One API for public social data. Scrape profiles, posts, comments, videos, and transcripts from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X (Twitter), LinkedIn and Facebook. Pay-as-you-go credits, no rate limits, 100 free credits, no card required.
👋 Hey Product Hunt fam! I’m Luke, and I’m excited to launch Social Fetch today.
🌐 What’s Social Fetch? Social Fetch is a single REST API for real-time public social data—profiles, posts, comments, videos, transcripts, and metrics, across TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, and more. You get predictable JSON and one integration path, instead of a pile of one-off scrapers that break every time a layout changes.
💡 Why I built it Every product that touches social eventually reinvents the same nightmare: bespoke parsers, surprise schema changes, and late-night incidents because a selector moved. I wanted social data to feel boring in the good way—stable fields, documented errors, and a requestId on every call so support can actually help. Your team ships features; the API absorbs the churn.
🚀 Why try it?
⚡ One API for many networks—add coverage without rewriting your stack
🧱 Normalized responses—same concepts across platforms, fewer edge cases in your code
🤖 Built for builders—OpenAPI, official TypeScript SDK, and llms.txt / llms.json so humans and coding agents can integrate fast
🛠️ Fits how you already work—backend services, internal tools, analytics pipelines, creator workflows
🔑 Debuggable by design—when something’s off, you’re not guessing; you have a request ID and a clear error envelope

And are LinkedIn posts available as well? Usually no one can extract posts from there, LinkedIn blocks that.
How do you even bypass bot protections in social networks?
This is a solid approach to a real pain point—the fragility of social data pipelines is something we see constantly with teams trying to monitor brand mentions and competitor activity across platforms. The normalized schema idea should save a lot of debugging time, especially when platforms inevitably change their layouts.
Pricing, though, benchmarking wih SocialData and te myriad Chinese solutions that are like $0.0002/call? That's gotta be tough.
One API across six platforms is genuinely hard - the cat-and-mouse on LinkedIn alone usually wrecks people. The 'no rate limits' line is the part that makes me curious. Is that no client-side rate limit (you're absorbing the upstream cost) or are you proxying through a residential pool that quietly degrades at scale? And how do you handle platform-level breakage - when LinkedIn ships a new auth gate next quarter, what's the realistic time-to-fix on your end?
Tried building an all-in-one influencer resume tool a while back — wish I'd had this then. Would've saved me weeks of scraping headaches!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!! The possibilities I can do with this and the help with Ai. So much times I've wanted to do research, gather data from social media platforms, but I come against either platforms that are just WAY TOO EXPENSIVE (the good ones are super expensive) or to cheap and they don't have the features I need. But now from reading the home page, this is what I've been waiting for!
why am i seeing so many relevant products lately, thank you for building this- i am curious how are you finding your way around these social medias blocking scrappers? are you integrating with other permitted tools? would love to get a take on the consistency of results. again great product luke
Interesting product, but how does it really work on the backend? Do you scrape social media platforms?
The llms.txt / llms.json support is a detail i haven't seen other data APIs do yet. makes sense given how many people are piping social data into agents now. Curious how you handle linkedin — that one always seems to be the flakiest. is coverage there stable or still hit or miss?
Unified APIs for social data always look great… stability and consistency across platforms is usually the hard part.

Who hunted Social Fetch?
Social Fetch was hunted by Chris Messina. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
