Web scrapers

Search API

Discovery rather than lookup. These endpoints answer the question a URL cannot: what exists on this topic right now. Keyword search, hashtag search, people search and the platforms' own trending feeds all return ranked lists in the platform's native order, and the ranking is the point. You are seeing what a real user in that market would see, not an alphabetical dump, which is what makes the result usable for trend work and useless if it were re-sorted.

  • rank Position in the result set, preserved so relevance survives the transfer.
  • type What each hit is: an account, a post, a sound, a product.
  • region The market the ranking was computed for, where the endpoint takes one.
  • cursor Pagination token for walking past the first page of results.

What people build with it

Where search api earns its keep.

  • Track which accounts and posts rank for the keywords that matter to a brand.
  • Find creators in a niche by searching the way their audience searches.
  • Watch a hashtag's volume and the content under it over time.
  • Read a platform's trending feed for a specific country instead of your own.

Search API questions

Answered before you ask.

The scraper docs

Google search results are one endpoint in this group. The rest are the in-platform search boxes on TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Threads, Instagram and Pinterest, which return entirely different result sets and are the ones that matter for social work.

Until the platform stops serving them. Search results are usually capped by the platform well before the data runs out, and the cursor coming back empty is the signal you have reached that edge.

On the endpoints that expose a region parameter, yes, and it is documented per endpoint. Where the platform does not accept one, the result is the platform's default market and the response says which.

Yes, and that is expected. Trending is recomputed continuously by the platform, so two calls minutes apart can legitimately differ. Snapshot on a schedule if you need a time series.

Docs and AI

Connect your scraper to an AI, any time.

The whole Scraper API is published as markdown, so an assistant reads every endpoint, every parameter and a real response without a key and writes your integration. And because a scrape is one GET that answers in JSON, an agent can run the scraper itself, on its own schedule, with your key.

The API as markdown

Paste /llms/scraper-api.txt into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Copilot: every endpoint and the whole catalog, in one file. No key and no account to read it.

An agent can call it

One GET with your key returns structured JSON, so an agent scrapes on its own schedule. No browser to drive, no parser to keep alive between runs.

What search and trends covers

15 endpoints across 7 platforms: TikTok Search Users, TikTok Hashtag Search, TikTok Keyword Search, TikTok Trending Feed, TikTok Top Search, YouTube Search, YouTube Trending Shorts, YouTube Hashtag Search, Instagram Reels Search, Reddit Search, Reddit Subreddit Search, Threads Search, Threads Search Users, Google Search Results and Pinterest Search. They are separate scrapers behind one API key, and they answer in the same JSON shape, so the code that reads one reads all of them.

Why the shape matters

Keyword, hashtag and people search, plus native trending feeds. Working platform by platform means a second integration for every network you add. Here the field names, the pagination and the error codes are the same wherever the data came from, so adding another platform is a change of URL rather than a rewrite.

What it costs

Calls in this group start at $1.49 per 1,000 and are billed from one balance, per call, with no subscription. Blocked, errored and timed-out calls are not charged, and each endpoint prices itself: a heavier lookup costs more than a simple one, and the page for each endpoint prints its own rate.

Ready when you are.

Your dashboard is ten seconds away. No sales call, no subscription, no minimum.
