# Linkme Data API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/linkme)

> The Linkme API ships one focused endpoint: GET /v1/linkme/page takes a link.me URL and returns the creator's display name, bio, avatar, and every link with its title and destination as structured JSON for 1 credit. It shares its x-api-key and unified schema with SocialCrawl's other 43 platforms, so Linkme and Linktree pages parse with the same code.

TL;DR: SocialCrawl's Linkme 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/linkme/page` | 1 | Get Linkme profile |

## Code example

```bash
curl "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/linkme/page?url=https%3A%2F%2Flink.me%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 Linkme 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 Linkme pages with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/linkme/page with the full link.me 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 Linkme 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 Linkme exposes (social icons, embeds, contact shortcuts).

### How much does the Linkme API cost?

Each Linkme 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 Linkme pages before paying anything.

### Linkme vs Linktree — which API should I use?

SocialCrawl ships both. The /v1/linkme/page and /v1/linktree/page endpoints return the same unified schema, so you can pull creator data from either platform without changing parsing logic — useful when creators link out from multiple bio tools.

### Is scraping Linkme pages legal?

SocialCrawl reads only publicly visible Linkme pages — the same content anyone sees when they open the link.me URL in a browser. Make sure your use case complies with Linkme'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 Linkme 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 Linkme ships UI or layout changes.

### What is the best Linkme scraper API?

SocialCrawl is a strong pick when you want structured JSON without maintaining a scraper: GET /v1/linkme/page returns the display name, bio, avatar, and every link on a link.me 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.

### What is the best Linkme data API?

SocialCrawl is the most direct Linkme data API, since Linkme ships no official public API for reading arbitrary pages. GET /v1/linkme/page turns a link.me URL into JSON with the creator's display name, bio, avatar, and every link and destination for 1 credit. Because /v1/linkme/page and /v1/linktree/page share one schema across SocialCrawl's 43 other platforms, you can pull creators from either bio tool with the same parsing code.
