Platform terms

Bongsu posts to your accounts, so it has to behave the way Instagram and YouTube allow. This page says how it does, and what stays with you.

Official APIs only

  • Instagram: Bongsu uses the Instagram API with Instagram Login, with content publishing. This is the default: the tokens stay in your instance and every call goes from it to Instagram. You can instead reach Instagram through Composio, the one optional third party and your choice. Then the Instagram connection and its tokens live in your Composio account, and the publishing calls go through Composio's service.
  • YouTube: Bongsu uses the YouTube Data API, to comment on your Shorts and reply to comments. It doesn't upload videos. It also reads a video's privacy and release date and can move the release date (a workspace's admins, editors and creators in the app, with their passkey, or an agent key only with the reschedule scope); that costs 51 quota units.
  • Your own apps and tokens: you register the Meta and Google apps and generate the tokens yourself (Instagram, YouTube). Nothing goes through a shared account. With the direct Instagram route, the tokens stay in your own instance.

Rate limits

  • Instagram allows 100 published posts per account per 24 hours through the API; Stories and carousels count as one each. Bongsu stays well under it for normal planning.
  • YouTube gives a Google project 10,000 quota units a day. A comment or a reply costs 50, reading a video's comments 1, checking up to 50 videos' privacy 1 and moving a release date 51. See YouTube.
  • Bongsu's own caps are lower: each run advances at most JOBS_PER_TICK jobs (4 on Cloudflare, 20 on Node) and posts at most two Shorts comments. The configuration page explains them and what you can tune.

No scraping

Bongsu never automates a browser, calls unofficial endpoints or collects data about other people's accounts. It reads only what the official APIs return for your own accounts: comments on your own posts, and your own results.

Your responsibility

You decide what is posted, and you approve each item. You are responsible for the content and for following each platform's terms:

The platforms can change their terms and limits. Their pages are the ones that count.
