One API for every social platform
Nylon gives your application a single, consistent API for social accounts. Your users connect their accounts through Nylon, and your backend works against one contract instead of one integration per network. The product has three pillars. Each has a fixed colour and icon throughout these docs, so you always know which one you are reading about.Publishing
Post to every connected network from one request. Live on 12 networks.
Inbox
Read and reply to DMs and comments. Live on Facebook and Instagram.
Analytics
Normalised metrics on one schema. In build — not yet available.
Only functionality marked live is callable today. Endpoint reference is currently limited to
GET /v1/profiles — see API reference for exactly what ships in these docs.How it works

Connect an account
Add social accounts from the Nylon Connections page. Nylon owns the OAuth app, the refresh cycle and the re-auth prompt.
2
Create an API key
Create a key from the API page and store it in your secret manager.
3
Call the API
Send the key as a bearer token from your backend.
