Social Fetch

Social Fetch is a social media scraping API that gives developers structured data from over 13 platforms — TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Reddit, Facebook, Threads, Spotify, GitHub, and more. Instead of building and maintaining your own scrapers, you send a single API request with your key and get back clean JSON with profiles, posts, transcripts, and metrics. The data is fetched live on every request, so you always see the current state of an account, not stale cached results.

The API is designed to be simple and reliable. You authenticate with one header across all endpoints, and the response includes a lookupStatus field that tells you explicitly if the handle was found or not — no guessing from empty arrays. Social Fetch handles the messy parts: DOM shifts, auth changes, and rate limiting. You can burst requests without negotiating per-minute caps, and credits never expire. If an infrastructure failure causes a lookup to fail, you don't get charged for it. Every call returns a requestId so you can paste it into support and get a trace of what happened.

This tool is built for teams that need social media data in production pipelines — monitoring brand accounts, running research studies, or enriching internal datasets. Developers can integrate it in minutes with the REST API or the official TypeScript SDK. The pricing is straightforward: pay-as-you-go credits with no subscription required, and optional monthly plans for steady volume. If you've ever spent a weekend fixing a broken scraper, Social Fetch lets you get back to building features instead.
