What is Social Media Data Scraping?

Social media platforms have closed their free API tiers or imposed exorbitant pricing, preventing marketing analytics firms, AI researchers, and brand monitors from gathering public market sentiment.

We engineer proxy-rotated headless crawlers that extract public discussions, viral video metrics, comment threads, review scores, and creator follower statistics from Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram without relying on restricted or overpriced official APIs.

Stealth Anti-Detect Browser Fingerprinting

Bypasses aggressive login walls and rate limits using rotating residential IPs.

Nested Comment Thread & Media Extraction

Recursively extracts entire conversation trees, timestamps, and media URLs.

Sentiment & Engagement Metric Structuring

Formats view counts, shares, upvotes, and comments into structured JSON/SQL tables.
