The developer-first alternative to Loomly

What Loomly's dashboard doesn't give developers

Aether vs Loomly — feature comparison

Note: Loomly supports Pinterest, X/Twitter, and Snapchat — platforms Aether doesn't currently cover.

Schedule a post with an actual API

This is what Loomly can't give you — a clean API call that schedules to multiple platforms at once, with per-platform overrides when you need different copy:

import Aether from "aether";

// Loomly doesn't have a developer API.
// Aether gives you a full REST API, free to start.

const aether = new Aether({ apiKey: process.env.AETHER_API_KEY });

// Schedule a post to 5 platforms at once
const post = await aether.posts.create({
  text: "New feature is live — check it out 🎉",
  profileIds: [
    "ig_abc123",   // Instagram
    "li_comp789",  // LinkedIn
    "fb_page456",  // Facebook
    "tt_xyz789",   // TikTok
    "th_user456",  // Threads
  ],
  scheduledFor: "2026-07-01T10:00:00Z",
  // Per-platform overrides for tailored captions
  overrides: {
    "ig_abc123": { text: "New feature live 🎉 #productupdate #saas" },
    "tt_xyz789": { text: "POV: your product just shipped a big update 🔥" },
  },
});

console.log(post.data.status); // "scheduled"

import os
from aether import Aether

client = Aether(api_key=os.environ["AETHER_API_KEY"])

post = client.posts.create(
    text="New feature is live — check it out",
    profile_ids=["ig_abc123", "li_comp789", "fb_page456"],
    scheduled_for="2026-07-01T10:00:00Z",
)
print(post.data.status)  # "scheduled"

curl -X POST https://api.aetherhq.dev/v1/posts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AETHER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "text": "New feature is live",
    "profileIds": ["ig_abc123", "li_comp789"],
    "scheduledFor": "2026-07-01T10:00:00Z"
  }'

The MCP server Loomly doesn't have

Loomly has no public API at all, let alone an MCP server. Aether ships a native MCP server — every endpoint, including posting, analytics, and inbox, becomes a callable tool for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible agent.

# Add to ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aether": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "aether-mcp"],
      "env": { "AETHER_API_KEY": "sk_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

# Loomly has no API and no MCP server. With Aether, Claude can:
# "Draft and schedule next week's content calendar"
# "Post this update across Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook"
# "Summarize this month's engagement metrics"

Switching from Loomly to Aether

Since Loomly has no API, this isn't a migration so much as adding a programmatic layer for the first time.

1. 1

   Sign up and get your API key

   Create an Aether account — no credit card, no plan purchase. Your API key is available in the dashboard immediately.

2. 2

   Connect your social profiles

   Generate Connect Links for each platform. Your users (or you) click the link, authenticate on the platform's native screen, and the profile appears in your Aether account automatically.

3. 3

   Install the SDK

   npm install aether (Node.js) or pip install aether (Python). Or call the REST API directly — the OpenAPI spec is publicly available.

4. 4

   Make your first post

   Call aether.posts.create() with your text, profileIds, and optional scheduledFor. Aether handles rate limits, token refresh, and retry logic — you handle the product.
