Unipile Social Media API review
A focused social API for LinkedIn and Instagram messaging, publishing, and engagement workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Unipile Social Media API gives software publishers a unified developer API for connecting and managing accounts across LinkedIn, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Telegram. It is aimed at CRM, ATS, outreach, marketing, and AI-agent products that need profile, publishing, engagement, account-management, and messaging capabilities through one REST API. Supported workflows include retrieving profiles, posts, comments, reactions, and follower data, as well as connecting provider accounts through hosted or custom authentication.
Pricing starts at $55 per month for up to 10 linked accounts, with full API access, unlimited API calls and requests, and no per-message, per-call, or per-channel fee. The next tier costs $5.50 per account per month for 11 to 50 linked accounts, followed by $5 for 51 to 200, $4.50 for 201 to 1,000, $4 for 1,001 to 5,000, and $3.50 for 5,001 or more. All listed tiers include the same core access terms. A 7-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan.
Its strongest fit is for products centered on LinkedIn and Instagram, particularly those requiring messaging, publishing with attachments and visibility controls, reposting, comments controls, or engagement data. Real-time webhooks cover account status, messages, reactions, and relationships, while dynamic throttling and configurable action limits support controlled activity. The five-network scope keeps the product focused, but teams needing additional networks should consider a broader alternative. Choose Unipile when unified LinkedIn and Instagram workflows matter; look elsewhere when wider network coverage is the priority.
