What's shipping
at Scrape Creators.

Instagram story highlights are working again

Instagram changed its API and no longer lets us paginate highlights without signing in, so we can now return up to 10 highlights per profile. IDs, titles, cropped cover images and owner info are still available. The full-size cover_media.thumbnail_src field is null. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/instagram/user/highlights

YouTube video details include description cards, AI disclosures and channel identities

Video now includes descriptionCards for music, games, people and podcasts, with available music credits; isMadeWithAI and aiDisclosure for YouTube's disclosure; and separate ownerByline and uploader fields. The existing channel object stays unchanged. This reads YouTube's labels, not an independent AI detector. Unknown metadata is null; verified no-card descriptions return an empty array. No extra lookup or credit charge. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/youtube/video

LinkedIn inline comments include dates, IDs and reactions

Post and Search Posts add datePublished, publishedTimeAgo, urn, id and reactionCount to the existing public comment preview. Unavailable values are null, and real zero reactions stay zero. This is still a preview, not every comment or a new pagination endpoint. No extra request or credit charge. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/linkedin/post and https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/linkedin/search/posts

Instagram hashtag search returns photos and carousels again

Fixed all-media hashtag discovery returning only Reels. Image and carousel results use /p/ links; videos keep /reel/ links. Existing media_type selectors, date filters and pagination stay unchanged. Search remains index-based, so not every page will contain every media type. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/instagram/search/hashtag

Instagram Profile can recover some country-dependent age restrictions

When Instagram explicitly reports an age restriction, Profile retries from another country and returns the matching public profile if available there. This is not a guarantee that every age-gated profile can be retrieved. Unrecovered restrictions keep the existing uncharged response; recovered profiles cost the normal one credit. The request deadline and response shape stay unchanged. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/instagram/profile

More reliable Instagram user Reels requests

Updated connection routing for User Reels, including continuation requests, to use the working Instagram connection pool on every attempt. Response fields, pagination, timeouts and credit costs stay unchanged. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/instagram/user/reels

TikTok LIVE keeps valid room data when likes are unavailable

Reserved time for the likes lookup and added a fallback when TikTok refuses room entry. If no verified count is available, Live returns HTTP 200 with like_count=null instead of failing the whole request. Available room fields stay intact, and a successful response still costs one credit. Confirmed room restrictions and metadata failures remain errors; missing likes are never replaced with a guessed zero. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/tiktok/live

TikTok user LIVE lookup handles mixed-case names and restricted rooms

Fixed mixed-case handles producing false offline results. Explicitly restricted rooms return the existing uncharged HTTP 403 instead of a billable offline result. Normal live and ended-room responses keep their existing fields and billing. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/tiktok/user/live

YouTube newest-comment sorting works with the current sort label

Fixed order=newest silently falling back to YouTube's default order after its sort label changed. Both the old and current labels are supported, with the existing continuation flow and response fields. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/youtube/video/comments

Facebook Ad Library search gives slower responses time to finish

Adjusted first-page search timeouts and reduced retries so a valid ad response is not discarded while its body is still arriving. Search pagination, Company Ads, response fields and billing stay unchanged. This does not resolve separate upstream connection or rate-limit failures. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/facebook/adLibrary/search/ads

YouTube comment timestamps are documented as estimates

Clarified that publishedTime is a best-effort ISO value derived from YouTube's relative public label, not an exact source timestamp. This is a documentation correction, not a response change. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/youtube/video/comments

Removed an unsupported YouTube Channel Videos filter from the docs

Channel Videos does not support is_paid_promotions, so we removed it from the documented inputs. Use Video's isPaidPromotion field to check an individual video, or is_paid_promotions=true on Search to find declared paid promotions. No backend behavior changed. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/youtube/channel-videos, https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/youtube/video and https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/youtube/search

Instagram Profile docs no longer promise pinned-post metadata

Removed unsupported pinned_for_users examples and clarified that returned post order does not reliably identify pinned posts. No replacement pin-detection field or backend change is included. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/instagram/profile

New TikTok competitor analysis tools guide

Published a buyer guide comparing tools for manual profile checks, recurring reports, TikTok research, scheduled datasets and custom trackers, including their coverage and billing limits. Read it: https://scrapecreators.com/blog/tiktok-competitor-analysis-tools

Removed an unavailable LinkedIn link from the website footer

Removed the company-page link that led to LinkedIn's Page not found screen. Other footer links stay unchanged.

GitHub device-flow signup is working again

Restored GitHub signup through the device authorization flow. The end-to-end check completed authorization, token exchange and account creation.

Runtime maintenance across the app, website and supporting services

Updated pinned Node.js runtime versions for the app, website, docs, MCP server, internal dashboard, usage-log worker, monitoring jobs and credit-notification/top-up jobs. These are runtime configuration updates, not API response or pricing changes.

YouTube video lists return original-language titles and descriptions

Channel Videos now prefers the original title and description when YouTube provides them, instead of translated English text. No extra API call is needed. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/youtube/channel-videos

Facebook profile posts include link previews

Link shares can now include link_attachment with the external URL, title, description, source and preview image URL. The Facebook story URL and existing photo fields stay unchanged. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/facebook/profile/posts

Facebook mixed photo/video posts include video details

Profile Posts now detects videos inside mixed photo/video posts and returns their available permalink, playable video URLs, thumbnail and view count. Existing photos and the original post ID and story URL are preserved. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/facebook/profile/posts

Find the original post behind a Facebook share

Facebook Post and Group Posts include shared_post_id and shared_post_url when Facebook exposes the post being shared. Both are null when unavailable. Existing post IDs, URLs and media stay unchanged. Pass shared_post_url to the Post endpoint to fetch the original's available photos or videos. No new parameter or extra charge for the reference. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/facebook/post and https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/facebook/group/posts

Instagram and TikTok transcripts include timestamps

Transcript responses include transcript_with_timestamp, an array of start, end and text segments. Times are in seconds from the start of each video. Instagram returns it on each transcripts item; TikTok returns it beside transcript. Existing text, parameters and credit costs stay the same. AI uses one request per video for both forms. AI timings are approximate, and the new field is null when unavailable. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v2/instagram/media/transcript and https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/tiktok/video/transcript

Facebook posts and Reels include paid-partnership status

Facebook Post, Profile Posts, Profile Reels, Group Posts, and Video Search include is_paid_partnership on each returned post or video. It is true when Facebook supplies a paid-partnership label or an explicit paid branded-content relationship, and null when unknown. A missing disclosure does not mean a post is unsponsored. No new parameter or extra credit charge; existing fields and pagination stay unchanged. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/facebook/post, https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/facebook/profile/posts, https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/facebook/profile/reels, https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/facebook/group/posts and https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/facebook/search/videos

Facebook comments now include images, GIFs and videos

Comments and Comment Replies now include an attachments array with media type, ID, URL, preview_url, width and height when Facebook returns them. GIF URLs point to the animation, not just a preview. Text-only comments have an empty array. No new parameter or extra credit charge; existing comment fields and pagination stay unchanged. Media URLs can expire. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/facebook/post/comments and https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/facebook/post/comment/replies

We changed profile error responses without announcing it

This notice records Instagram response changes shipped October 12–15 and the deliberate success-flag correction described below. Some integrations broke because they relied on the previous statuses and messages. We should have announced those changes before shipping. Sorry. Apart from the success flag, the current status codes, fields, exact error/message values, and credit behavior stay unchanged. We will not silently change this contract again.

Confirmed profile states return success=true, including HTTP 403/404

A completed lookup that confirms an unavailable, restricted, or age-gated profile is a successful determination. On /v1/instagram/profile, /v1/instagram/user/posts, and /v2/instagram/user/posts, these explicit 403/404 responses now use success=true instead of the success=false introduced by the resource-state paths. Only that boolean changes. HTTP status, error/errorStatus, exact message, field presence, and zero-credit billing stay unchanged. Actual scraping failures still return success=false. The older HTTP-200 placeholder conventions are unchanged. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/instagram/profile

Age-gated profiles: HTTP 200 restricted placeholder to HTTP 403

Some restricted-profile requests previously returned HTTP 200 with success=true, error=not_found, errorStatus=404, and message=Profile is restricted; other age-gated requests failed with HTTP 500. When Instagram explicitly confirms an age gate, /v1/instagram/profile now returns HTTP 403, success=true, error=forbidden, errorStatus=403, message=Profile is age restricted, age_restricted=true, and credits_charged=0. This applies to GET, trimmed GET, and POST handle requests. The flag is not a country/region reason code. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/instagram/profile

Unavailable profiles: a separate uncharged HTTP 404

An unavailable profile could previously fall through to an HTTP-200 success=true Account doesn't exist placeholder or a generic HTTP 500. Confirmed Instagram unavailable pages now return HTTP 404, success=true, error=not_found, errorStatus=404, message=Profile is unavailable on Instagram, and credits_charged=0. This is not a global rename: the older missing-account placeholder still exists. Unavailable does not prove deletion. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/instagram/profile

Other confirmed profile restrictions: HTTP 500 to HTTP 404

An explicitly rendered generic audience restriction that previously reached a retryable HTTP 500 now returns HTTP 404, success=true, error=not_found, errorStatus=404, message=Profile is restricted, and credits_charged=0. This response has no age_restricted flag or reliable age-versus-region reason field. The separate legacy HTTP-200 restricted handler is retained; it was not globally converted to a 404. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/instagram/profile

User-post endpoints have their own error bodies

/v1/instagram/user/posts and /v2/instagram/user/posts previously treated confirmed age/restricted/unavailable errors as HTTP 500. They now return uncharged 403/forbidden/Profile is age restricted, 404/not_found/Profile is private, or 404/not_found/Profile is unavailable on Instagram respectively. Their age-gate errors do not include age_restricted, handle, or userId. This does not change /v1/instagram/post or /v1/tiktok/profile. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v2/instagram/user/posts

Legacy profile placeholders are separate and still cost one credit

The retained /v1/instagram/profile handler placeholders for Profile is private, Profile is restricted, and Account doesn't exist use HTTP 200 with JSON errorStatus=404 and cost one credit. GET uses success=true; POST handle placeholders use success=false. They are not the explicit uncharged 403/404 responses above. The current metadata-first pipeline no longer infers restriction from an empty timeline alone: it preserves useful matching metadata as a partial HTTP 200. Exact examples: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/instagram/profile

Public profile metadata for private Instagram profiles

/v1/instagram/profile now returns available public profile metadata for private profiles in the existing data.user shape: ID, username, name, bio/links, website, profile photos, verification, business/category details, public contacts when Instagram returns them, and counts. Full GET and POST handle requests use the existing public-profile mapper; GET trim=true keeps the existing public trim fields. POST still ignores trim. Unknown or unusable follower/following counts are null; real 0 stays 0. No private posts, raw Instagram internals, guaranteed contact details, or age-gate bypass. HTTP 200, userId=null, GET success=true/POST success=false, existing error/message fields, and the one-credit charge stay unchanged. Age-restricted responses are unchanged. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/instagram/profile

Need profile details without posts? Use Basic Profile for speed

Basic Profile returns creator metadata without posts and is usually faster when you already have the numeric userId. After recent Instagram changes, the regular Profile endpoint needs several requests to Instagram to fetch creator metadata and posts, so it can be slower. Response times can vary. Basic Profile: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/instagram/basic-profile — Profile: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/instagram/profile

More LinkedIn ad media download options

Ad Details and Search Ads now include imageSources, videoSources, thumbnailSources, and separate preRollVideoSources. Video entries include the URL, MIME type, and bitrate so you can choose a lower-bitrate download. Existing media fields stay unchanged. We return the URLs LinkedIn supplies, including document-cover previews; multiple image or thumbnail sizes are not guaranteed. No extra parameter or credit charge. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/linkedin/ad and https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/linkedin/ads/search

Consistent LinkedIn ad search response fields

Search results keep the same field set when an individual ad's detail request is blocked or times out, with null or empty defaults for unavailable values. Available search-card thumbnails and document-cover previews are retained. adDuration is the ad's availability date range, not video playback length, and remains empty when LinkedIn does not publish it. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/linkedin/ads/search

Empty TikTok comments pages are now free

The TikTok Comments endpoint now costs 0 credits when a page returns no comments. Pages with comments still cost 1 credit. This applies to first pages, later pages, and trim=true responses. Replaying a terminal null cursor is also free. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/tiktok/video/comments

TikTok captions preserve their line breaks

The desc field on TikTok Video and Profile Videos now preserves the original caption lines when TikTok provides structured description data, including with trim=true. If that data is unavailable, the existing caption is returned unchanged. This affects post descriptions, not speech transcripts. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v2/tiktok/video and https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v3/tiktok/profile/videos

Find Creator Emails costs less when no emails are found

Successful live lookups now cost 1 credit when no emails are found, or 10 credits when any emails are found. Cache hits remain free when you use cache_max_age. Failed requests cost 0 credits. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/find-creator-emails

New Find Creator Emails endpoint

Enter a creator's platform and handle to find publicly listed email addresses across their profiles, linked bio pages, and websites. Supports Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X/Twitter, and Facebook. Successful live lookups cost 10 credits, including empty results. Cache hits cost 0 credits when you use cache_max_age. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/find-creator-emails

Opt into AI transcription for longer videos

Default AI transcription still costs 1 credit per successful request and supports videos up to 2 minutes. Set allow_long_transcription=true on supported endpoints to lift the AI duration limit and pay 10 credits per started minute of the full transcript, even for shorter videos when the flag is set. Native-caption pricing is unchanged. Empty or failed AI transcripts have no AI fee. On detail endpoints, paid AI adds to the existing base fee. Longer videos can still hit timeouts or resource limits. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v2/instagram/media/transcript

Set credit limits for individual API keys

Team owners can now set an optional credit limit for each API key, see how many credits it has used and has remaining, and reset or remove the limit at any time. Existing keys stay unlimited unless you add a limit. When a key reaches its limit, it stops using more credits from the shared team balance.

New Find Social Profiles endpoint

Enter a creator's handle from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X/Twitter, or Facebook and get their social profiles across the supported platforms. Live lookups cost 10 credits, and cached results cost 0 credits when you use cache_max_age. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/find-social-profiles

Public Telegram channel and post APIs are here

We added three Telegram endpoints for public channels and groups: get channel details, page through public channel posts, and get one public post by URL. They work without a logged-in Telegram account. Private and invite-only channels and groups are not supported. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/telegram/channel, https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/telegram/channel/posts, and https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/telegram/post

Instagram search endpoints no longer include view counts

Instagram changed the public data available to search results, so /v2/instagram/reels/search and /v1/instagram/search/hashtag no longer include video_view_count or video_play_count. To get the current view counts for a reel, call /v1/instagram/post with the reel URL. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/instagram/post

New Instagram popular search endpoint

Search Instagram's public Popular pages by topic to get the generated description and sources, suggested terms, numeric media count, and paginated posts. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/instagram/search/popular

Native Instagram search is here

You can now search Instagram's public native search for users, hashtags, places, and keyword suggestions with one query. This uses Instagram's own search results instead of Google-indexed discovery. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/instagram/search

Instagram comment replies are here

You can now get public replies to Instagram comments. Use include_replies=true on the Instagram Comments endpoint to include replies for every returned comment, or use the new Comment Replies endpoint for one specific parent comment. include_replies=true costs 15 credits even if no replies are returned. It is much slower than a normal comments request and may time out at 29 seconds. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v2/instagram/post/comments and https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/instagram/post/comment/replies

New Instagram user tagged posts endpoint

Get public posts from an Instagram user's Tagged tab using their numeric user ID. Results include flat post objects and cursor pagination. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/instagram/user/tagged-posts

YouTube most replayed heatmaps

The YouTube Video/Short Details endpoint now returns the public Most replayed graph in most_replayed when YouTube exposes it, including normalized graph markers and highlighted replay ranges. If the graph is not visible in the YouTube UI, most_replayed is null. YouTube may withhold it for videos that are too new, have too few views, contain potentially inappropriate content, belong to channels with active strikes, or are otherwise ineligible. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/youtube/video

New Facebook Group Info endpoint

Get the public information from a Facebook group's About page, including its description, privacy and visibility, member and activity counts, categories, public admins and moderators, history, and rules. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/facebook/group

Cached results are free

If we have a response in the cache that is within your cache max age, we return it for 0 credits. Otherwise, we fetch a live result at the endpoint's normal credit cost. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/caching

New Snapchat Spotlight endpoints

We added Snapchat Spotlight endpoints for pulling public Spotlight video data and paginated comments by URL. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/snapchat/spotlight and https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/snapchat/spotlight/comments

TikTok Ad Library search by advertiser name

You can now search the TikTok Ad Library by advertiser name using advertiser_name on the TikTok Ad Library Search endpoint. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/tiktok/ad-library/search

API responses are now saved

We now save API response data so we can debug issues faster, improve reliability, prevent abuse, and support customers better.

Exact Facebook reel and post view counts

The Facebook Post endpoint now returns exact view_count numbers for public Facebook reels and posts when Facebook exposes them. Before this, Facebook often only gave us rounded counts. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/facebook/post

Facebook Profile now includes talking about count

The Facebook Profile endpoint now returns talkingAboutCount when Facebook exposes the page's people talking about this count. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/facebook/profile

New TikTok search suggestions endpoint

You can now get TikTok autocomplete search suggestions for a query. Useful for finding what TikTok suggests while someone is typing in search. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/tiktok/search/suggestions

New TikTok Ad Library endpoints

We added TikTok Creative Center Ad Library endpoints for searching top ads and getting ad details, including video files, graph data, summaries, and recommended ads. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/tiktok/ad-library/search and https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/tiktok/ad-library/ad

YouTube Search can now find paid promotion videos

Add is_paid_promotions=true to YouTube Search to search YouTube videos where the creator declared paid product placement, sponsorship, or endorsement. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/youtube/search

Experimental YouTube video sponsors endpoint

We added an experimental endpoint to return suspected sponsors or promoted brands for a YouTube video using public evidence like description text, links, promo codes, and transcripts. This is inferred, not an official YouTube sponsor field. Feedback welcome: support@scrapecreators.com. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/youtube/video/sponsors

New Instagram audio reels endpoint

You can now get public Instagram reels associated with an audio id. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/instagram/audio/reels

New Spotify search and podcast endpoints

We added Spotify endpoints for search, podcast details, and podcast episodes. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/spotify/search, https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/spotify/podcast, and https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/spotify/podcast/episodes

New Instagram trending reels endpoint

You can now get trending reels from Instagram. It uses Instagram's public reels page, so call it again when you want more and expect some duplicates. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/instagram/reels/trending

Generate a new API key

You can now generate a new API key. You can only have one API key at a time — when you generate a new one, the old key is revoked and will no longer be valid. If your API key was compromised, you can generate a new one to invalidate the old one immediately.

AI transcript limit: videos longer than 2 minutes

If a video is longer than 2 minutes and requires AI to generate the transcript, we will not return a transcript. This does NOT affect endpoints that return existing transcripts (e.g. YouTube). Affected endpoints (AI only): /v1/facebook/adLibrary/ad, /v1/tiktok/video/transcript (when use_ai_as_fallback=true), /v2/instagram/media/transcript, /v1/facebook/post/transcript. For example, /v1/youtube/video/transcript will continue to work normally.

Fully migrated to AWS Lambda

We've fully migrated to AWS Lambda for better scaling. This should eliminate the 503 and 502 errors you may have experienced. Note: If you notice requests ending at 29 seconds, that's because 29 seconds is the maximum timeout AWS Lambda allows.

TikTok Product Reviews

New endpoint to get TikTok product reviews — super fast and returns 100 at a time. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/tiktok/shop/product/reviews

LinkedIn Company Posts

New endpoint to get LinkedIn company posts. Can retrieve up to 7 pages (LinkedIn limitation). Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/linkedin/company/posts

Facebook Post Comments should be much better and faster

I made some improvements that should improve the /v1/facebook/post/comments endpoint. Also, you can now just pass a feedback_id, which speeds up the request significantly. If you pass a url, under the hood I am fetching that post's feedback_id, so its significantly slower to do it that way.

Small Updates to YouTube Search

The this_hour option is no longer available for the uploadDate parameter. You can now use sortBy=popular 🎉 (along with relevance)

YouTube Transcripts

Now to get youtube transcripts, you need to use the dedicated endpoint: v1/youtube/video/transcript. Previously you could pass get_transcript=true to /v1/youtube/video to get the transcript, but with YouTube's recent changes, its much better for us to use the dedicated endpoint. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Facebook Ad Library Search supports sort_by

Facebook Ad Library Search now supports sort_by. So you can now sort by Impressions or Most Recent.

Disabled Sign Up/Login with email/password

I disabled Sign Up/Login with email/password because of abuse. Will try to add it back.

New v2 Instagram Search Reels & Post Comments endpoints

New v2 versions of the Instagram Search Reels and Post Comments endpoints are now available. These endpoints require manual pagination. The previous versions are being phased out due to high server load and stability issues. See docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v2/instagram/reels/search and https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v2/instagram/post/comments

I removed some convenience endpoints from the documentation (endpoints that did the paginating for you). They still work, but I didn't want new people using them. They will be deprecated on February 1st, 2026.

New Endpoint to get a Facebook Page's Reels

You can now get a Facebook page's reels! It gets 10 reels at a time, unlike the /v1/facebook/profile/posts endpoint which only gets 3 posts at a time. Get view counts also. Need to use 'next_page_id' and 'cursor' to paginate. Check out the docs for more info: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/facebook/profile/reels

Can now just pass a URL to /v1/facebook/adLibrary/ad

You can now just pass a URL to /v1/facebook/adLibrary/ad to get the ad details. Can pass id if you want also, but I figured I'd make it easy for you to just pass the URL.

Can now filter by start_date, end_date and language for /v1/facebook/adLibrary/company/ads

You can now filter by start_date, end_date and language for /v1/facebook/adLibrary/company/ads. Just add start_date, end_date and language to the query params. Check out the docs for more info: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/facebook/adLibrary/company/ads

Sort TikTok's by Most Popular

You can now sort a user's TikToks by Popular. Just add sort_by=popular to /tiktok/profile/videos or /tiktok/profile-videos endpoints!

Instagram Reels Search

By popular demand, there's finally an endpoint for Instagram Reels search: /v1/instagram/reels/search. Costs 1 credit per 10 reels returned, capped at 60 reels per request. It's a bit heavy since it scrapes search results and each post individually — so expect slightly longer processing times.

Credits in Responses

Most routes now include credits_remaining in the response — so you can easily see how many credits you've got left after each call.

Unified Facebook Post Endpoint

There's now one unified endpoint for Facebook posts: /v1/facebook/post. It replaces the old 'FB posts' and 'FB reels' endpoints — so make sure to migrate your requests over.

Facebook Business Hours

You can now get business hours for Facebook profiles! Just pass get_business_hours=true to: /v1/facebook/profile

Amazon Shop Endpoint

You can now scrape a creator's Amazon shop! For example: https://www.amazon.com/shop/sydneydelrey. Docs: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/amazon/shop

TikTok removed region from /tiktok/profile

TikTok is being lame and remove the region parameter from /tiktok/profile. One workaround could be to use the /tiktok/user/followers or /tiktok/user/following endpoints to get the region from someone who the user follows, because region is still available there.

TikTok Shop Product Details Endpoint is Live!

You can now scrape TikTok shop products! You can get exact stock counts! Check out the docs for more info: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/tiktok/product. More TikTok Shop endpoints coming soon!

Video and Carousel Images added to /linkedin/ads/search

You can now get the video and carousel images for LinkedIn ads. Previously, you could only get the image.

Can now get like + comment count and description for /youtube/channel-videos + /youtube/search

MANY people have asked for this, I'm finally implementing it. Just add a `includeExtras=true` to the request to get the like + comment count and description for /youtube/channel-videos. Will also be adding this to /youtube/search soon.

Linktree Endpoint

You can now scrape a Linktree profile! Check out the docs for more info: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/linktree

New Instagram Comments API endpoint

You can now scrape Instagram comments! Check out the docs for more info: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/instagram/post/comments/simple

Google Search and Ads API Improvements

Google changed their API and as a result, you could not get the copy of text ads anymore. But getting the copy is back up! I am using an OCR to get the text from the ad. It might be a little inaccurate. Email me if you have any issues: support@scrapecreators.com. Also for Google Search, you can now see the results in any country by passing a region parameter. Like region=US, region=UK, etc.

Truth Social Webhook to get real-time alerts of Trump's posts

You can now get real-time alerts of Trump's posts! Use the Truth Social Webhook: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/truthsocial/webhook

Trimmed Responses

On most endpoints, now you can pass trim=true to trim the response to a much more manageable response

n8n Community Node

If you self host n8n, you can now easily install Scrape Creators as a community node. Search for the name n8n-nodes-scrape-creators. Trying to get it approved to make it availabe for cloud n8n users also. NPM package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/n8n-nodes-scrape-creators

Tiktok backup

To ensure as little downtime as possible, added a backup for TikTok. The response strucuture should be mostly the same, but it is a little different. I will put the backup response in the docs shortly.

Keywords array on Youtube Video Details endpoint

There is now a keywords array that gets returned on /v1/youtube/video. Many videos don't have keywords and we just return an empty array in that case.

Added EU Transparency Data for Facebook Ad's

Now you can see the EU Transparency Data for Facebook Ad's. This is a new feature that was added to the Facebook Ad Details endpoint.

Now shorts will only be in the shorts array in youtube search

Now, you can be sure that only shorts will be in the shorts array in youtube search. Previously shorts were in the videos array. And lives are in their own array now in the youtube search results.

Dedicated endpoint to get Facebook Transcripts

Pass a URL to /v1/facebook/post/transcript to get the transcript for a Facebook post. Pass a post or reel url.

New LinkedIn Post endpoint

You can now scrape a public Linkedin post! Works for articles and posts, and you can get the transcript! I might separate the article and post endpoints in the future. Let me know what you think: support@scrapecreators.com

Google Search API

You can now scrape Google search results! Hoping it helps you find creators, and whatever else you need.

New LinkedIn Profile endpoint

You can now fetch a LinkedIn profile page! Unfortunately you can't get job title or work history though :( Linkedin is lame and now hides that publicly. Check out the docs for more info.

Speed improvement for Truth Social API

Now can pass a user_id to get posts for a user (107780257626128497 is Trumps id), which will increase response times. Made some other improvements that should improve speed.

New Pinterest Search API endpoint

You can now search Pinterest! Check out the docs for more info.

New Instagram Highlights API endpoint

You can now fetch Instagram stories highlights! Check out the docs for more info.

Pinterest Profile API
