FAQ

Common questions

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 3.16 seconds 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 3.16 seconds — 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, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, X (Twitter), Threads, and Reddit — 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.

Can Social Fetch support profile enrichment, valuation, or scoring workflows?

Yes. Social Fetch is a strong fit for the social-data layer: fetch normalized public profiles, posts, metrics, comments, transcripts, and engagement signals, then apply your own weighting, scoring, verification, or valuation logic in your app.

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.
