Install

npm install yeetpost
# or
yarn add yeetpost
# or
pnpm add yeetpost

Setup

First, get your API key from https://app.yeetpost.com/settings.

Set it as in your .env or .env.local file:

# Store your API key in an environment variable
YEETPOST_API_KEY=your-api-key

Or pass it as an option to the yeetpost function:

import { yeetpost } from "yeetpost";

const result = await yeetpost({
  apiKey: "your-api-key",
  // other options...
});

Usage

Send a new post:

import { yeetpost } from "yeetpost";

const result = await yeetpost({
  connection: "linkedin", // connection slug, e.g. "linkedin", "x", etc.
  text: "Hello, world!",
});

If you don't care about the result, you can set noError: true:

import { yeetpost } from "yeetpost";

const result = await yeetpost({
  connection: "linkedin",
  text: "Hello, world!",
  noError: true,
});

Limits

Each platform has its own length limits (note that emojis consume more than 1 character):

Platform	Usage Type	Length Limits	Docs
Email	Message	See docs	Docs
LinkedIn	Post	See docs	Docs
Slack	Message	See docs	Docs
SMS	Message	See docs	Docs
X (Twitter)	Post	See docs	Docs

Your usage is limited by your subscription plan. Each plan includes a certain number of posts and a certain number of messages per month. Posts and messages are consumed based on the platform you're posting to:

• Posts: LinkedIn, X
• Messages: SMS, Email, Slack

});
