Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built API Direct because I was tired of dealing with fragmented social media APIs - different auth methods, different response formats, different pricing models - just to pull posts from a few platforms. API Direct gives you one standardised API to search real-time data across LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, and forums. Same request pattern, same response structure, pay as you go. How it works: → Sign up, get a bearer token → Hit any endpoint with a keyword query → Get back a clean, consistent JSON response (title, url, date, author, snippet) What makes it different: → Pay-per-request starting at $0.003 - no monthly subscriptions → 50 free requests per endpoint every month, no credit card needed → Built-in spending caps so you're never surprised by a bill → Sub-second response times I designed this for developers building social listening tools, brand monitoring dashboards, market research workflows, or AI agents that need real-time social data without the overhead. Would love your feedback! - what platforms or features would you want to see next?
