Under the hood

Designed so your team ships features, not glue code

Auth, schema normalisation, scraper upkeep — already handled. Call an endpoint, get JSON back.

·drop-in

One header. Every endpoint.

Pass your key, call the endpoint, get typed JSON back. No OAuth dance, no SDK required — but a typed one's there if you want it.

import { SocialFetchClient } from "@socialfetch/sdk"
const client = new SocialFetchClient({

Integration

From API key to production in an afternoon

Minimal ceremony: authenticate once, then call resource-oriented routes that return predictable JSON—whether you're prototyping or shipping v1.

01
Step 01
Get your API key
Sign up in under a minute and receive a free API key instantly. No credit card required, no approval queue.
02
Step 02
Call any endpoint
Each platform exposes its own paths under `/v1/`—handles on TikTok, Instagram, and X, a `url` query for LinkedIn people and companies—while every response shares the same normalized envelope.
03
Step 03
Ship to production
Schema is stable across platforms and API versions. Add networks to your product later without rewriting your integration.

Founders and engineering teams using Social Fetch as the social-data layer behind their own products.

Social Fetch quietly powers the cross-platform profile data behind Social Crow. One key, one JSON shape, and the same response whether we're pulling a TikTok creator or an Instagram account — we don't have to think about it.

We needed reliable TikTok and YouTube transcripts at volume for Voice Gecko. Social Fetch gave us a single transcript endpoint that just keeps working — no broken scrapers, no maintenance burden on our small team.

Scam Finder lives or dies on fresh profile data across half a dozen platforms. Social Fetch returns live results on every request, so we're never flagging accounts based on a stale cache. That alone made it the easy choice.

At IP Flare we're picky about anything we put in the critical path. Social Fetch holds up under heavy concurrent load with no rate limits to negotiate, and the response shape is the same every time. It's the rare API I haven't had to wrap in retries.

We integrated Social Fetch in an afternoon. One API key, the same JSON shape regardless of platform — it just works. We haven't touched the integration since.

Before this we were maintaining four separate scrapers and the failure rate was killing us. Switching to Social Fetch was the best engineering decision we made this quarter.

FAQ

Answers before you open a ticket

The questions SaaS teams ask before they wire Social Fetch into staging.

Do I need a credit card to get started?

No credit card required. Sign up and receive 100 free credits instantly—start making real API calls in minutes with no payment information needed.

Do credits expire?

Never. Credits last forever. Buy them once and use them on your schedule—whether that's tomorrow or two years from now.

Am I locked into a monthly commitment?

No. Social Fetch is pay-as-you-go: buy credits when you need them with no recurring subscription, no cancellation fees, and no minimum terms.

Are there rate limits?

No per-minute caps, no throttling, no artificial concurrency limits. Run as many parallel requests as your product needs—your credits, your pace.

What is the average response time?

Around one second on average. Because Social Fetch fetches live data from each platform on every request (no caching), responses take a little longer than a static API — and in return you always get fresh data, not yesterday's snapshot.

Is the data real-time?

Yes. Every request fetches the latest publicly available data from the platform at request time — typically in around a second — so your product always reflects what's live instead of a stale cache.

What's your uptime?

We currently run at 99.8% uptime measured across the public API over the last 90 days. If you ever hit an issue, every response includes a request ID you can send to support@socialfetch.dev.

Which platforms are supported?

TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and Facebook — all through one API surface with the same JSON shape and one API key.

Can we use this in production?

Yes. The API is designed for production SaaS: predictable JSON shapes, versioned routes, and operational focus so your team ships features instead of maintaining scrapers.

What about compliance?

Social Fetch returns publicly available data. You're responsible for how you use it under your contracts, platform terms, and applicable law—we're happy to discuss use-case fit.
