Buffer Sample Apps

A collection of sample applications that show how to build on the Buffer API. Each sample is a small, self-contained project you can clone, run, and use as a starting point for your own build.

Note: These samples are meant for learning and prototyping. Make sure to review and adapt them to your own security, error-handling, and scaling needs before using them in production.

• A Buffer account
• API access credentials - see the Buffer developer docs for how to get them
• Any language-specific tooling listed in the sample's own README

Each sample app lives in its own folder with everything it needs to run:

.
├── sample-app-name/
│   ├── README.md        # Setup and usage instructions for this sample
│   ├── .env.example     # Environment variables the sample needs
│   └── ...              # Source code
├── another-sample/
│   └── ...
├── LICENSE
└── README.md

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/bufferapp/buffer-sample-apps.git
   cd buffer-sample-apps

2. Move into the sample you want to try:

   cd sample-app-name

3. Follow the setup instructions in that sample's README.md. Never commit your API credentials. Each sample reads them from environment variables - copy .env.example to .env and fill in your own values.

These sample apps are provided as-is for educational purposes. They're maintained on a best-effort basis and aren't covered by Buffer's product support or service-level agreements.

We welcome issues and suggestions for improvements. If you spot a bug or have an idea for a new sample, please open an issue. At the moment we don't accept direct contributions of new samples.
