We are building the API that replaces every social scraper
SocialCrawl turns 42+ social platforms into one API key, one schema, and one bill. We handle the scraping, proxies, and normalization, so you can ship.

Why we built SocialCrawl
Social data is public, but consuming it across platforms is a nightmare. Every platform returns a different shape, a different pagination model, and a different rate limit. A real product ends up wiring 6 to 12 separate scrapers, each one breaking on its own schedule.
We watched teams spend weeks maintaining fragile pipelines that broke every time a platform changed its markup. We watched companies pay three or four vendors just to cover the basics. We watched good product ideas die because the data layer was too expensive or too flaky to justify. The problem was never the data. It was the infrastructure around it.

What we are building
We did not want to build another scraper. We wanted to build the one API that replaces all of them.
One API key. One response envelope. Hundreds of endpoints across dozens of platforms, from TikTok videos and Instagram profiles to Reddit threads and LinkedIn companies, all behind the same auth, the same errors, the same predictable shape. When a platform changes, we fix it. You never notice. On top of the raw data we compute the fields you actually want: engagement rate, language, content category, estimated reach.

-H "x-api-key: sc_live_..."And one endpoint does something no other API can. GET /v1/search/everywhere fans a single query across every major platform at once, then plans, fuses, and reranks the results with LLMs. One call replaces a dozen.
What we believe
Pricing should be transparent
Credits, never a black box. You see the exact cost of every endpoint before you call it. Cache hits and idempotent replays cost zero. No sales gate, no surprise invoice.
Docs should be complete
Every endpoint ships with a real response example, clear parameters, and an honest credit cost. If something is unclear, that is our bug to fix.
Reliability beats feature count
We would rather ship fewer endpoints that work perfectly than hundreds that fail intermittently. Every endpoint is monitored and maintained. When something breaks, we fix it the same day.
Built for people who ship
We build for developers and AI agents, not procurement teams comparing spreadsheets. Self-serve key in seconds, 100 free credits, first call in an hour.
By the numbers
The surface we maintain so you do not have to.
Where we are going
SocialCrawl is built for the long term. We are not optimizing for a quick exit. We are building a business that grows because the product is genuinely useful and fairly priced.
Every week we add platforms, cut response times, and widen coverage. Auto-generated SDKs, result webhooks, team accounts, and deeper monitoring are on the way. The goal is simple. If your product needs social data, SocialCrawl should be the obvious choice, not because of a sales pitch, but because the API speaks for itself.
Who is behind SocialCrawl
SocialCrawl is built by Ridio, a small, profitable team that answers support emails in hours and ships fixes the same day.
