Quickstart Guide

Get up and running with the Multi Upload Tool API in minutes. This guide walks you through account setup to your first upload.

Prerequisites

A Multi Upload Tool account
At least one connected social media account (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, etc.)
An API key from your dashboard

Create Your Account

Visit app.multi-upload-tool.com and sign up for a new account.

Navigate to the Accounts section in the dashboard.
Click on Connect Account for your desired platform (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest, Bluesky).
Follow the OAuth authentication flow for the selected platform.
Grant the necessary permissions for content upload.
Note the accountId of your connected account (visible in the dashboard or via the /api/v1/accounts endpoint).

Generate Your API Key

Go to the API Keys section in your dashboard.
Click Generate New API Key.
Copy and save your API key securely.

Store your API key in a safe place. You won’t be able to see it again after creation. If lost, you’ll need to generate a new one.
