The social media data API built for AI agents
One unified schema across 51 platforms, MCP-ready. When an endpoint supports a computed field and the required source inputs are available, the normalized response includes it. Your agent queries social data. SocialCrawl handles the rest.
Searching 51 platforms in parallel
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.
420 endpoints. 51 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.

Daily Social Briefings
Automated news agents that read TikTok, X, Reddit, and the rest of our 51 platforms every morning, then let your LLM generate trend reports, competitive summaries, and content briefs. Agent-ready social data with no parsing overhead.

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 where the endpoint supports them and the source provides the required inputs.

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 420 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 computed fields: engagement_rate, estimated_reach, content_category, language. Your agent reasons about social data immediately. No token waste on raw HTML parsing.
Freshness you control
Current data, with visible cache controls.
Cache misses fetch current platform data. Repeats use endpoint-specific 2 to 30 minute cache windows and cost 0 credits on a hit; send Cache-Control: no-cache for a billed refresh when the agent must refresh.
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 51 platforms | Raw HTML that you parse 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 |
| Computed fields | Endpoint-supported engagement_rate, estimated_reach, and content_category when source inputs are available | None, compute it yourself | Platform metrics only | Build your own analytics pipeline |
| Platforms covered | 51 platforms, 420 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: 600/min, 50 concurrent | 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 |
