YouTube API

YouTube Scheduling API

Queue YouTube videos and Shorts for future publishing programmatically. Pass a publish time and a timezone, and PostPeer holds the upload until that exact local moment. OAuth, token refresh, and rate limits are handled for you.

Queue video and Shorts uploads for any future date and time
IANA timezone support so 9am means 9am in the creator local zone
Exact-time delivery, not a best-effort window
OAuth handled, no Google Cloud project on your side

Everything You Need to Schedule YouTube Uploads

Plan your YouTube publishing calendar through one endpoint. Set a time and a timezone, and PostPeer delivers the upload at the exact local moment.

Future-Dated Uploads

Send a scheduledFor timestamp with your upload and PostPeer queues the video instead of publishing immediately. The upload processes at the moment you set, not before.

Timezone-Aware Delivery

Pass an IANA timezone like America/New_York alongside scheduledFor. PostPeer resolves the local time to an exact instant, so daylight saving shifts never move your publish slot.

Content Calendar via API

Queue weeks or months of videos in advance with one call each. Build an editorial calendar in your own product and let PostPeer hold every slot until its publish time.

Reschedule and Cancel

Update the scheduledFor time on a queued upload or cancel it entirely before it publishes. Move a slot when your edit runs late without re-uploading the file.

Shorts and Long-Form

The same scheduling flow covers standard YouTube videos and Shorts. Set title, description, tags, and privacy, then queue the delivery time.

Cross-Platform Queuing

Schedule the same drop to YouTube plus other platforms in one request, each with its own account. Every platform in the array shares the scheduledFor and timezone.
