API key in the query string on REST and in the MCP URL, with no scopes.\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### OneUp API + MCP\n\n1. Call listcategory, then listcategoryaccount, then schedule. Pass social_network_id as ALL to post to every account in a category\n2. Keep the ?apiKey= URLs out of logs and shared configs, and regenerate the key on the API Access page if one leaks\n3. Set requireApproval or isDraftPost true when a person should review before anything goes out\n4. Page through lists with start, 50 posts at a time\n5. Give dates as YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM with no timezone field, so confirm the account timezone first\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, OneUp API + MCP or Sprout Social API?\n\nSprout Social API scores 54.7 (C) on agent readiness against OneUp API + MCP's 24.4 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.
