Organisation API keys carry no scopes, there is no idempotency key, and the status page shows one API outage of 4 hours 3 minutes on 31 August 2026.\n\n**Sprout Social API.** The API reads analytics, inbox messages, listening topics and cases across the main networks, with OAuth client credentials, field selection and a dated changelog. It creates draft posts only, so a person must publish them in Sprout. Access needs the Advanced plan at $399 per seat a month, and no OpenAPI file or SDK was found.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### bundle.social\n\n1. Send the key in the `x-api-key` header to `https://api.bundle.social/api/v1`. A missing key returns 401 and a bad key 403\n2. Pass `teamId` on most calls. Set `BUNDLESOCIAL_TEAM_ID` for the MCP server or CLI when the organisation has more than one team\n3. Set a `referenceKey` on each post and look it up with the reference-key endpoint before retrying a create, because there is no idempotency key\n4. Check `GET /api/v1/organization/usage/daily-limits` before bulk scheduling. Failed and deleted posts still count against the monthly quota\n5. A person must complete each network's OAuth consent in a browser. Keep prepaid credit for X, where a post costs $0.015 or $0.20 with a link\n\n### Sprout Social API\n\n1. Call `GET /v1/metadata/client` first for the customer ID, then `GET /v1/\u003ccustomer ID\u003e/metadata/customer` for profile and group IDs. Every other path needs them\n2. Send `is_draft: true` on `POST /v1/\u003ccustomer ID\u003e/publishing/posts`. Tell the user the draft waits in the Sprout calendar for a person to publish\n3. Name the `fields` you want on messages and posts requests. Without the list only `guid` comes back\n4. Stay under 60 requests a minute and 250,000 a month, and back off on 429 on your own because no `Retry-After` is documented\n5. Check the response when a draft names several profiles. A profile that cannot take the attached media is dropped with no error\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, bundle.social or Sprout Social API?\n\nbundle.social scores 60.1 (C) on agent readiness against Sprout Social API's 54.7 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Sprout Social API leads on reliability, security \u0026 auth and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do bundle.social and Sprout Social API need an API key?\n\nbundle.social needs an API key. Sprout Social API takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call bundle.social and Sprout Social API without installing anything?\n\nYes. bundle.social has a hosted endpoint at https://api.bundle.social/api/v1 and Sprout Social API at https://api.sproutsocial.com.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bundle-social-vs-sprout-social.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bundle-social-vs-sprout-social.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"bundle-social\", \"b\": \"sprout-social\"}`.
