Social Media
Fifteen scrapers for the biggest social platforms — public profiles, posts, hashtags, events, and feeds. We handle the anti-bot, you get clean JSON.
Overview
Social-media scrapers cover the public surfaces of the four platforms most teams pull from: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn. Each scraper targets one page-type — profile, post, hashtag, event, feed — so the JSON shape stays predictable even when the underlying app refactors its UI. We handle the anti-bot, the rate limiting, and the residential routing; you receive the parsed structure.
Common use cases:
- Brand monitoring: poll
instagram-profile/tiktok-profilefor follower count, posting cadence, and engagement trends across competitors and influencers. - Influencer discovery: walk
instagram-hashtagorinstagram-reels-audioto find creators using a given hashtag or trending sound. - Recruiting / sales prospecting: enrich a CRM with
linkedin-profileandlinkedin-companydata — title, headcount, headline, current role. - Event marketing: pull
facebook-eventattendance and timing for tracking event saturation in a city or industry vertical. - Trend research: feed
tiktok-productandinstagram-postinto trend-detection pipelines for marketing or product research.
Only public surfaces are supported — login-walled or private content is out of scope and not something the scrapers attempt. Where a platform has multiple post types (Instagram has profile + post + reel + hashtag, for example), each gets its own scraper so you don't pay for fields you don't need.
Public Facebook surfaces — pages, profiles, groups, hashtags, events. Useful for brand monitoring, event marketing, and discovery in regions where Facebook has higher share than Instagram (most of EMEA, parts of LATAM).
