From the dashboard

  1. Connect your YouTube account to a profile, with YouTube’s own sign-in.
  2. Write the post once; the composer checks YouTube’s limits and lets you change the text just for YouTube.
  3. Post now, pick a time, add it to your queue, or repeat it every day, week or month.

03

From the API

One request posts to YouTube, and to any other network you add with more platform[] fields:

cURL
curl -X POST https://api.reelspan.com/v1/posts/video \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $REELSPAN_KEY" \
  -F user=my-brand \
  -F "platform[]=youtube" \
  -F "[email protected]" \
  -F "title=Your caption"

Each network’s result comes back on its own, with a signed webhook when it’s live. See the docs.
