Why it exists

Agents hit walls

Reddit 403s curl. Instagram wants a login. X's API bills per post read. The moment an agent needs social data, it stalls — and it has no way to fix that on its own.

Two providers per platform

When a native source blocks, we fail over to a backup automatically and served_by tells you which one answered. Failed upstream attempts don't cost you credits.

Priced per call, not per seat

A standard search is 1 credit; platforms that cost us more cost you more, and every price is published per endpoint. Credits never expire.

Start in one call

Verify an email, get a key worth 5 calls on any platform. No card. Buy credits and that trial key is retired automatically, replaced by a permanent one.
