Is the data scraped truly real-time, or is it cached and potentially hours old?
It's real-time. When you call our API, we fetch the data live from the source platform at that moment, we don't serve you cached data. This matters a lot for use cases like trend monitoring, live event tracking, or capturing viral content. You're always seeing the latest public data available.

You can run millions of requests per day and we handle the rest.
Can I scrape historical data, like all posts over the past year or old comments?
Yes, for most platforms and endpoint types you can paginate through historical data going back months or years. The depth of historical access varies by platform and endpoint, some platforms limit how far back you can go on certain data types. Check our docs for specifics per endpoint, or reach out to us and we can tell you exactly what's possible for your use case before you commit.
