Social Media Posts API

Returns recent social posts and engagement data for a profile URL on a supported social media site. The request is queued and returns a request_id (status processing, or pending when a callback_url is supplied); poll the status endpoint or wait for the callback.

Overview

The Social Newsfeed API pulls recent public posts from a person's resolved social profiles for monitoring, personalization, and context-aware outreach.

Best for

  • Monitoring recent public activity
  • Adding timely context to outreach
  • Powering social intelligence workflows

Returns

  • Recent post records
  • Source profile context
  • Post metadata and URLs

Parameters

social_media_url string required
Profile URL on a supported social media site. Required.
limit integer optional
Number of posts to return. Default 10, must be 1-1000.
posts_after string optional
Only return posts on/after this date. Must be YYYY-MM-DD. Posts without a parseable date are always included.
callback_url string optional
If set, the completed result is POSTed here when the job finishes. Must be a valid HTTP(S) URL on an allowed host when a callback allow-list is configured.

Retrieving the result

This endpoint is asynchronous. A successful submit returns a request_id while the job runs in the background. Poll the same path with a GET request - same authentication headers - passing the request_id and any endpoint-specific page values shown below as query parameters:

Each poll returns the job's current status; once it is completed the payload carries the result shown under Responses. Polling an unknown or expired request_id returns 404 request_not_found.

Status Meaning
queued · processing · pending The job is still running - keep polling.
completed The job finished; the payload carries the result and completed: true.
failed Terminal - the job could not complete; the error field explains why.

Poll every few seconds at first, backing off for long-running jobs. Polling is free - status checks never burn credits.

Prefer push delivery?
Supply the optional callback_url parameter and the completed payload is POSTed to your endpoint when the job finishes - no polling required. Delivery is retried up to 5 times with exponential backoff (1s, 5s, 15s, 1m, 5m) and a 30-second timeout per attempt; respond with a 2xx status to acknowledge receipt.

Credit usage

Credits are charged based on the matched configuration. The listed cost is the per-result unit price.

Feature Credits Notes
Newsfeed 2 2 credits per 10 posts returned, rounded up (e.g. 1-10 → 2, 11-20 → 4, up to ~200)
No posts 0 Credits scale with posts actually returned, not requested
Heads up
Empty results do not burn credits.
