Free Platform API — JSON & XML Feed of 207 Posting Sites

Endpoints

Both return the complete directory. Pick whichever format your system prefers.

JSON https://freepostfinder.com/api/platforms.json Open →

XML https://freepostfinder.com/api/platforms.xml Open →

/api/platforms also works and defaults to JSON (add ?format=xml to switch).

Quick start

# Every platform name + URL, as JSON
curl -s https://freepostfinder.com/api/platforms.json

# Same data as XML
curl -s https://freepostfinder.com/api/platforms.xml

# Just the names and URLs, using jq
curl -s https://freepostfinder.com/api/platforms.json \
  | jq -r '.platforms[] | "\(.name)\t\(.url)"'

Usage notes

✓

No key, no signup

The endpoint is open. There is no authentication and no hard rate limit.

✓

Cache your results

Responses carry Cache-Control: public, max-age=3600 and an ETag. Send If-None-Match to get a cheap 304 when nothing changed. Fetching once an hour is plenty — the data changes slowly.

✓

Cross-origin friendly

CORS is open (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *), so browser-side JavaScript can call it directly.

✓

Stable identifiers

Use slug as the key for a platform. Names and URLs can change; slugs are stable.

✓

Attribution

Free to use commercially or non-commercially. A link back to freepostfinder.com is appreciated but not required.

✓

Verify before you rely on it

Platforms marked needs_review have not been fully checked. Always confirm a platform’s own terms before posting.

Errors

Invalid parameters return HTTP 400 with a machine-readable body in the format you requested.

{
  "error": {
    "code": "invalid_filter",
    "message": "risk_level must be one of: low, medium, high, unknown.",
    "docs": "https://freepostfinder.com/api"
  }
