Core Advantages

Comments and captions, included

The real value of video data is the text layer. Full comment threads and captions in one place — no second vendor for sentiment or corpus work.

Consistent fields across platforms

All seven platforms parse into one field structure. Compare, aggregate, store — one schema, one codebase.

What locals see is what you get

Fetch by country; content matches the local user's view. Cross-market comparison without distortion.

Hard targets, handled

TikTok- and Reels-grade anti-bot defenses are covered by the unlocking service. Switching platforms never means switching vendors.

Scales without rebuild

Track 500 videos or 500,000 pages on the same Key. Volume grows, workflow doesn't change, you pay per request.

Data You Can Extract

One video, five layers:

  • Discovery — trending, search results, recommendations: what's being seen
  • Metadata — title, tags, duration, upload date: the basis for trends
  • Engagement — views, likes, comments, shares: direct audience signals
  • Text — full comment threads, captions: raw material for sentiment and corpora
  • Visual — thumbnails, covers: presentation assets for reports

Live scraping — for freshness
