scrapecreators-api

scrapecreators-api is a skill for Claude Code from ScrapeCreators/social-media-research-skills. It costs 161 tokens per session (4,555 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A REST API for collecting publicly available data from many social media and link-in-bio platforms. An API is a way for software to request data automatically, with results returned as JSON.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fetch public profiles, posts, comments, videos, searches, and related data from the supported platforms through software.
Why use it?
It avoids building separate data collectors for each supported platform. Developers can use documented web requests to retrieve platform data with an API key.

About the project

Social Media Research Skills is a collection of workflows that let AI coding agents research public social-media data across platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, and LinkedIn. Marketers and researchers use it to find unusually successful posts, mine comments, study competitors, analyze ads, and extract trends into business outputs. The catalogue skills and plugin package these workflows for supported AI agents.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

scrapecreators-api scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

ScrapeCreators API

Scrape and extract public data from 27+ social media platforms. 110 endpoints available.

Base URL: https://api.scrapecreators.com

Get your API key at https://scrapecreators.com

How to Call

All endpoints use GET requests. Pass query params in the URL and authenticate with the x-api-key header. Responses are JSON.

curl -s "https://api.scrapecreators.com/v1/tiktok/profile?handle=charlidamelio" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY"

Or with fetch:

const res = await fetch(
  "https://api.scrapecreators.com/v1/tiktok/profile?handle=charlidamelio",
  { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY } }
);
const data = await res.json();

Endpoint paths use the pattern /v1/platform/action. The tables below list each endpoint path and its required params.

API Spec

Each endpoint has its own OpenAPI spec at https://docs.scrapecreators.com/{path}/openapi.json.

For example: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/tiktok/profile/openapi.json

Important: Once you've determined which endpoint(s) to call from the routing tables below, fetch the single-endpoint OpenAPI spec first to get the full parameter details, types, and example response before making the actual API call.

The full spec covering all endpoints is at https://docs.scrapecreators.com/openapi.json (large file — prefer the per-endpoint specs above).

Intent Routing

Map user intent to the right endpoint. After selecting an endpoint, fetch its OpenAPI spec at https://docs.scrapecreators.com/{path}/openapi.json for full param details before calling.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
