What's great
jsonscraper solves a real problem: accessing TikTok and Instagram data at scale without insane costs or unstable scraping setups. The API is fast, responses are consistent, and it actually works reliably in production — which is rare in this space. Pricing is also a big win, especially for high-volume use cases. Great fit for analytics, automation, and internal tools.
What needs improvement
Would love to see more platform coverage and additional endpoints over time (e.g. deeper analytics or cross-platform insights). Also, more detailed docs and examples for edge cases would be helpful for faster onboarding.
vs Alternatives
Apify
RapidAPII looked at alternatives like Apify and RapidAPI-based solutions, but they quickly become expensive at scale and often come with platform fees or inconsistent performance. jsonscraper stands out with predictable pricing, higher request limits, and a more stable infrastructure. Much easier to build on top of.
