SocialKit

Social media scraping APIs for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X and LinkedIn

Visit SocialKit

SocialKit is an API service that turns social media URLs into structured JSON, covering YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and video file URLs. It returns transcripts, AI summaries, comments, statistics, profiles, and posts, handling page parsing, platform differences, and output cleanup so callers receive consistent fields without maintaining their own scrapers.

The service offers more than 40 endpoints, including transcript, summarizer, video details, comments, channel details, search, hashtag search, and download APIs. It provides a hosted MCP server, agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, and a REST API that can be wrapped as tools in frameworks such as OpenAI, LangChain, and CrewAI. Native connections and access-token use are available for Zapier, Make, and n8n, with responses usable in apps, databases, dashboards, and Google Sheets or Airtable.

SocialKit is aimed at developers, marketers, researchers, and content creators building AI apps, social listening tools, influencer research, analytics dashboards, and no-code automations. It is packaged with a free plan offering a monthly credit allowance and a request rate limit, plus paid editions with larger monthly credit pools, higher rate limits, and priority support on higher tiers. Monthly and yearly billing are available, along with pay-as-you-go credits; most requests consume one credit, with heavier results using more. An implementation service is offered separately on a custom quote basis.
