Introduction
SocialCrawl API — unified social media data for developers and AI agents
SocialCrawl API
One API key, one consistent response format, 21 platforms, 108 endpoints.
SocialCrawl is a unified social media data API that normalises data from 21 platforms into a single, consistent schema. Write one integration, query every platform — with computed fields like engagement_rate and estimated_reach pre-calculated on every response.
SocialCrawl covers platforms reaching over 10 billion combined monthly active users — including TikTok (1.5B+ MAU), Instagram (2B+ MAU), YouTube (2.7B+ MAU), and Facebook (3B+ MAU).
What can SocialCrawl do?
- Unified Schema — Every platform returns the same envelope, so you write one parser
- 108 Endpoints — Profiles, posts, comments, search, transcripts, ad libraries, and more
- Computed Fields —
engagement_rate,language,content_category, andestimated_reachon every response with a field map - Simple Auth — One API key in the
x-api-keyheader - Credit-Based Billing — Pay only for what you use. No time-based rate limits. Cache hits are free.
- Safe Retries — Send an
Idempotency-Keyheader and we guarantee a single charge per key for 24 hours - Account Metadata — Check your balance programmatically via
GET /v1/credits/balance(0 credits)

Why use a unified API?
Instead of building and maintaining 21 separate platform integrations — each with its own authentication, rate limits, response format, and error codes — SocialCrawl gives you one consistent interface. Every response follows the same envelope, errors carry a doc_url you can link users to, and computed fields arrive pre-calculated so your application logic stays simple.
