SCRAPELY

Setup

Get running, then leave if it is not useful

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. Bluesky (public actor/feed AppView), Telegram public channels, Kick channel VODs, and Twitch Helix (operator env credentials) have native adapters where open. Locked networks (LinkedIn, Meta, TikTok, Rumble HTML, Truth Social) stay on the public web/news index — still not a paid firehose. Every result keeps a source URL. Empty means no public hit, not a complete firehose.

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.

  1. 01

    Create a workspace

    Sign in with Google, X, or email (password at least 8 characters). Creating an account means you agree to the Terms and Privacy Policy — the checkbox on that page is required.

    Sign in

  2. 02

    Search

    Check platforms before the query (64 in the catalog — native APIs/RSS where they exist, public index for locked networks). Operators: AND OR NOT FROM: PLATFORM: LANGUAGE: BEFORE: AFTER: HAS: MIN_ENGAGEMENT:. Filters: match case, whole word, diacritics, language, time window. Guest search works without an account but returns a short list — that cap is results, not platforms.

    Save something

    Open a result, save it, or save the query. That is what makes the workspace worth returning to. Free allows 3 saved searches.

    Watch a query

    Turn a query into a monitor. New matches show up as events in the workspace. Free includes one active monitor. Outbound webhooks are not sending yet.

    API (optional, Pro+)

    There is one public HTTP API for every platform: GET /api/v1/search. Filter with PLATFORM: or &platform=. There is no per-network API. Create the key in Settings. It is shown once.

    Leave anytime

    Billing has cancel-at-period-end and drop-to-Free-now. The footer Unsubscribe link opts an email out of mail. Settings can delete the account.

  • These legal pages are complete enough to ship, not a substitute for a lawyer.
  • Put a real legal entity, address, and notice email into the policies before taking card payments.
  • Connect a licensed data source before implying results are live posts.
  • Connect a payment processor before implying a charge occurred.
  • No terms can make you immune from fraud, gross negligence, or rights a statute will not let a user waive.
