Endpoints are split by platform and by what they return, e.g. `GET /v1/twitter/tweet`. ## Authentication Send your API key in the `x-api-key` header (or `Authorization: Bearer `). Create keys in your dashboard. ## Credits Each successful live scrape costs **1 credit**. Credits are prepaid and never expire. ## Caching Every endpoint accepts an optional `cache_max_age` (`1d`|`3d`|`7d`|`14d`|`30d`). A cache hit within that window is returned for **0 credits**. ## Responses Success returns `{ "data": …, "meta": { "requestId", … } }`. Errors return `{ "error": { "code", "message", "requestId" } }` with a matching HTTP status. `meta` on a scrape carries `creditsCharged`, `creditsRemaining`, `cached`, and (on a hit) `cachedAt`. ## Rate limits Requests are limited per team per minute; over the limit returns `429` with a `Retry-After` header. servers: - url: https://api.scraperize.com description: Production security: - ApiKeyAuth: [] tags: - name: Twitter description: Twitter / X scraping endpoints - name: Facebook description: Facebook scraping endpoints - name: Linkme description: Linkme (link.me) scraping endpoints - name: Amazon description: Amazon (creator shop / storefront) scraping endpoints - name: Linkbio description: Linkbio (lnk.bio) scraping endpoints - name: Pillar description: Pillar (pillar.io) scraping endpoints - name: Komi description: Komi (komi.io) scraping endpoints - name: Linktree description: Linktree (linktr.ee) scraping endpoints - name: Kick description: Kick (kick.com) scraping endpoints - name: Snapchat description: Snapchat (snapchat.com) scraping endpoints - name: Telegram description: Telegram (t.me) scraping endpoints - name: LinkedIn description: LinkedIn scraping endpoints - name: Twitch description: Twitch scraping endpoints - name: TikTok description: TikTok (tiktok.com) scraping endpoints - name: Instagram description: Instagram scraping endpoints - name: Lagos Life description: Lagos Life scraping endpoints - name: Bluesky description: Bluesky (bsky.app) scraping endpoints - name: Threads description: Threads (threads.com) scraping endpoints - name: Reddit description: Reddit (reddit.com) scraping endpoints - name: Rumble description: Rumble (rumble.com) scraping endpoints - name: SoundCloud description: SoundCloud (soundcloud.com) scraping endpoints - name: Kwai description: Kwai (kwai.com) scraping endpoints - name: Apple Music description: Apple Music (music.apple.com) scraping endpoints - name: Truth Social description: Truth Social (truthsocial.com) scraping endpoints - name: YouTube description: YouTube (youtube.com) scraping endpoints paths: /v1/soundcloud/track: get: tags: - SoundCloud summary: Track description: >- Returns a SoundCloud track by link: title, description, genre and tags, full-size artwork and waveform, full-length duration, plays, likes, reposts, comments and downloads, upload, release and last-changed dates, license, label, buy link, whether only a 30-second preview plays, its stream variants (transcodings: media URL, preset, protocol, MIME type, quality, length), the release's publisher data (artist, album, ISRC, UPC, ℗ and © lines, explicit flag) and the artist (name, handle, avatar, verified badge, followers).
