Utility Browse Capabilities API
Scrape Utility Browse Capabilities data with one API call. Every cross-cutting parameter, once: the label presets for comments, posts and reviews (which are free by default and which are metered), relevance, judgments, include, since and stop_at_id, recent_days, the row filters, seen, trim, download_media, market and fit. Each entry says what the parameter does, what it costs, and lists every endpoint that supports it, so a search for a capability (sentiment, buyers, recent posts only) lands on the lanes that have it. Generated from the endpoint registry at request time. Free to call.
Last updated September 2026Maintained by the SocialCrawl team
Returns every parameter that works across endpoints (label presets, relevance, include, since, trim and more) with what it does, what it costs, and every endpoint that supports it.
Use it when you know what you need done (judge sentiment, keep only relevant rows, poll only new posts) but not which endpoints can do it. Free to call.
