Social Media Data API for Builders and AI Agents
One API key for dozens of social platforms, plus an ask-AI layer that answers from live social data.
In plain English
SocialCrawl sells a single key that lets software pull posts and profiles from many social sites in one shape. Builders and AI helpers use it when they need fresh public chatter without wiring each site alone. Buyers mostly pay for usage credits. Selene runs the product. The computers do the fetching and billing, while Selene keeps the sources working and helps customers.
