Congrats on the launch, Luke. this is painfully real - the maintenance tax on multi-platform is the whole game.
Two things I'd genuinely want to know before wiring this into an agent:
-When a platform flips (TikTok especially), does the API return a typed error / degraded flag so the caller can tell "no results" from "scraper down"? For anything automated that distinction matters more than raw uptime.
- On the YouTube transcript endpoint - is that pulled live per call or cached, and rough p95 when the platform's being slow?
Either way, nailing one consistent response shape across 20+ platforms is the hard part and clearly what you obsessed over. Nice work.
How do you handle rate limits or sudden platform changes on something like TikTok that tends to break scrapers pretty fast?
how does it actually stay ahead of platform changes, like when tiktok or instagram tweaks their anti scraping stuff? does the team push updates automatically or do users get throttled until something breaks?
Dropped an upvote. Huge congrats for launch @lukem121qq for the LinkedIn source, are you able to fetch company page posts/comments or is it strictly limited to public personal profiles?
@lukem121 Clean idea. How do you handle API changes from social platforms without breaking integration?
How does the credit pricing actually work for something like pulling a few thousand TikTok profiles plus their recent posts in one batch, does it scale linearly or are there bulk discounts baked in?
How does the pay-as-you-go pricing actually work for high-volume jobs like pulling thousands of TikTok videos per day, do credits roll over or expire each month?
