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. V1 includes one polling source and five actions: profiles, posts, feed pagination, transcripts, and balance.
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.
Components (v1)
| Type | Name | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Source | New Profile Update | Poll a profile on a schedule; emit when the payload changes |
| Action | Get Profile | Public profile lookup by handle or URL |
| Action | Get Post | Post, video, or tweet lookup from URL |
| Action | List Profile Posts | Recent feed items with optional cursor pagination |
| Action | Get Transcript | Video or post transcript from URL |
| Action | Get Credit Balance | Current API credit balance |
Every action maps to the same routes documented in the API reference.
New Profile Update (source)
The polling source 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 Profile — TikTok, Instagram, Twitter/X, Threads (handle), Facebook and LinkedIn (profile URL).
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.
Get Transcript — TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube (media URL).
Get Credit Balance — account-wide; no platform input required.
Credits
Each step consumes credits. meta.creditsCharged is on every response. See Credits & billing for metered routes and 402 handling.
Full API surface
Pipedream v1 covers high-traffic workflow paths. For every documented route — Reddit, Spotify, web scrape, and more — use the REST API, TypeScript SDK, n8n node, or Apify Store Actors for TikTok-only Apify runs.
