Platform Posting Limits

Certain platforms have stricter limits due to increased risk of spammers posting low-quality content.

Tiktok Posting Restrictions

  • Your Tiktok account must be warmed up, following this guide: https://help.blotato.com/platforms/tiktok/brand-new-accountsarrow-up-right

  • On the Starter plan, you are limited to posting to 3 unique Tiktok accounts per 24 hour window, 10 posts per account. You may still connect more than 3 Tiktok accounts, but you can only post to 3 unique accounts in a 24-hour period. This is where the "900 TikTok uploads/month" on the pricing page comes from: 3 accounts x 10 posts/day x 30 days = 900/month. There is no monthly counter — the limit is enforced per day. This limit currently does NOT apply to the Creator plan or Agency plan.

Instagram Posting Restrictions

  • Each Instagram account is limited to 50 posts per day, per 24 hour window.

Pinterest Posting Restrictions

  • If your Pinterest is new, you must warm it up for 2-3 weeks manually before connecting to 3rd party tools like Blotato. Start posting 1 pin per day manually, then gradually ramp up to 2, then 3 pins per day. This is required because your Pinterest account will be shadowbanned if you start using automation too soon. You need to first prove to Pinterest that you're not a spam bot. Once warmed up, contact Sabrina via in-app chat in the bottom right corner with your Pinterest account to get validated.

  • All plans are limited to 10 pins/day per Pinterest account. So if you have 5 Pinterest accounts, then you can post 50 pins/day total. If your Pinterest account is well-established and you want to request a higher limit, contact Sabrina via in-app chat in the bottom right corner with your Pinterest account.

Facebook Posting Restrictions

  • Facebook recommends up to 5 posts per day. The upper limit is 35 posts per day, but posting above 5 per day negatively impacts the reach of your posts.

Youtube Posting Restrictions

  • Youtube enforces a limit of 10 video uploads per channel per 24 hours via API. If you exceed this, you'll see: "You have reached the maximum number of 10 posts for the last 24 hours for this account." This limit is enforced by Youtube, not Blotato.

  • New channels have lower quotas and may hit limits sooner.

  • You can still upload videos directly via the Youtube website when the API limit is reached.

Connect accounts

To publish posts, you must connect your social media accounts.

Go to https://my.blotato.com/settingsarrow-up-right to integrate each platform.

💡 IMPORTANT

  • Log into the correct social account BEFORE connecting

  • For Facebook, select each Page individually, don’t select "connect all pages"

Security

Blotato uses oauth2 for all platforms except Twitter which uses oauth1 for media uploads. All access tokens are securely stored in a secure database. Blotato only stores what you post through the Blotato app. API use is exclusively for posting new posts, not reading your social media data.
