Publishing only, with no comments, DMs or inbox, and analytics for TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook only.\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### Post Bridge API + MCP\n\n1. Call list_social_accounts first, upload media, then create_post. Omit scheduled_at to publish at once\n2. Check list_post_results before republishing a failed Instagram post, since Meta 500s often publish anyway\n3. Set is_draft true when a person should approve the post\n4. Put links for X in a reply, because captions sent to X lose their URLs\n5. Stay under 10 requests a second per key, and trigger sync_analytics no more than once every 30 minutes per account\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, Post Bridge API + MCP or Sprout Social API?\n\nSprout Social API scores 54.7 (C) on agent readiness against Post Bridge API + MCP's 48.3 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Post Bridge API + MCP leads on schema \u0026 documentation and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do Post Bridge API + MCP and Sprout Social API need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Post Bridge API + MCP and Sprout Social API without installing anything?\n\nYes.
