Utility Browse Endpoint Catalog API

Returns a catalogue of every endpoint you can call: path, method, platform, credit cost, required and optional parameters, and a link to its usage guide.

GET /v1/utility/endpoints

Last updated November 2026Maintained by the SocialCrawl team

When to use the Utility Browse Endpoint Catalog API

Use it to discover what is available or filter by platform. For one endpoint's full instructions, call the endpoint guide. Free to call.

From the API reference

Machine-readable catalog of every active SocialCrawl endpoint: path, method, platform, credit cost, required and optional parameters, response archetype, and a link to the per-endpoint usage guide. Generated from the endpoint registry at request time, so it never drifts from what is callable. Free to call.

Utility API

What can you do with the Browse Endpoint Catalog API?

The Browse Endpoint Catalog endpoint gives you structured Utility data with computed fields in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.

Example Request

# GET /v1/utility/endpoints: Free: 0 credits per call.
# --max-time 10: this endpoint's measured p99 latency x 1.5.
# --retry 3: retries timeouts, 429 and 5xx, honoring Retry-After.
# -o response.json keeps only the final attempt's body.
# One Idempotency-Key per request, reused on every retry, so a retried call is never charged twice.
IDEMPOTENCY_KEY=$(od -An -N16 -tx1 /dev/urandom | tr -d ' \n')

What does GET /v1/utility/endpoints return?
A machine-readable catalog of every active SocialCrawl endpoint. Each entry carries the path, HTTP method, platform, credit cost, required and optional parameters, response archetype, and a how_to_use link to the per-endpoint usage guide, so one call maps the full 679-endpoint surface.
How much does the endpoint catalog cost?
Nothing: the call is free at 0 credits, like the other developer-experience endpoints (endpoint, quickstart, and llms). You still authenticate with your x-api-key, but browsing the catalog never spends credits, so tools and agents can call it as often as they like.
Can I filter the endpoint catalog?
Yes. Pass platform to scope the list to one platform slug (for example platform=tiktok), search for a case-insensitive substring match over paths and summaries, and method to keep only GET or POST endpoints. The three filters combine, which keeps agent context windows small.
How does the catalog stay accurate?
It is generated from the running endpoint registry on each request, the same registry the API router uses. New endpoints appear as soon as they ship, retired ones drop out, and the advertised credit costs match billing, so the catalog cannot drift from what is callable.
How do AI agents use the endpoint catalog?
As the discovery step of self-onboarding. An agent calls /v1/utility/endpoints to learn what exists, picks an entry, and follows its how_to_use link to /v1/utility/endpoint for exact parameters and a copy-paste request, without scraping documentation pages. The whole loop is free.
