Error Handling

The server provides detailed error messages for common issues:

• Authentication Errors: Invalid API key or missing credentials
• Validation Errors: Invalid platforms, malformed dates, missing required fields
• API Errors: Rate limits, platform-specific errors, network issues

All tools return a status field ("success" or "error") and a message field for errors.

Security Best Practices

• Never commit .env files: API keys should only be in .env (gitignored)
• Use environment variables: Always load credentials from environment
• Rotate API keys regularly: Generate new keys periodically
• Monitor usage: Check Ayrshare dashboard for unusual activity
• Use profile keys: For multi-tenant scenarios, use separate profile keys

Troubleshooting

"Invalid API key" Error

• Verify API key in Ayrshare dashboard
• Check that key is correctly set in .env file
• Ensure .env file is in the project root directory

"Platform not connected" Error

• Go to Ayrshare dashboard
• Connect the social media account
• Verify connection status shows "Active"

Scheduled Posts Not Publishing

• Check scheduled date is in the future
• Verify timezone (use UTC or include timezone offset)
• Confirm platform supports scheduling

Media Upload Failures

• Ensure URLs are publicly accessible
• Check file size limits (varies by platform)
• Verify media format is supported by target platform

API Rate Limits

Ayrshare enforces rate limits based on your plan:

• Free Tier: 5 posts per month
• Starter Plan: 50 posts per month
• Professional Plan: 500 posts per month
• Business Plan: Custom limits

Monitor your usage in the Ayrshare dashboard.
