Social Fetch is the social media data API for teams that need to ship features, not maintain scrapers.
Every major platform changes its DOM, blocks proxies, and breaks homegrown integrations. Social Fetch handles that infrastructure โ headless browsers, rate limits, normalization โ so you get clean, live JSON back on every request. No stale cache. No per-platform parsers in your codebase.
What you can fetch: profiles and follower data, posts and reels, comments and threads, video transcripts, hashtag/keyword search, ad library intelligence, and engagement metrics โ across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Reddit, Threads, GitHub, Spotify, and more.
Built for: creator tools, marketing analytics, brand safety and impersonation detection, competitive intelligence, enrichment pipelines, monitoring dashboards, and AI agent workflows. Integrate with cURL, Python, Node, our official TypeScript SDK, or our MCP server for Cursor and Claude.
Pricing: pay-as-you-go credits that never expire. No monthly subscription. Start with 100 free credits โ no credit card required.

SocialFetch.dev's answer
Social Fetch provides a unified REST API that lets developers collect public data from 20+ social platforms โ TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Reddit, Facebook, Threads, and more โ using a single consistent JSON schema. There is no need to learn or maintain separate APIs for each network. Credits never expire, and you only pay for what you use, making it ideal for both prototyping and production-scale data pipelines.
SocialFetch.dev's answer
Unlike solutions that require you to set up and maintain separate API integrations for each platform, Social Fetch gives you one API key and one consistent schema across all supported networks. You get the same response structure whether you are fetching TikTok videos, Instagram posts, or YouTube channels. The pay-as-you-go model means no wasted monthly spend on idle subscriptions, and credits never expire so there is no pressure to use them up.
SocialFetch.dev's answer
Social Fetch is primarily used by developers, data engineers, and growth marketers who need programmatic access to social media data without building and maintaining individual platform integrations. Common use cases include social analytics tools, influencer research platforms, content aggregation pipelines, brand monitoring dashboards, and AI training datasets that require large-scale social content.
SocialFetch.dev's answer
Social Fetch was founded by Luke Askew, a developer who repeatedly ran into the same problem while building social analytics tools: every platform had a different API, different authentication flows, different rate limits, and different response shapes. Building and maintaining integrations for even a handful of platforms was a significant ongoing burden. Social Fetch was created to solve this by acting as a single abstraction layer, so developers can focus on what they are building rather than on the plumbing beneath it.
SocialFetch.dev's answer
Social Fetch is built on Next.js and TypeScript, deployed on Vercel. The API layer is serverless and runs on edge infrastructure for low latency globally. Data is processed and stored using cloud-native services, and the platform uses tRPC for type-safe internal APIs. The codebase is a TypeScript monorepo, enabling shared types between the API, frontend, and internal tooling.
SocialFetch.dev's answer
Social Fetch is currently used by early-stage startups, independent developers, and small analytics teams. As a newer product launched in 2024, we are still growing our customer base.

You two have to figure out #1. For #2, is it really starting to earn or just keeping busy? For me, I am using my skillset to volunteer for nonprofits. I found catchafire.org, which matches volunteers to non-profits, projects they submit. They are happy to have someone to help, you get to work at a comparatively leisurely pace, win-win. It's what's worked for me. There are other platforms like catchafire. Source: about 3 years ago
Catchafire.org is a website where non-profits post volunteer opportunities for people with specialized skills. You could get some real-world experience in a sector that may be relevant to your interestsโeducation, the arts, etc.โand potentially a couple of good references for future employers.

I recommend doing a volunteer gig at taprootplus.org or catchafire.org. Great learning experience, remote work, and they are very tolerant of mistakes and learning curves. If you do good, have them give you a recommendation on LinkedIn. Source: about 3 years ago
Look for project coordinator or project officer role; nonprofits/ NGOs seem to be opening such roles quite often. Also, check out catchafire.org (volunteering for nonprofits/ NGOs), good luck. Source: over 3 years ago
I am still trying to break into the industry and I have some confidence issues regarding my ability to do the job. I have always been a more hands-on person so until I can get my hands wet it's hard for me to feel comfortable. I even saw someone recommend catchafire.org and I even feel incapable of doing these volunteer jobs. Source: over 3 years ago
