NextScripts Autoposting API for Google+ allows you to post simple text messages, share links, and post pictures to Google+ Profiles, Pages, Collections, and Communities.

Get it

You have a site or blog and you are already posting your updates to Facebook, Twitter and some other networks, but what about Google Plus?

Users of the newest Social Network aiming to be on the top are still lacking information about your updates. Google Plus API is still read only, so there were no way to sync your updates around all networks including Google Plus. Now it is. Google Plus Automated Posting script from “NextScripts” is capable of automatically submitting posts from your site directly to your Google Plus account. NextScripts Google+ API can post to Google+ Profiles, Google+ Business Pages, Google+ Collections, and Google+ Communities

NextScripts Google+ API allows you to post simple text messages, share links with preview text and picture as well as make “Image posts”.

Google+ Automated Posting Demo

Please enter some text, select image or link to share and click “Post” button.

Post with image Share link – some random URL will be attached to the post

Post it to our Demo Google Plus Account

Please note: Google uses geolocation, so if you are close to the server you will see new post immediately, otherwise post needs to be pushed to Google+ servers near you. Sometimes it takes 2-5 minutes for the post to appear on the Google+ page. If you don’t see the post on our Google+ page immediately, please check it in 2-5 minutes, it will be there.

We need to keep our demo account clean, so any external URLs you type in the field will be removed, Of course, the real API will post everything as is.
