YouTube Scheduling API

Build scheduled YouTube publishing into your product, agency workflow, automation, or AI system without maintaining your own publishing queue.

  • 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
No credit card required.

Everything You Need to Schedule YouTube Uploads

Plan your YouTube publishing calendar without maintaining your own scheduling infrastructure. Set a future time and timezone, and PostPeer manages the scheduled publication.

Future-Dated Uploads

Send a scheduledFor timestamp with your video. For scheduled YouTube posts, the video is uploaded as private and switches to your requested visibility at publish time.

Timezone-Aware Delivery

Pass an IANA timezone like America/New_York alongside scheduledFor. PostPeer resolves the local scheduled time and returns the corresponding UTC publishing time.

Content Calendar via API

Queue weeks or months of videos in advance by creating each upload with its own scheduledFor value. List scheduled posts whenever you need to build a calendar view in your product.

Reschedule and Cancel

Change the publishing time of a queued upload with the scheduled-post reschedule endpoint, or cancel it before publication.

Shorts and Long-Form

The same scheduling flow works for standard YouTube videos and Shorts. Set supported metadata such as title, tags, visibility, category, and other YouTube-specific options before scheduling.

Cross-Platform Queuing

Schedule compatible video content for YouTube and other supported platforms in one request. Every target in the request shares the same scheduledFor and timezone.

Ship Youtube Scheduling in Any Stack

Whether your product is a Node app, a no-code workflow, or an AI agent, the same PostPeer API can power the publishing workflow.

Dev Stack

Typed SDKs and predictable REST APIs let you integrate PostPeer into the stack your application already uses.

No Code

Trigger publishing workflows from tools your team already uses.
