About LurkAPI
LurkAPI is a social media data API. Send one GET request and get clean JSON from public pages on 16 platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, X and LinkedIn. Most calls cost 1 credit and answer in about a second. Start with 100 free credits, no card, then buy packs that never expire.
- Who it's for
- developers, AI agent builders, marketers and ad researchers
- The problem
- Public posts, profiles, ads and transcripts sit behind a different page and format on every platform, and AI assistants only know what they remember.
- How LurkAPI solves it
- One GET request returns clean JSON from 16 platforms through 88 endpoints, with one key and one response envelope. The same endpoints are an MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can look things up directly.
- What makes it different
- About a second on average, most calls cost 1 credit, failed calls are free, and credits never expire. 69 ScrapeCreators endpoints answer at the same path, so switching is a change of base URL and key.
