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: Truth Social description: Truth Social (truthsocial.com) scraping endpoints - name: YouTube description: YouTube (youtube.com) scraping endpoints paths: /v1/youtube/community-post: get: tags: - YouTube summary: Community post description: >- Fetches one YouTube community post by its URL: its `type` (`text`, `image`, `video`, `playlist`, `poll`, `quiz` or `shared`), author, full text with its links and hashtags, the exact time it was posted and whether it was edited, exact likes and exact comment count (or that comments are turned off), plus what it carries: its images at their original size, the video or playlist it links, a poll's choices and vote total, a quiz's choices with the correct answer and explanations, or the original post it shares.
