# lnk.bio Data API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/linkbio)

> The Linkbio API is a single page endpoint: GET /v1/linkbio/page accepts an lnk.bio URL and returns the whole page — display name, bio, avatar, and every link with its title and destination — as structured JSON for 1 credit. The response uses the same x-api-key and unified schema as SocialCrawl's other 43 platforms, so it parses exactly like Linktree or Komi data.

TL;DR: SocialCrawl's lnk.bio API exposes 1 endpoints, 1 credit per call, all returning one unified JSON schema with AI-enriched fields. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Endpoints

| Endpoint | Method | Path | Credits | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Page | GET | `/v1/linkbio/page` | 1 | Get Linkbio page |

## Code example

```bash
curl "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/linkbio/page?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnk.bio%2Fexample" \
  -H "x-api-key: sc_YOUR_API_KEY"
```

Every response shares one JSON envelope: `{ success, platform, endpoint, data, credits_used, credits_remaining }`.

## SocialCrawl vs DIY scraping

| Feature | SocialCrawl | DIY scraping |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Setup | One GET request with your API key — first page data in minutes | Headless browser, proxy pool, and HTML parser to build and host |
| Authentication | Single x-api-key header, the same key across all 44 platforms | None to manage, but IP blocks and bot detection are your problem |
| Response schema | Unified JSON shared with 43 other platforms — links, bio, avatar in stable fields | Raw HTML that changes whenever Linkbio ships a redesign |
| Pricing | 1 credit per page; 100 free credits on signup, no credit card | Proxy and server costs plus engineering hours, hard to predict |
| Maintenance | Upstream layout changes are absorbed behind the stable schema | Your parser breaks silently on every UI update |

## FAQ

### How do I scrape Linkbio pages with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/linkbio/page with the full lnk.bio URL in the url parameter. SocialCrawl returns structured JSON with the creator's display name, bio, avatar, and every link on the page with its title and destination URL.

### What data does the Linkbio API return?

The endpoint returns the creator's display name, bio text, avatar image URL, and the full list of links on the page. Each link includes its title, destination URL, and any metadata Linkbio exposes (video embeds, music previews, shop cards, social icons).

### How much does the Linkbio API cost?

Each Linkbio page request costs 1 credit on the standard tier. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card required, so you can scrape around 100 lnk.bio pages before paying anything.

### Is scraping Linkbio pages legal?

SocialCrawl reads only publicly visible lnk.bio pages — the same content anyone sees when they open the URL in a browser. Make sure your use case complies with Linkbio's terms of service and applicable data protection regulations. SocialCrawl operates under a documented GDPR legitimate-interest framework: public, logged-out data only, no credential use, short-lived caches (2 to 30 minutes) with no persistent store, and a public opt-out channel for anyone whose public info appears in responses. Full details: socialcrawl.dev/legal/public-data-notice.

### Can I use the Linkbio API in production?

Yes. The endpoint is built for production workloads with consistent response times, upstream retry handling, and a unified schema that stays stable when Linkbio ships UI or layout changes.

### What is the best Linkbio scraper API?

SocialCrawl is a strong pick when you want structured JSON without maintaining a scraper: GET /v1/linkbio/page returns the display name, bio, avatar, and every link on an lnk.bio page for 1 credit per request, on the same key and unified schema as 43 other platforms. New accounts get 100 free credits, no credit card.

### How do I get Linkbio data via API?

Use SocialCrawl: there is no official public Linkbio data API for reading arbitrary pages, so a single GET /v1/linkbio/page call is the cleanest way to read an lnk.bio page. It returns the display name, bio, avatar, and every link with its title and destination URL as JSON for 1 credit, in the same schema SocialCrawl uses for Linktree, Komi, and its other 43 platforms.
