# Utility Call Planner API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/utility/plan)

> Turn a job written in plain words ("track mentions of Acme on TikTok and Reddit", "a creator's profile, posts and comments") into the exact calls to make, in order: method, path, the parameters your question filled, the ones still missing, which step's rows fill a later step, the credit price of each call, and a curl for each with every unknown value left as a {placeholder}. Four jobs are planned today (brand monitoring, one creator, a topic search, a saved search on a monitor); a one-call question returns that one call. A question outside those returns uncertain with no steps instead of a guessed chain, and anything the API cannot return (a follower history, a new-post webhook) is listed under cannot. Nothing is run. Free to call.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/utility/plan` costs Free (0 credits) and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | yes | The job in plain words, in any language. Up to 600 characters are read |
