The best ScrapeCreators alternatives in 2026, tested

ScrapeCreators is the pick if you want everything a platform returns. If you want the same few fields from every platform, it's more than you need.

ScrapeCreators is a social media scraping API. One key covers TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Reddit, Threads, Pinterest, Truth Social, and link-in-bio sites, and each endpoint returns what the platform returned.

I sent the same 20 lookups through ScrapeCreators and AnyAPI, from accounts like khaby.lame, natgeo, @MrBeast, and nasa.

The best ScrapeCreators alternatives

• ScrapeCreators for raw platform data with credits that never expire
• AnyAPI for one shape across platforms, per call
• TikHub for Chinese platforms and raw breadth
• EnsembleData for Twitch search
• Data365 for enterprise feed collection

What makes a good ScrapeCreators alternative?

I'm assuming you pull profiles and posts from several social platforms in code, for an analytics product, an agent, or influencer research. Here's what I compared:

• Whether the data came back and agreed: the same accounts through both, compared on follower counts.
• Price per 1,000 lookups on the endpoints you'd call most.
• The shape of the response: the platform's raw data, or the same fields on every platform.
• What you prepay and what expires.

I didn't test comments, search, ad libraries, or speed under load. Twenty lookups a side is enough to compare the data, not enough to rank vendors on reliability.

Here's what each tested lookup costs per 1,000. Most ScrapeCreators endpoints cost one credit, so its price is the pack price on every row:

Lookup	ScrapeCreators $47 pack	ScrapeCreators $497 pack	TikHub	AnyAPI
TikTok profile	$1.88	$0.99	$1.00	$0.45
Instagram profile	$1.88	$0.99	$1.00	$1.00
TikTok videos	$1.88	$0.99	$1.00	$0.70
Instagram posts	$1.88	$0.99	$2.00	$0.80
YouTube channel	$1.88	$0.99	$1.00	$0.50
X profile	$1.88	$0.99	$1.00	$0.22

ScrapeCreators (best for raw platform data with credits that never expire)

ScrapeCreators pros:

• Returned all 20 lookups, with about 240 fields on an Instagram profile and 64 on a TikTok profile
• Credits never expire, there are no rate limits, and cached results are free
• 100 free credits plus up to 7,000 more to claim, with no card

ScrapeCreators cons:

• $1.88 per 1,000 on the $47 pack, and $0.99 only after a $497 purchase
• Each platform's own shape, so four platforms is four parsers
• A failed call is your code's to retry

ScrapeCreators returns each platform's raw data from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Reddit, Threads, Pinterest, and more. It also covers the long tail: link-in-bio pages, Truth Social, Spotify artists, ad libraries, and a TikTok audience demographics endpoint.

If you're not sure yet which fields you'll need, a raw record is the safe place to start. Here's how the 20 lookups came out:

The follower counts agreed: identical on 11 of 16 profiles and within 0.02% on the other five. An Instagram record there carries business contact settings, bio links, and highlight counts, and its homepage claims a 98.2% success rate.

ScrapeCreators pricing: Free 100 credits, up to 7,000 bonus; Freelance $47 for 25,000 credits ($1.88 per 1,000); Business $497 for 500,000 ($0.99 per 1,000); Enterprise custom above 1 million; most endpoints one credit, credits never expire

AnyAPI (best for one shape across platforms, per call)

AnyAPI pros:

• Returned all 20 lookups for $0.012, with follower counts matching ScrapeCreators' to within 0.02%
• The same keys on every platform: handle, displayName, followers, following, bio, verified, avatarUrl
• At least two sources behind every endpoint tested, so a failed source falls through to the next

AnyAPI cons:

• 13 fields on a TikTok profile and 15 on an Instagram profile, against ScrapeCreators' 64 and about 240
• Some social endpoints cost more per call than a ScrapeCreators credit on the Business pack

AnyAPI returns profiles and posts with the same fields on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and X, and the same key covers Google search, Maps, Amazon, LinkedIn search, and any web page.

Paying per request, the common social lookups cost less than a credit on ScrapeCreators' Business pack, without buying anything up front. A TikTok profile is $0.45 per 1,000, an X profile $0.22, and a YouTube channel $0.50.

An Instagram profile, at $1.00, costs about the same as on the Business pack.

You get fewer fields, and the same ones everywhere, so one function parses a profile from four platforms. If you need the raw object, it isn't here. Here's the call:

curl https://api.getanyapi.com/v1/run/tiktok.profile \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ANYAPI_KEY" \
  -d '{"handle": "khaby.lame"}'

AnyAPI pricing: TikTok profile $0.45, Instagram profile $1.00, YouTube channel $0.50, X profile $0.22, TikTok videos $0.70, Instagram posts $0.80 per 1,000; starter balance at signup

TikHub (best for Chinese platforms and raw breadth)

TikHub pros:

• Douyin, Xiaohongshu, Weibo, Kuaishou, Bilibili, and more, next to TikTok and Instagram
• Returned all 17 lookups it had endpoints for, with counts within 10 followers of AnyAPI's
• TikTok and X profiles halve in price past 30,000 a day

TikHub cons:

• Pays by Alipay, PayPal, crypto, or bank transfer, not card
• Rejects Python's default urllib user agent with a Cloudflare 1010 error

TikHub is the widest social API here, with 1,000-plus endpoints across 16 platforms, and the only one built around the Chinese platforms. If your list includes Douyin or Xiaohongshu, start here.

TikHub's Western lookups are $0.001 a request, $0.002 for an Instagram post list, and only TikTok and X profiles get cheaper with daily volume.

TikHub pricing: TikHub's endpoints cost $0.001 to $0.01 a request; daily tiers from $0.001 down to $0.0005 per base request; $5 minimum top-up

EnsembleData (best for Twitch search)

EnsembleData pros:

• A fixed monthly bill
• A free trial of 50 units a day with no card

EnsembleData cons:

• Units reset every day at 00:00 UTC, so a quiet day's units are gone
• An Instagram profile is three units, $6.67 per 1,000 on the $100 plan

EnsembleData covers TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Threads, Reddit, Twitch, X, and Snapchat. It prices endpoints in units and sells a set number of units per day. It's the only one here that searches Twitch by keyword; AnyAPI's TikTok and Instagram profiles cost less than on any of its plans.

EnsembleData pricing: Wood $100 a month for 1,500 units a day; Bronze $200 for 5,000; Silver $400 for 11,000; Gold $800 for 25,000; Platinum $1,400 for 50,000

Data365 (best for enterprise feed collection)

Data365 pros:

• One credit per post, €0.60 per 1,000 posts on Basic
• The same JSON fields across Instagram, Facebook, X, TikTok, Reddit, Threads, and Pinterest

Data365 cons:

• €300 a month for one network, €850 for three
• An asynchronous flow: start a task, poll, then fetch

Data365 returns one JSON shape across seven networks, and it's built for companies collecting whole feeds on a schedule. A profile is nine credits, €5.40 per 1,000 on Basic.

Data365 pricing: Basic €300 a month (one network, 500,000 credits); Standard €850 (three networks, 1,000,000); custom up to seven networks; 14-day free trial

The limits of this comparison

• ScrapeCreators' and TikHub's test costs are at list price.
