Person APIs

Social Newsfeed

Returns recent social posts and engagement data for a profile URL. The URL must resolve to a supported platform - LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Instagram, GitHub, or Facebook. 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

Pull recent social posts from a person’s resolved profiles.

Parameters

social_media_url string required

Profile URL on a supported site (linkedin / twitter / instagram / github / facebook). 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 as a query parameter:

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
Pre-check	-	Your balance is pre-checked for the worst-case cost before processing begins

Heads up

A positive credit balance is required before each request. Empty results do not burn credits.
