ScrapeCreators API
Scrape and extract public data from 27+ social media platforms. 110 endpoints available.
Base URL: https://api.scrapecreators.com
Get your API key at https://scrapecreators.com
How to Call
All endpoints use GET requests. Pass query params in the URL and authenticate with the x-api-key header. Responses are JSON.
curl -s "https://api.scrapecreators.com/v1/tiktok/profile?handle=charlidamelio" \
-H "x-api-key: $SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY"
Or with fetch:
const res = await fetch(
"https://api.scrapecreators.com/v1/tiktok/profile?handle=charlidamelio",
{ headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY } }
);
const data = await res.json();
Endpoint paths use the pattern /v1/platform/action. The tables below list each endpoint path and its required params.
API Spec
Each endpoint has its own OpenAPI spec at https://docs.scrapecreators.com/{path}/openapi.json.
For example: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/tiktok/profile/openapi.json
Important: Once you've determined which endpoint(s) to call from the routing tables below, fetch the single-endpoint OpenAPI spec first to get the full parameter details, types, and example response before making the actual API call.
The full spec covering all endpoints is at https://docs.scrapecreators.com/openapi.json (large file — prefer the per-endpoint specs above).
Intent Routing
Map user intent to the right endpoint. After selecting an endpoint, fetch its OpenAPI spec at https://docs.scrapecreators.com/{path}/openapi.json for full param details before calling.

reddit-automation
flowkit-labs/skills
Find Reddit threads where people are genuinely asking for what you offer, then draft short, genuinely helpful replies — disclosing your affiliation honestly and naming your product only when it truly answers the question. Two moves: discovery — scan the right subreddits for real needs (recommendation asks, expressed pain, competitor mentions) and rank the few threads where you can actually help; drafting — write from real experience, respect each community's self-promo rules, and keep a human in the loop to review and post. This markets on Reddit the honest way: contribute value, disclose who you are, never astroturf. Distilled from the playbook behind doany.ai's Reddit agent. Triggers on "find reddit opportunities", "reddit marketing", "reddit automation", "reply on reddit for my product", "reddit community engagement", "reddit lead gen", or any ask to turn Reddit threads into genuine, disclosed marketing replies.
