# SocialCrawl — Social Media Scraper API

> Scrape social media data from 21 platforms through one unified API. SocialCrawl is a social media data API that returns a single, consistent JSON schema across every platform — no platform-specific parsing required.

## What Is SocialCrawl?

SocialCrawl is a unified social media scraper API for developers and AI agents. It provides real-time access to profiles, posts, comments, hashtags, search results, and analytics across 21 social media platforms and 108 endpoints — all through a single API key and a single response format.

Unlike raw platform APIs or other scraping services that return different JSON structures per platform, SocialCrawl normalizes every response into a unified schema. Write one integration, query every platform.

## Key Capabilities

- **Unified response schema**: Every endpoint returns the same consistent JSON structure regardless of platform. No platform-specific parsing logic needed.
- **AI-enriched computed fields**: Every response includes computed metadata — `engagement_rate`, `estimated_reach`, `content_category`, and `language` — ready for AI reasoning and analysis.
- **Visual Data Explorer**: Paste any social media URL into the Explorer at socialcrawl.dev and get structured results, sortable tables, and JSON/CSV export — see your data before writing a single line of code.
- **Built for AI agents**: Ships with MCP server configuration, Claude Code skill, and agent onboarding — designed for autonomous AI workflows from the ground up.
