Next week marks 14 years for me at Buffer, and today we’re launching something I’m genuinely excited about: our new public API 🚀 When I first started working on the Buffer iPhone app back in 2011, the API was being built alongside the iPhone and Android apps. #BufferAPI

It became a huge part of the ecosystem. People built integrations, automations, dashboards, experiments, and all kinds of tools. Over time, the API became partner-only, and honestly, we didn’t give it the love it deserved. Docs drifted, things aged, priorities shifted.

So seeing Buffer reopen things feels very full circle. The new API is GraphQL-based, has far better docs, and over time, the goal is to expose much (if not all) of Buffer through it, with new features increasingly being API-first. What excites me most is the timing.

Excited to see what everyone builds with it 🚀 buffer.com/api
