Social research workspace

Search public posts the way you search a database.

Type a query. Read matching records. Save them. Watch the query. Results come from live public posts across 64 platforms you check — native APIs/RSS where they exist, public index for locked networks.

Platforms to search · 64 of 64

Scrapely searches 64 public platforms you check — social, video, forums, news, reviews, and developer sites. Open sources (Reddit RSS, Hacker News, Wikipedia, GitHub, GitLab, Stack Overflow, Mastodon tags, and others) are fetched natively. YouTube Data API and X (lobstr.io) use keys each signed-in user pastes in Settings — never another account’s keys. Locked networks (LinkedIn, Meta, TikTok, Bluesky without auth) go through the public web/news index, and through SocialCrawl universal search when the operator sets SOCIALCRAWL_API_KEY — still not a paid firehose. Every result keeps a source URL. Empty means no public hit, not a complete firehose.

What a result includes

Author, platform, time, engagement, entities, and a source URL. Save it, add it to an investigation, or run Analyze on the stored records — with citations back to those records, not a chat with no memory.

  • Operators: AND OR NOT FROM: LANGUAGE: BEFORE: AFTER: PLATFORM: HAS: MIN_ENGAGEMENT:. Filters: match case, whole word, diacritics, language.
  • How far back you can read is a plan limit, not a hidden switch.
  • Provenance fields: platform, source id, retrieval time, provider.

Open the original. Provenance is the point.

What you do in it

01

Search

A box on the first screen. Guests get a short live result list from the platforms they check.

02

Inspect

Account pages, entities, timelines, a relationship graph. Weak links are labeled as hypotheses, not identity.

03

Save

Queries, posts, notes stay on the workspace.

04

Monitor

Re-run a query. Events appear in the app. Outbound webhooks are not sending yet.

05

Analyze

Optional, metered, cites stored posts. If the model is down, you get an extractive brief.

06

Leave

Unsubscribe is in the footer. Cancel is on Billing. No maze.

Who it is for

Marketers

Brand mentions and campaign leftovers — on records you are allowed to see.

Founders

Complaints and switch-off language in public posts.

Agencies

Shared monitors and named reports. Not a custom white-label domain.

Sales

Public buying language, not a purchased contact list.

Recruiters

Public professional chatter — not an FCRA background check.

Journalists

Timelines and source URLs. Demo records are not publishable facts.

OSINT

Operators and graphs with stated confidence. No private-account access.

Teams

Seats and shared saved work. SSO is not in this version.

Monitoring

A saved query, re-run. Free has one. Events stay in the workspace. We do not claim outbound webhook delivery yet.

Investigations

A named pile of searches, posts, and notes with a stable URL in your workspace.

Evidence briefs

Summaries that must point at stored posts. Credits are metered because model calls cost money.

Paid plans are billed through Stripe. Checkout collects a card; workspace limits update after payment succeeds. Cancel anytime on Billing — keep the period, or drop to Free immediately.

Data and limits, said plainly

Provenance

Platform, source id, source URL, provider, retrieval time. AI must point back.

No bypass

No CAPTCHA breaking, no private accounts, no unofficial scraping as a feature.

Live fetch

Each search hits public surfaces for the 64 platforms you checked. Native APIs/RSS where they exist. Results are labeled with provider and source URL.
