• The /history/instagram endpoint fields caption, message, createdTime and timestamp fields were deprecated on April 1, 2023 and will be removed. Please use the post and created fields.

• The /history/linkedin endpoint field mediaUrls will be returned as an array instead of an object to support multiple images. You can force the array being returned now by including the LinkedIn query parameter ?multiMedia=true. Please note, before December 1, 2023 the multiMedia query parameter must be used to return media with multiple images. After December 1, 2023 multiple images will be returned by default.

• The Scheduled Action TikTok webhook will have the String platform deprecated. Please use the platforms array field as is done for other Scheduled Action webhooks.

• The delete comment docs have been corrected to align with the correct return.

  • The TikTok commentId field will be replaced with the id field to align with the standard comment delete format.

  • The Twitter delete comment return will no longer contain a posts array so the return aligns with the standard comment delete format. The new return will be as follows:

    "twitter": {
            "action": "delete",
            "status": "success",
            "id": "Ugy2m5u-LS9M29Gn3hd4AaABAg"

Changes in Effect May 8, 2023

We're excited to launch TikTok direct publishing, comment management, and advanced analytics. Your users will no longer need to open their TikTok mobile app to post and enter caption text. Now after sending via Ayrshare, the TikTok video and caption is directly published.

We're also introducing adding, getting, and deleting TikTok comments + demographic analytics data.

Your user will need to unlink and relink their TikTok account to enable direct publishing. Existing connections will continue with the indirect method and require the TikTok mobile app to publish.
