Social Fetch API (Social Media Scraper)

Social Fetch API is a production-ready social media scraper that eliminates the endless engineering cycle of building and maintaining in-house scrapers. Instead of wrestling with proxies, rate limits, and ever-changing platform layouts, you get a single REST API to pull live public data from 17 major platforms including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Reddit, Threads, Bluesky, GitHub, Spotify, Snapchat, Twitch, Kick, and Linktree. Every request returns live data, not cached snapshots from yesterday. Responses arrive in seconds, backed by 99.8% measured API uptime and over 3.6 million lookups processed in the last 30 days alone. The platform is built for developers and teams running creator discovery, influencer analytics, ad intelligence, scam detection, content moderation, and research pipelines. You get consistent structured metadata across every endpoint, a unique requestId for support tracing, and transparent pricing starting at just $1.65 per 1,000 requests. Credits never expire, there are no monthly commitments, and there are zero per-minute rate limits on your scraping volume. Sign up in 30 seconds with Google, GitHub, or Discord, get 100 free credits with no credit card required, and start shipping features instead of glue code.

Live Data on Every Request

Every call to the Social Fetch API returns live public data reflecting what is happening right now, not a cached snapshot from hours or days ago. Profiles, posts, likes, comments, followers, and search results are fetched in real time with typical response times of just a few seconds. This ensures your analytics, moderation signals, and research pipelines always operate on the freshest data available, giving you a competitive edge in fast-moving social media environments.

Single API Key for 17 Platforms

One API key unlocks access to data from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Reddit, Threads, Bluesky, GitHub, Spotify, Snapchat, Twitch, Kick, and Linktree. You get a unified response shape across all platforms, meaning your integration code is clean, consistent, and easy to maintain. No more juggling multiple vendors, authentication schemes, or data formats for different social networks.

No Rate Limits on Volume

Social Fetch imposes zero per-minute rate limits on your scraping volume. You can burst as high as your use case demands without negotiating throttles or waiting for rate limit windows to reset. This is critical for teams running large-scale monitoring, batch lookups, or real-time enrichment pipelines where consistent throughput is non-negotiable. Your only constraint is your credit balance.

Transparent Pay-As-You-Go Pricing

Pricing starts at $1.65 per 1,000 requests with credits that never expire. There are no monthly commitments, no surprise overage fees, and no hidden costs. You buy credit packs when you need them, and you only pay for successful lookups. Social Fetch never charges you for infrastructure failures, so you can trust your budget and your data pipeline simultaneously.

Creator Discovery and Vetting

Agencies and brands can search for influencers across multiple platforms using a single API call. Pull profile metrics, follower counts, engagement data, and verification status instantly to build shortlists of potential partners. The live data ensures you are evaluating current audience sizes and activity levels, not outdated numbers. This speeds up the discovery process from days to minutes and gives you confidence in your partnership decisions.

Ad Intelligence and Competitive Analysis

Marketing teams can scrape competitor profiles, posts, and engagement metrics to understand what content strategies are working across the social landscape. Track ad campaigns, monitor brand mentions, and analyze comment sentiment in real time. The structured metadata makes it easy to feed this data into dashboards, reporting tools, or machine learning models for deeper insights into market positioning and audience response.

Scam and Impersonation Detection

Security teams can programmatically verify profile authenticity by cross-referencing follower counts, verification badges, handle consistency, and bio details across platforms. Flag suspicious accounts that impersonate brands or public figures by comparing live data against known legitimate profiles. The API enables automated monitoring at scale, catching impersonators before they damage brand reputation or defraud customers.

Content Moderation and Research Pipelines

Platforms and researchers can pull video transcripts, comment threads, and post metadata to build content moderation signals or conduct large-scale social media analysis. The consistent response format simplifies ingestion into moderation workflows, sentiment analysis models, or academic research datasets. With support for video transcripts from multiple platforms, you can analyze spoken content alongside text for a complete picture of public discourse.
