# Hootsuite SDK Patterns
## Overview
Production patterns for Hootsuite REST API: typed client, token management, scheduling helpers, and Python integration.
## Instructions
### Step 1: Typed API Client
```typescript
// src/hootsuite/types.ts
interface SocialProfile {
id: string;
type: 'TWITTER' | 'FACEBOOK' | 'INSTAGRAM' | 'LINKEDIN' | 'PINTEREST' | 'YOUTUBE' | 'TIKTOK';
socialNetworkUsername: string;
socialNetworkId: string;
}
interface ScheduledMessage {
id: string;
text: string;
state: 'SCHEDULED' | 'SENT' | 'FAILED' | 'REJECTED';
socialProfileIds: string[];
scheduledSendTime: string;
sentAt?: string;
mediaUrls?: Array<{ id: string }>;
}
interface HootsuiteResponse<T> {
data: T;
}
```
### Step 2: Scheduling Helper with Timezone
```typescript
function scheduleForTimezone(
hour: number,
minute: number,
timezone: string,
daysFromNow = 0
): Date {
const date = new Date();
date.setDate(date.getDate() + daysFromNow);
const dateStr = date.toISOString().split('T')[0];
const timeStr = `${hour.toString().padStart(2, '0')}:${minute.toString().padStart(2, '0')}:00`;
return new Date(`${dateStr}T${timeStr}`);
}
// Schedule posts at optimal times per platform
const OPTIMAL_TIMES = {
TWITTER: { hour: 9, minute: 0 },
INSTAGRAM: { hour: 11, minute: 0 },
LINKEDIN: { hour: 7, minute: 30 },
FACEBOOK: { hour: 13, minute: 0 },
};
```
### Step 3: Python Client
```python
# hootsuite/client.py
import os, requests, time
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
class HootsuiteClient:
BASE = 'https://platform.hootsuite.com/v1'
def __init__(self):
self.token = os.environ['HOOTSUITE_ACCESS_TOKEN']
self.headers = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {self.token}', 'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
def get_profiles(self):
r = requests.get(f'{self.BASE}/socialProfiles', headers=self.headers)
r.raise_for_status()
return r.json()['data']
def schedule_message(self, profile_ids, text, scheduled_time):
r = requests.post(f'{self.BASE}/messages', headers=self.headers, json={
'text': text,
'socialProfileIds': profile_ids,
'scheduledSendTime': scheduled_time.isoformat(),
})
r.raise_for_status()
return r.json()['data']
```
### Step 4: Cross-Platform Post Formatter
```typescript
function formatPost(text: string, platform: string): string {
const limits: Record<string, number> = {
TWITTER: 280, FACEBOOK: 63206, INSTAGRAM: 2200, LINKEDIN: 3000, TIKTOK: 2200,
};
const limit = limits[platform] || 2200;
return text.length > limit ? text.substring(0, limit - 3) + '...' : text;
}
```
## Output
- Typed API client with token refresh
- Timezone-aware scheduling helpers
- Python client class
- Cross-platform post formatting
