Social platforms your agent's web search can't reach. One key.
Reddit, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and the rest are walled gardens: web search skims their surface and a browser digs one page at a time. This API reaches the depth of every platform in bulk, through one key and one response format, ready for your coding agent.
Pay only for calls that return data. 50 free credits on signup, no card, no subscription.
one key, one response format

1Skip the platform-by-platform plumbing
Your code authenticates and parses the same way on every platform. Adding another one is a change of path, not a new data layer.
One key
Every request carries the same x-api-key header. No per-platform accounts, tokens or scopes.
One response format
Posts, profiles and comments come back in one item schema, so you write one parser and keep it.
One spec for your agent
Point a coding agent at llms.txt or openapi.json: endpoints, parameters and response shapes, enough to write the integration.
2Choose a platform. Make a call.
Every platform is a path. The caption under each one is what a call costs; the request and response below are real.
curl -H "x-api-key: $SS_KEY" \ "https://api.socialsearchapi.com/v1/hackernews/search?query=cloudflare+workers"
Change hackernews to reddit, x or tiktok and the envelope, the item fields and your parser stay the same. Every platform's exact call, cost and coverage is on its note.

}3Pay for usage, not another subscription
A call costs 1 to 5 credits. 1 credit is $0.004 at list, less in packs. Credits never expire; failed calls and empty results cost nothing.
| Pack | Credits | Price | Per credit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 5,000 | $19 | $0.0038 |
| Growth | 25,000 | $65 | $0.0026 |
| Pro | 150,000 | $315 | $0.0021 |
Three packs, and the bigger the pack the cheaper each credit. Buy one when the free credits run out; the same key keeps working. Every endpoint's price is on the pricing sheet.
4Public data. Clear boundaries.
We return only what is visible without signing in: no private accounts, no DMs, nothing behind a login wall or paywall, and we never ask for anyone's social media credentials. Results are fetched when you ask and handed to you; we keep no archive. Full policy: public data notice.
