Do you scrape private accounts?
No - public profiles and public content only, scoped per platform and per use case before anything goes live. No login-gated collection, no personal data harvesting.
Which platforms?
Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, TikTok and X - scoped per deployment, with a consistent schema across them so share-of-voice and engagement benchmarks line up platform to platform.
How fresh are the social feeds?
Your cadence - from always-on monitoring of priority handles to daily or weekly sweeps of wider creator sets. Trend teams typically run hot lists hourly.
How do I get the API documentation and a data sample?
API documentation is public at scrapeguys.com/docs - request format, response schemas, status codes and worked examples. For a sample dataset on your exact targets, book a short scoping call: each deployment is customized to your schema, fields and volumes, and most teams have a sample in hand within a day.
How is the data delivered - do we have to integrate an API?
An API is one option, not a requirement. The same data layer ships as REST JSON APIs with async jobs and webhooks, scheduled exports into Power BI, Looker, Snowflake, BigQuery or Google Sheets, a white-label dashboard your team signs into with zero integration, or MCP tools your AI agents call live. You can mix channels - API for engineering, dashboard for the commercial team - on one deployment.
Is the data collection compliant?
We collect publicly available data only - no login-gated content, no private accounts, no personal data harvesting. Every deployment is reviewed against the target and the use case before it goes live, and enterprise contracts include the data-processing and confidentiality terms your legal team expects. Bring your compliance questions to the scoping call - we answer them in writing.
