The data layer for social

Publishing and scheduling tools push content out. Captapi is the read side — it pulls clean, structured data back in. Drop it in next to your scheduler, social CRM, analytics dashboard, or AI agent. No OAuth, no per-platform SDKs.

Cross-platform analytics

One endpoint, one shape. Pass any YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook URL and get the same normalized metrics back — views, likes, comments, shares, and engagement rate.

Deep content data

Transcripts, comments, profiles, and search — the rich, read-side data that publishing tools don't give you, delivered as clean JSON.

Fits your stack

Plain REST plus an MCP server, n8n node, Make app, and Apify actor — wire Captapi into whatever you already use to post, schedule, or automate.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

A focused toolkit for builders.

AI Summaries

GPT-4o-mini powered video summaries with key points, topics, and sentiment.

Sub-second Cache

24h shared cache. Repeat requests are instant and free.

Developer-First

Plain REST. No OAuth. SDKs for Python, Node, and PHP coming soon.

Reliable Scraping

Apify-backed actors with automatic retries and fallback.

Built for serious workloads

From scrappy MVPs to enterprise data pipelines.

AI startups

Feed transcripts straight into your RAG pipeline, fine-tuning dataset, or video Q&A agent.

Marketing & agencies

Researchers & journalists

Frequently asked questions

Do I need OAuth or each platform's API key?+

No. One Captapi key gives you access to all 29 platforms. We handle authentication, proxies, rate limits, and retries for you.

How is this different from the official YouTube/Instagram APIs?+

Official APIs are restrictive (rate limits, OAuth flows, deprecated endpoints, no transcript support for Reels/TikToks). Captapi works on public data with one consistent REST interface — no app review process, no quotas to negotiate.

What counts as a credit?+

Each request consumes 1-6 credits depending on the endpoint (transcript: 2, summarize: 4, video details: 1). Cached results (within 24h) cost 0 credits.

What happens if a video has no captions?+

You'll get a 422 with a clear error message. We don't charge credits for empty results — only for successful data extraction.

Can I cancel anytime?+

Yes. All paid plans are monthly and cancellable with one click in the dashboard. No long-term contracts.

Is this GDPR / TOS compliant?+

Captapi only extracts publicly accessible data and is intended for compliant business use. You are responsible for how you process and store the data within your jurisdiction.

Does Captapi post or schedule content for me?+

No. Captapi is a read-only data API — it extracts transcripts, comments, metadata, search results, profiles, ad intelligence, commerce data, and engagement metrics from public content. It pairs perfectly with publishing and scheduling tools: use them to post, and use Captapi as the data layer that measures and analyzes performance across platforms.

Can I get analytics for any post in one consistent format?+

Yes. The cross-platform analytics endpoint detects the platform from the URL and returns the same normalized metrics object — views, likes, comments, shares, saves, and an engagement rate — so you do not have to special-case each network.
