API & Developer Tools

Schedule posts, manage accounts, and upload media programmatically. Build your own integrations, automate workflows, or connect PublishQ to your existing tools.

The PublishQ API is a REST API that lets developers schedule posts, upload media, and manage social accounts programmatically across all supported platforms. API access is included on all plans including free — unlike competitors like Buffer and Hootsuite that gate API access behind paid or enterprise tiers. Full OpenAPI documentation is available at publishq.com/docs.

— me 👋

Hi, I'm Alexandro 👋

I left my Software Engineer role at Amazon to build tools that solve real problems — the kind big companies ignore because they read spreadsheets instead of using their own products.

I was spending over an hour daily just scheduling 2 shorts across 3 platforms — logging in, reformatting, uploading one by one. That felt broken. So I built PublishQ . Now I create 4 shorts in 3 minutes and schedule them to 4 platforms in under 30 seconds.

PublishQ is bootstrapped. No investors, no vanity metrics. I build what actually helps you — because I use it every day myself.

Thank you,

Alexandro
