## SocialCrawl vs DIY scraping

| Feature | SocialCrawl | DIY scraping |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Setup | Sign up and send one GET request | Build proxies, headless browsers, and HTML parsers first |
| Authentication | One x-api-key header | None — but you handle blocks and bot detection yourself |
| Response schema | Unified JSON shared across 44 platforms | Raw HTML you parse and normalize yourself |
| Pricing | 1 credit per request (10 for transcripts); 100 free credits | Proxy and server costs plus ongoing engineering hours |
| Data coverage | Search, channel uploads, video details, transcripts, comments | Whatever your parser extracts — transcripts are especially fiddly |
| Maintenance | SocialCrawl absorbs Rumble markup changes upstream | Your scraper breaks whenever Rumble changes its pages |
