Use tool ↗About KeyAPI
KeyAPI sells structured social and commerce data behind a single REST key. You point it at a TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Reddit or Amazon target and it returns profiles, posts, comments, transcripts, analytics and product records, so you are not maintaining a scraper per network. The docs are written agent-first: the vendor pushes MCP and LLM tool-calling as the main way in. Billing is monthly credit buckets, and the entry point is high — the free tier is 100 credits that expire in three days, and the cheapest real plan is $189 a month. Quarterly and yearly cycles exist, plus a volume-priced enterprise tier. No legal entity or country is named anywhere on the site.

Pros & cons of KeyAPI
If you need TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn and Amazon data from one contract instead of four scraper vendors, KeyAPI covers a wide surface and documents each endpoint for agent use. The catch is the price floor: $189 a month before you have shipped anything, and a free tier too small and too short to evaluate properly.
Pros
- Single key across 20+ platforms including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Reddit and Amazon
- Endpoints cover comments, transcripts and Amazon ASIN/GTIN lookups, not just profile scraping
- Documented for MCP and LLM tool calling
- Quarterly and yearly billing available alongside monthly
Cons
- Cheapest usable plan is $189/month
- Free tier is 100 credits that expire in three days
- No company name, address or country published anywhere on the site
- Credit cost per endpoint is not obvious before you sign up
Best for
- Teams pulling data from several social networks at once
- Agent builders who want data tools over MCP
- Replacing a pile of in-house scrapers
Not for
- Side projects and one-off research
- Anyone needing an audit trail on who the vendor is
Watch out: Nothing on the site identifies who operates it, which matters when the product is bulk collection of third-party platform data.
