Scrapingdog Use Cases

Yes, we only scrape public data from social media platforms. This means you can collect information that is publicly available, such as public profiles, posts, comments, and videos. However, each platform may have restrictions on what can be accessed, and some platforms, like LinkedIn or Instagram, impose privacy controls that limit access to certain data. Always ensure compliance with the platform’s terms and privacy regulations.

We offer APIs for several major social media platforms, including LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Each API provides access to different types of public data like profiles, posts, and comments.

Yes, you can scrape data from multiple social media platforms simultaneously. Our APIs allow you to collect data across different platforms at the same time, depending on your subscription plan.

Each API request consumes a certain number of credits based on the dedicated API you're using.

For example the Google Search API costs 5 credits per request. So, if you make one request to the Google Search API, it will deduct 5 credits from the available credits in your account. The number of credits required per request can vary depending on the specific API you're using.

You can find more details about the credit usage for each API in the documentation.

If you prefer not to use the API directly, you can contact us, and our dedicated team will extract the data for you. Please note that the pricing will be different and will be based on your specific requirements, as outlined in the pricing section.

No, you only need a single account to use our dedicated scrapers. For example, if you want to use both the Google Scraper API and the LinkedIn Scraper API simultaneously, you can do so with one account.

However, please note that Scrapingdog operates on a credit system, and each dedicated scraper has different credit usage per call request. For more information on the credit system, please refer to the documentation.
