Social listening without five integrations

Comments, post stats, and search across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, and LinkedIn — one request shape, one API key, per-call pricing your finance team can model. Ship the listening feature this sprint instead of this quarter.

Built for tracking pipelines

A daily brand-mention sweep

Search for your brand, then pull comments on anything that spiked:

# 1. find new videos mentioning the brand
curl "https://api.scrapersocial.com/v1/tiktok/search?query=acme%20widgets" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..."

# 2. pull comments for each hit (2 credits per comment)
curl "https://api.scrapersocial.com/v1/tiktok/comments?url=https://www.tiktok.com/@user/video/123&limit=50" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..."

# 3. feed comment text to your sentiment model, store the scores

The same two calls work on Instagram — swap tiktok for instagram. See the full pipeline recipe in the docs.

Predictable cost at volume

A sweep of 500 comments a day on TikTok is 1,000 credits — $5 at the monthly rate, $4.50 on annual. The credit table prices every endpoint upfront, and volume plans cover millions of calls.

Planning the whole data layer, not just the sweep? The deep dive on what a social listening API actually needs walks through search, comments, stats and profiles — what to build, what to buy, and what it costs.

Common questions

Does the API do sentiment analysis?

Not as a scored endpoint. You get the raw comment text and feed it to whatever model you trust; the AI summary endpoints can give you a fast per-video gist. Sentiment models age quickly and vary by language and niche, so we'd rather hand you clean inputs than a black-box score.

How often can I poll?

Rate limits are 20 requests/minute on trial keys, 200 on the monthly plan, and 300 on annual. A daily sweep of a few hundred posts fits comfortably; for bigger pulls, async jobs accept the work and a webhook tells you when results are ready.

Which platforms have comments endpoints?

TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. X doesn't have a comments endpoint; the tweets endpoint returns reply counts per post, which is usually enough to spot a thread worth reading by hand.

What does monitoring actually cost per month?

Price it from the meter: comments cost 2-5 credits each depending on platform, search results 3-4 credits. A daily sweep of 500 TikTok comments runs 1,000 credits a day, so that's a $150/month workload at the monthly rate. A lighter daily check on 100 comments lands around $30/month.
