Frequently asked questions

Common questions about platforms, output and pricing.

Getting Started

How do I test with no commitment?

Sign up free and get 300 credits (about 150 lookups), no card needed. Paid plans are monthly and you can cancel anytime.

How do I get an API key?

From your dashboard, go to Settings → API Keys and generate one. Pass it as the X-API-Key header on every request.

Platforms & Coverage

Which platforms are covered?

TikTok, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, Threads, Pinterest, Snapchat: 62 actions, each documented in the docs. Missing one? Tell us and we’ll add it.

Do I need to give you a login?

No. Every action here reads public data.

What do I get back?

Structured JSON with parsed fields: names, bios, follower counts, post text, media URLs, likes, comments, timestamps. No HTML to parse on your side.

Pricing & Billing

What does a call cost?

A lookup — a profile, a post, a page of comments or search results — is 2 credits. Bigger pulls, like a follower page or a people search, cost more.

Are failed calls billed?

No. You only pay for successful calls.

Can I buy more credits mid-month?

Yes, top up from your account page anytime.

Can I change or cancel my plan?

Cancel anytime from your account page. To switch plans, pick a new plan above; it replaces your current one.
