Unified Schema

One schema, every platform

Other APIs return different JSON shapes for every platform. A TikTok post looks nothing like a Reddit post. SocialCrawl normalizes everything into a unified, consistent schema.

{
  "success": true,
  "platform": "tiktok",
  "data": {
    "content": { "text": "...", "type": "video" },
    "author": { "username": "charlidamelio", "followers": 124000 },
    "engagement": { "likes": 5200, "engagement_rate": 0.0455 },
    "metadata": { "language": "en", "content_category": "food" }
  }
}

This same structure is returned whether you query TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, or any other platform.

Computed Intelligence

Data that's ready for decisions, not just collection.

Other APIs hand you raw numbers. We calculate the metrics your agents actually need — on every response, across every platform.

engagement_rate

0.045

Likes + comments / followers, pre-calculated. Spot high-performing content without building your own formula.

estimated_reach

42,000

Real audience impact from follower count and engagement patterns. Compare creators by influence, not vanity numbers.

content_category

"food"

AI-classified into tech, food, fashion, gaming, and more. Route posts to the right workflow automatically.

language

"en"

Detected on every post. Segment multilingual data without a separate NLP step.

Same computed fields on all 21 platforms. Write your logic once.

Transparent pricing

Most endpoints follow a simple 1 request = 1 credit model. No complex calculations or hidden costs.

Cost effective

No monthly commitments. Buy more credits only when you need them. Pay as you go — no subscription required.

Real-time data

Get the most current, publicly available data from social media platforms. Reflects live platform data — no cached or delayed information.

One API, 21 platforms

How does SocialCrawl handle 21 different platforms?

Social media scraping is hard. Schema normalization, authentication, rate limits, pagination — we handle it all before your data arrives.

One schema, every platform

Write once, query them all.

21 platforms return 21 different JSON shapes. We normalize every response into one consistent structure.

Ready-to-use metrics

Metrics ready before you ask.

Engagement rate, estimated reach, content category, language — calculated on every response automatically.

Consistent pagination

One cursor, every platform.

Every platform paginates differently. We give you one consistent cursor-based system.

Always fresh

Live data, never cached.

Every request hits the actual platform. No stale data, no cache lag.

Things you'll never build

Auth, proxies, and rate limits — handled.

Platform authentication, IP rotation, rate limit management — abstracted away. Just send a GET request.
