<!-- generated:sample -->
<!-- /generated:sample -->Note: no captured sample output is committed yet. The response shape shown below is taken from the OpenAPI spec — it is not a recorded call. Run
SCRAPERSOCIAL_KEY=... node tools/capture.mjsto record real output and regenerate.
Every response uses the same envelope:
{
"data": {},
"meta": { "count": 20, "next_cursor": "..." },
"request_id": "a18e4ef88ad4b00b"
}
data is an object for single-entity endpoints and an array for paginated ones. meta appears on paginated responses only. Keep request_id — it is how support traces a call.
Errors follow the same discipline:
{
"error": {
"code": "invalid_url",
"message": "...",
"hint": "...",
"request_id": "..."
}
}
Failed calls are not charged.
Works with
These are plain Node scripts with a documented contract, so anything that can run a command can use them.
- Claude Code / Claude Skills — install with
npx skills add nikhonit/social-media-api-skills - ChatGPT — expose a script as a function or run it in a code interpreter step
- Cursor, Cline, Windsurf — drop the repo in and let the agent read
SKILL.md - Any agent loop — call the scripts as subprocesses and parse stdout
Zero install: the hosted MCP server
If you would rather not vendor anything, ScraperSocial runs a hosted MCP server that reaches the same endpoints:
Claude.ai: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → https://mcp.scrapersocial.com (OAuth, no key to paste). Full per-client instructions, including Windsurf, Gemini CLI and ChatGPT, are at https://scrapersocial.com/mcp/.
claude mcp add --transport http scrapersocial https://mcp.scrapersocial.com
{
"mcpServers": {
"scrapersocial": {
"url": "https://mcp.scrapersocial.com",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer sk_live_..." }
}
}
}
It exposes 14 tools — twelve capability tools (get_transcript, get_summary, get_post_stats, get_comments, get_comment_replies, get_profile, get_channel_posts, search, search_hashtag, get_reviews, download_media, get_trending) plus list_endpoints and call_endpoint, which between them reach the entire surface. Auth is OAuth 2.1 PKCE or a bearer key.
Use the skills in this repo when you want per-platform guidance, argument validation, and control over exactly which endpoint runs. Use the MCP server when you want nothing installed.
