate limits per network: Each network's configuration guide now documents its media requirements (file size, formats, duration, dimensions, text limits) and publishing rate limits, cross-referenced against each platform's official documentation, so you can plan uploads and posting frequency with confidence.

• Repost existing posts: A new endpoint lets you reshare an already-published post across connected networks, with optional added commentary, so you can amplify content without recreating it from scratch.
• Custom Instagram Reel cover images: You can now set a custom cover image and thumbnail offset when publishing Reels, so your Reels grid looks intentional instead of relying on an auto-picked frame.
• No more double-billing on plan switch: Legacy subscribers who previously added the standalone Managed Keys add-on and then switch to the new plan (which bundles Managed Keys for free) are no longer charged for it twice.
• Redesigned dashboard and account pages: The dashboard, sign-in and account screens, settings, billing, API keys, webhooks, and accounts pages all got a visual refresh for a cleaner, more consistent look.
• Unlimited Posting add-on is easier to find: The Unlimited Posting add-on is now promoted directly in the web app so you can discover and enable it without digging through settings.
• Faster docs updates: Documentation changes now go live noticeably faster.
• Legible code samples in light mode: Code blocks and inline code chips on documentation pages now render with proper contrast in light mode instead of dark text on a dark background.

• Large video uploads to YouTube and LinkedIn now succeed reliably: Previously, large video files could fail to upload to YouTube or LinkedIn due to memory limits. Videos are now uploaded in small pieces instead of all at once, so even large files post successfully.
• Copy improvements across the board: Various wording and messaging updates throughout the product for clarity.
• No more duplicate charges when upgrading your plan: Customers who previously added the standalone Managed Keys addon and then migrated to a plan that includes it for free will no longer be billed for both the addon and the bundled feature.

ps: as you might have noticed, we have started following a new Changelog-reporting format, using dates.

• Instagram post links in your API responses: Every Instagram post now includes a platformPostUrl field with the live permalink to the post, available when you fetch a single post, list posts, or receive the post.published webhook. If a permalink can't be fetched for any reason, publishing still succeeds and the field simply returns null.
• Post links in analytics too: The analytics endpoint (and the corresponding MCP tool) now returns the Instagram permalink as platform_post_url alongside your other metrics.
• Older Instagram posts get their links filled in automatically: If you fetch analytics for an Instagram post published before this feature existed, we now fetch and save its permalink on the fly so it shows up in that same response going forward, no action needed on your end.
• Clearer error when importing personal LinkedIn accounts: Attempting to import posts for a personal LinkedIn account (rather than a company page) now fails immediately with a clear, human-readable error instead of silently failing later. Our docs also now note that this permission isn't currently available for personal accounts.

• Large YouTube uploads now succeed: Videos that previously failed to upload due to an internal memory limit now stream reliably regardless of file size, so long or high-resolution videos published to YouTube no longer get stuck or error out.
• Instagram Reels views metric: You can now fetch the views count for Instagram Reels as part of media insights, giving you a fuller picture of Reels performance alongside your other engagement metrics.
• More reliable TikTok metrics: TikTok metrics fetching has been improved for better accuracy and reliability when pulling post performance data.
• New "Building a Social Media Scheduler" guide: A step-by-step, copy-paste walkthrough for authenticating, scheduling posts, listing your queue, and interpreting per-account outcomes, with full TypeScript and Python examples, plus corrected request/response examples in the Quick Start.
• New architecture explainer: A new "How It Works: Architecture" page walks through how posts flow from request to publish, including synchronous vs. asynchronous handling, partial-success behavior, rate limiting and retries, and what to expect for scheduling accuracy and performance under load.
• New developer quickstart, platform list, and pricing guide: A one-page quickstart for connecting an account and creating your first post, a clear table of supported platforms, and worked cost examples at 1k, 10k, and 100k posts per month to help you estimate integration effort and spend.
• Refreshed MCP and white-label pages: The MCP and white-label landing pages have been updated to our latest design.

Changelog

- Added TikTok Managed Keys

- Improved the Facebook Page health check returning accurate health status for Facebook Pages

- Added per-account publish results: multi-account publishes now return an individual success/failure result for each target account instead of a single combined status

Changelog

- Added LinkedIn page mention validation: rejects posts where the mention text doesn't match the organization's exact registered name on LinkedIn (case-sensitive), preventing silent plain-text fallback

- Added Facebook mention validation: rejects posts where the anchor text is missing from comment containers, or where the target page ID is inaccessible

- Moved Facebook page tagging from the post body to comment containers — Meta's Graph API only supports @[pageId] mentions in comments, not feed posts

- facebook.mentions now requires at least one comment container (second containers entry) whose text contains the anchor; posting mentions without a comment container returns a clear error

We're adding Pinterest to the Outstand network lineup. You can now connect Pinterest accounts and publish to them through the same unified API you already use for every other platform.

Connect with zero setup - managed keys

Unlike networks that require you to bring your own OAuth credentials, Pinterest connections run on Outstand-managed keys. There's no Pinterest developer app to register, no client ID and secret to provision - your customers can authorize a Pinterest account and start publishing immediately.

Publish pins - images and video

Create pins through the unified posts API, with full Pinterest options:

• Target a board - choose which board a pin lands on
• Destination link, title, and alt text - set the pin's link, title, and accessibility text
• Video pins - upload video natively. Pinterest doesn't accept a video URL as a source, so Outstand handles the whole flow for you: we download the media, request an upload slot from Pinterest, and upload it - you just pass the media and we take care of the rest.

Manage boards and profiles

New Pinterest-specific endpoints let you work with the account directly:

• Get profile - read the connected Pinterest profile
• List boards - fetch the account's boards
• Create a board - create a new board to publish into

Get started

Connect a Pinterest account from your dashboard or via the API, then publish using the standard posts endpoint with Pinterest options. Full reference is in the Pinterest API docs.

Just added support for custom scopes. That means you can easily use the scopes parameter in the authentication endpoint and customize the default list of scopes for its network that supports it.

Added the ability to invite and manage team members.

Owners and admins of teams can now invite more team members. There is no limit in how many members a team can have.

API endpoint added:

• /v1/social-accounts/:id/health: a specialized endpoint for confirming/validating the health and the connection of a social account - if needed - before use.
• documentation: https://www.outstand.so/docs/check-account-health

Improvemenets:

• Adjustable LinkedIn articles in feed. Content customization is now possible to the extent that LinkedIn API allows. More docs here: https://www.outstand.so/docs/create-a-post
• We have started automatically refreshing profile picture URLs which had been expired. This runs automatically to all connected accounts without any further configuration required.

We've added Pinterest as a fully supported network in Outstand. You can now connect Pinterest business accounts to your organization, list and create boards, publish image pins with titles, descriptions, links, and alt text, and pull pin analytics.

What's new

• OAuth connect flow - one-click Pinterest connection from the Settings → Accounts screen
• Pinterest composer - a dedicated /compose/pinterest page that walks you through selecting an account, picking or creating a board, and publishing a pin with full Pinterest-specific fields: title, description, destination link, and alt text.
• Board management - list a connected user's boards and create new ones (public) from inside the composer.

LinkedIn improvements:

• personal accounts can now pull metrics using the latest LinkedIn APIs
• fixed MCP integration with LinkedIn which resulted in some cases in wrong personal profiles URNs
