Social Fetch is a unified API platform that lets developers scrape profiles, posts, comments, videos, and transcripts from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and Facebook in real time. Built by indie developer Luke (lukem121), it unifies six social platforms behind a single TypeScript SDK with OpenAPI spec support and a pay-as-you-go credit model — no monthly commitment, no rate limits, 100 free credits to start. The core problem Social Fetch solves is fragmentation. Each major social platform has incompatible APIs (or no public API at all), constantly changing endpoints, and aggressive bot detection. Building and maintaining scrapers for all six platforms is a multi-month engineering effort that quickly becomes a maintenance burden. Social Fetch abstracts all of that away behind a clean, consistent interface that works today. For AI builders specifically, social data is increasingly the raw material for training data pipelines, competitive intelligence agents, content analytics, and trend detection. Social Fetch landed #3 on Product Hunt with 234 upvotes on launch day, suggesting significant demand. The pay-as-you-go pricing is appealing for projects with variable data needs, and the free credit tier lets teams evaluate it without any upfront commitment.

Wrangler is the CLI tool for developing, testing, and deploying Cloudflare Workers. Local development with Miniflare, D1, R2, and KV emulation.
Reviewer scorecard
“Maintaining scrapers for six platforms is genuinely painful. If Social Fetch keeps up with API changes and anti-bot measures, the time savings alone justify the cost. The TypeScript SDK and OpenAPI spec mean zero friction to integrate.”
“The best local development experience for edge functions. Miniflare emulates the entire Cloudflare platform locally.”
“Scraping LinkedIn and Instagram at scale almost certainly violates their ToS, and both platforms have sued scrapers before. Using this in a production application carries real legal risk that isn't disclosed on the landing page.”
“Local emulation of D1, R2, KV, and Durable Objects means you develop at full speed without deploys.”
“Real-time social data is the nervous system of AI-powered market intelligence. A unified cross-platform API turns social media into a structured data source that agents can actually reason over.”
“Local-first development tools for edge platforms will become the standard. Wrangler leads this pattern.”
“For content creators tracking trends and competitors across platforms, this is a tool that would save hours of manual monitoring weekly. The pay-as-you-go model means you only pay when you're actually using it.”
