Video Archiving
Social platforms are not archives. Accounts get locked, posts get removed, and APIs change. Archiving keeps your own copy of what you published — the video or image, the caption, and the engagement numbers — in storage you control.
What gets archived
For each post we capture the media file itself, the caption or description, the permalink, when it was published, and the engagement counts at the time we collected it. Posts published before you connected the account are picked up too, as far back as the platform's API will go.
This is not limited to posts you scheduled with us. Anything on the connected account is fair game.
Which platforms are covered
| Platform | Archiving |
|---|---|
| TikTok | ✅ Published posts are backed up automatically. |
| ✅ Published posts are backed up automatically. | |
| YouTube | ✅ Published posts are backed up automatically. |
| ✅ Published posts are backed up automatically. | |
| — LinkedIn publishes no API for reading this account type's own posts, so there is nothing for us to collect. | |
| ✅ Published posts are backed up automatically. | |
| X | 🕘 Coming soon — X's API supports it, we haven't built the collector yet. |
| Bluesky | ✅ Published posts are backed up automatically. |
| Google Business | — Google Business reports at the location level rather than per post, so there are no individual posts to archive. |
Coverage depends on what each platform's API exposes about your own published content.
How it works
- Turn archiving on for a connected account.
- We check the account periodically for content we haven't seen.
- New posts are downloaded and stored, with their metadata and engagement numbers.
- Browse or download anything from the Archive page, one post at a time or in bulk.
Archiving runs on its own. There's nothing to trigger and nothing to remember.
Limits worth knowing
- We can only archive what the platform's API will hand over for your own account. Where a platform limits how far back you can read, that's our ceiling too.
- Engagement numbers are collected on a schedule, not read live. We re-check your archived posts regularly and record the counts each time, so a post's likes and comments here reflect the last collection rather than this instant — expect them to trail what the platform shows, especially on a post published minutes ago.
- An account you disconnected, or one that needs reconnecting, stops archiving until you reconnect it. What's already stored stays.
- Deleting a post on the platform doesn't delete your archived copy — which is rather the point.
How long we keep it
Indefinitely. There is no retention window and no storage quota — an archived post stays until you ask us to delete it. That's the whole promise: a copy that outlives the platform's, and your own account on it.
When you do ask us to delete your data, we delete it — the stored media along with everything else.
Getting your archive back out
In the app, browse the Archive page and download anything, one post at a time or in bulk.
Your archive is also available over the API, so you can pull it into your own systems — a backup of your backup, a content library, or an internal dashboard. Authenticate with an API key and you can list archived posts (filtered by account, paginated) or fetch a single one. Each response carries the post's caption, permalink, publish time, duration, and the engagement counts from the last collection, plus download links for the media itself.
Those media links are signed and expire after 24 hours, so fetch a fresh one when you need it rather than storing the link. The full endpoint reference lives with our API documentation.
Metrics come from the same collection
The engagement numbers on your dashboard are gathered by the same process that archives your content. A platform whose archiving isn't live yet also has no per-post metrics — each platform page states exactly which numbers are available for it.
