Security Policy

Supported versions

We patch security issues on the latest minor release line only.

Version Supported
0.1.x
< 0.1

If you're on an older version, update to the latest socialapis-sdk and re-test before reporting — the issue may already be fixed.

Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities. Public issues are indexed instantly and attackers watch for them.

Instead, email support@socialapis.io with:

  • A description of the issue
  • Steps to reproduce (or a minimal proof of concept)
  • The version(s) affected
  • Your assessment of the impact (which endpoints / users are at risk)

If the issue affects the hosted API at api.socialapis.io (rather than this Python SDK specifically), the same address routes correctly — we'll triage it on our backend.

What we promise

  • Acknowledgement within 72 hours that we've received the report
  • Initial assessment within 7 days — whether we've reproduced it and what severity we're treating it as
  • A patched release as soon as a fix is ready, typically within a week for critical issues
  • Credit in the CHANGELOG if you'd like (let us know)

Out of scope

These aren't security issues for this SDK:

  • API rate limits / quota enforcement — those are billing / API behaviour
  • Wrong / outdated data returned by the API — that's a backend issue
  • Username enumeration via public endpoints — Instagram / Facebook already expose that publicly; the SDK just reflects it
  • Anything requiring physical access to a machine running the SDK

There aren't any published security advisories
