The social media data API built for AI agents
One unified schema across 21 platforms, MCP-ready, computed fields out of the box. Your agent queries social data — SocialCrawl handles the rest.
Works with 21 platforms
How do AI agents query social media data?
AI agents query social media data through a single API key — no per-platform authentication, no schema normalization, no rate limit management. SocialCrawl handles it all so your agent just reasons.
108 endpoints. 21 platforms. One API key.

From trend-spotting agents to brand monitoring pipelines — one API key replaces dozens of scrapers. See what developers are building with SocialCrawl today.
Social Monitoring Agents
Brand monitoring agents that watch 21 platforms simultaneously — catching sentiment shifts, viral moments, and emerging trends in real time. One API key. Zero per-platform auth flows.

Brand Intelligence Agents
Catch brand mentions at 50, not 50,000. AI agents that monitor sentiment across every platform, detect crises early, and generate alerts — powered by engagement_rate and estimated_reach fields that arrive pre-computed on every response.

Why do LLMs need a unified social media schema?
Every social platform returns a different JSON shape. Without a unified schema, your agent burns tokens normalizing data before it can reason about it. SocialCrawl solves this before the data leaves our servers.
Step 1 — Connect
1. API key or MCP config.
Connect via API key or drop in the MCP social media config. Your agent is live in under 60 seconds — no approval process, no per-platform auth.
Step 2 — Query
2. One consistent request shape.
Query any of 108 endpoints with one consistent request. TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X — same endpoint pattern, same response structure, same API key.
Step 3 — Receive
3. Unified, AI-ready JSON.
Receive unified JSON with AI-computed fields — engagement_rate, estimated_reach, content_category, language. Your agent reasons about social data immediately. No token waste on raw HTML parsing.
Always accurate
Live data, not cached pages.
Every request hits the actual platform. Your agent never reasons from stale data — critical for trend detection and real-time brand monitoring.
Zero maintenance
Platform changes — handled.
When platforms change their APIs (and they do, constantly), SocialCrawl updates. Your agent code stays the same. Write once, query every platform forever.
How does SocialCrawl compare to raw scraping APIs?
SocialCrawl is purpose-built for AI agents — not adapted from a general web scraper. Here's what that means in practice.
| Feature | SocialCrawl | Raw Scraping APIs | Manual Integration | DIY |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unified schema | One JSON shape for all 21 platforms | Raw HTML — you parse it yourself | Different shape per platform SDK | Build and maintain per-platform parsers |
| MCP support | Yes — drop-in config, works in minutes | No — HTTP only | No — requires custom wrapper | Build your own MCP server |
| AI-computed fields | engagement_rate, estimated_reach, content_category on every response | None — compute it yourself | Platform metrics only | Build your own analytics pipeline |
| Platforms covered | 21 platforms, 108 endpoints, one API key | Any site, no social-specific structure | One platform per integration | One at a time — each breaks differently |
| Agent-ready output | Structured JSON — no token waste | Raw HTML — burns agent tokens | Varies — often needs post-processing | Whatever you build |
| Rate limits | Credit-based — no artificial limits | Constant bans and CAPTCHAs | Strict platform quotas | Rate limit battles every week |
| Free tier | 100 free credits — no credit card required | Varies | Varies per platform | None — full infrastructure cost |
| Time to first data | Under 60 seconds | Hours to set up | Days to weeks | Days to weeks per platform |
