Have a question? We got answers
Find answers to frequently asked questions about SocialCrawl's API, pricing, and capabilities.
Contact usWhich platforms can I check in one call?
The example checks TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and X by listing them in platforms. Add or remove names in that comma separated list to widen or narrow the lookup for your own handle.
What happens when the handle does not exist somewhere?
That platform's card comes back as null instead of failing the request, and the found_on list shows where the handle was found. You can tell a missing account from an error without extra handling.
What fields does each card hold?
Each card has the username, display name, avatar, bio, verified flag, followers, following, post count and profile url. The totals block adds platforms_found and the combined follower count across them.
Does it prove the accounts belong to the same person?
Not by default, because it looks up the same handle on each platform. Send verify=true for a same, possible or different verdict per platform, with the evidence, at the same price. Check the bio and the profile link before you treat them as one creator.
Is there a version with scoring?
The registry notes that handle-audit adds scoring and collection estimates, while creator-card just returns the profiles. Use creator-card when you only need to know where a handle lives and how big each account is.
How much does one run cost?
One run of the example above costs 5 credits across one API call. Every new account gets 100 free credits, credits for failed or empty calls are refunded automatically, and there is no subscription.
