What this skill does
Social Media Scraping with StableSocial Scrape profiles, posts, comments, followers, and search across 20+ platforms: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, GitHub, Rumble, Threads, Bluesky, Pinterest, Twitch, Spotify, and more — plus ad libraries and a UGC research agent (Lightreel). All endpoints cost $0.06 per call. Three endpoint families: Legacy platform endpoints (/api/tiktok/, /api/instagram/, /api/facebook/, /api/reddit/) — profiles, posts, comments, followers, search Scrape Creators suite (/api/sc/) — much broader platform and data coverage, including transcripts, ad libraries, and niche platforms Lightreel UGC research agent (/api/lightreel/) — durable-job research tasks (hooks, trends, creator search, scripts, briefs) Setup See rules/getting-started.md for installation and wallet setup. Notes Use agentcash.fetch for both the paid POST trigger and the free GET polling step. IMPORTANT: Use exact endpoint paths from the Quick Reference tables below. All paths include a platform prefix (e.g. https://stablesocial.dev/api/tiktok/...). How It Works: Async Two-Step Flow Every request follows a trigger-then-poll pattern: Step 1: Trigger (paid, $0.06) Returns 202 Accepted with a durable job ID, poll URL, and legacy JWT token: Step 2: Poll (free) Poll the durable job by ID (requires SIWX wallet auth from the paying wallet — agentcash.fetch handles this automatically): Or poll with the legacy token (no wallet auth needed): {"status": "pending"} — poll again in 3-5 seconds {"status": "finished", "data": {...}} — data is ready {"status": "failed", "error": "..."} — collection failed (not charged) Tokens expire after 30 minutes; durable jobs remain pollable by jobId. Jobs typically finish in 5-60 seconds (Lightreel jobs can take longer). GET /api/jobs (no token) lists your durable jobs. …
