Pipedream
Connect Social Fetch to Pipedream workflows — polling profile updates, consolidated profile/post actions, and credit balance checks with your API key.
Add Social Fetch to Pipedream workflows with your sfk_… API key. Each step returns the same { data, meta } envelope as the REST API. The app has one polling trigger and 25 actions: profiles, posts, feeds, transcripts and balance, plus search and trending feeds across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, Threads, Reddit and LinkedIn.
What you'll need
- A Pipedream account.
- A Social Fetch API key (starts with
sfk_) — create one in your API Keys dashboard. - Credits for metered routes — see Credits & billing.
Connect your API key
- Open a workflow and add a Social Fetch step (search for Social Fetch in the step picker).
- When prompted, paste your full
sfk_…key from API Keys. - Pipedream validates the connection with
GET /v1/whoamibefore saving.
The same credential is reused across every Social Fetch source and action in your account.

New Profile Update (trigger)
The polling trigger watches one profile and emits when the payload changes:
- Choose a Platform and Handle (TikTok, Instagram, Twitter/X, Threads) or Profile URL (Facebook, LinkedIn).
- Pipedream polls on the default timer, fetches the profile, and compares the response to the last snapshot.
- On diff, the workflow receives the full API response plus a
diffobject.
Use for creator monitoring, follower alerts, or workflows that react to profile changes.
Platform coverage by action

Get Post — TikTok, Instagram, Twitter/X, Threads, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn (post URL).
List Profile Posts — TikTok (videos), Instagram (posts or reels), Twitter/X (tweets), Threads and Facebook (posts). Pass data.page.nextCursor from a previous response to fetch the next page.

Credits
