What This Skill Does

The late-api skill provides comprehensive integration with the Late Social Media Scheduling API, allowing OpenClaw agents to manage, schedule, and analyze content across 13 major social media platforms. It handles the complexities of platform-specific requirements, OAuth authentication, media handling, and queue management. By utilizing this skill, agents can perform automated posting, retrieve detailed analytics for platforms like LinkedIn and YouTube, and monitor post health through a centralized interface. The skill simplifies the integration by offering structured endpoints for profiles, connection flows, and robust post lifecycle management.

Installation

To install this skill, run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/mikipalet/late-api Ensure your API key is correctly configured within your agent settings to authorize requests to https://getlate.dev/api/v1.

Use Cases

This skill is designed for advanced social media management and automation. Use it to build an automated content calendar where the AI generates and schedules posts across multiple channels simultaneously. It is ideal for marketing teams needing a unified dashboard to manage diverse platforms like TikTok, Reddit, and Threads. Additionally, it can be used to set up automated monitoring workflows that check platform-specific analytics or verify if scheduled posts have successfully propagated to all accounts. The skill is particularly useful for developers building cross-platform engagement bots that need to respond or post based on triggered events.

Example Prompts

1. "Schedule a new LinkedIn post with the image at /assets/campaign.png, and make sure it goes out to all three of my connected brand accounts tomorrow at 9 AM."
2. "Check the current queue for my Twitter account and tell me how many posts are scheduled for the next 48 hours."
3. "Can you fetch the latest performance analytics for my YouTube channel and summarize the daily views over the last week?"

Tips & Limitations

When working with the Late API, always verify that your media formats adhere to the specific limits of the target platform as defined in the rules/media.md file. Note that authentication must be handled via OAuth flows for most platforms; ensure your webhooks are properly configured to receive real-time updates regarding post status. Be mindful of platform-specific rate limits when scheduling high-volume bulk uploads. Finally, always consult the error documentation in rules/errors.md if a post fails to publish, as specific error codes provide clear remediation steps for common API blockers.
