Social Media API for AI Agents

Social media API for AI agents. MCP included. TikTok & Instagram supported.

In plain English

TikTok and Instagram can be reached by AI helpers through Creator Crawl, which includes a built-in way for those helpers to connect and ask for social data. People who build with AI pay because getting that social data into a helper is otherwise a large chore. The AI does most of the fetching, and billing is handled too. Simon Balfe, who runs it, still checks quality, helps users, markets it, and handles unusual cases.

Risks

  • Platform dependency on upstream models/tools.
  • Support burden from technical users.
  • Startup cost and time to first dollar are not disclosed.

*Income figures are illustrative ranges based on public pricing and typical outcomes reported by practitioners, not guarantees. Most new online businesses earn little or nothing at first. Not financial, legal or tax advice.
