Social media data API, MCP server and Chrome extension. Public data from 25 platforms, one account, one credit balance.
InsightSocial collects public data from Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Threads, YouTube, Reddit, Pinterest, Bluesky, Telegram, Twitch and 13 more platforms, and hands it to you as rows: posts, comments, profiles, followers and contact details. There are two ways in. A REST API and a hosted MCP server return that data to your scripts and AI agents, across all 25 platforms. A Chrome extension scrapes the pages you are already looking at, with no code, on 9 of them. Both draw on the same credit balance.

300+ GET endpoints over 25 platforms. Every call uses the same x-api-key header and returns the same JSON envelope, so switching platforms means changing one path segment.

-H "x-api-key: $INSIGHTSOCIAL_API_KEY"- Priced per endpoint. A profile lookup costs 10 credits. Metered endpoints, such as paginated comments, hold a ceiling and charge only what the call used.

credits_usedandcredits_remaining. - Free catalogue.
GET https://api.insightsocial.app/v1/endpointslists every path, parameter and price. It needs no key, so an agent can plan a job and price it before it spends anything.
