We run the infrastructure so you don't have to. Residential proxies, browser fingerprinting, retry logic — handled.
Every request routed through rotating residential IPs. No blocks, no CAPTCHAs, no detection. We rotate automatically on failures.
Smart Redis layer returns repeat queries in milliseconds. Profiles cached 1hr, posts 15min. Always-fresh data without redundant scrapes.
One API key in the header. Credit-based usage tracking. Per-key rate limits. No OAuth flows, no session management.
Every response validated against Zod schemas. Consistent field names across platforms. TypeScript types available for every endpoint.
Exponential backoff, circuit breakers, and automatic proxy rotation. 3 worker replicas ensure your request always gets through.
Backed by Creator Lookup's indexed database of 400M+ social profiles. Enriched data available for known creators.
