SocialEavesdrop

Private beta

Public social data, one key, one format.

SocialEavesdrop is an API for developers and marketing teams. It returns public posts, profiles, comments and engagement figures from the major social platforms, along with reviews, app listings and search results, in one consistent format — so the code you write for one platform already works for the next.

Teams use it for brand and campaign monitoring, creator and influencer analytics, market and trend research, and to give AI assistants current public context.

During the beta, accounts are opened by invitation. We email you one when a place opens; nothing else, and your address goes nowhere else.

Pricing

Prepaid credit packs from £15 for 2,500 credits, and 100 free credits to start. No subscription, and credits never expire. See pricing.

Where the data comes from

We don't scrape social platforms or log into them. Each request is answered on demand by established third-party data providers or by the platforms' own official APIs. Only public content comes back: nothing from private accounts, direct messages or anything behind a follow request. Answers are cached briefly to avoid repeat requests, not collected into a database.

Anyone can ask for their content to be excluded, and we honour that across the service. See the public data notice and our acceptable use policy, which forbids monitoring or profiling individual people.
