06THE GOOD QUESTIONS
A few things worth knowing.
Clear answers. It’s kind of our thing.
What is Fluxcrawl?
Fluxcrawl is a developer API for public social data. It puts a stable interface between your application and upstream data sources, with predictable JSON, one API key, and usage-based credits. Initial coverage focuses on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
Is Fluxcrawl available yet?
You’re looking at the launch preview. The request examples show the intended API contract using sample data. Public signup and the full documentation will be available at launch; the examples on this page do not send live API requests.
Where does the data come from?
Fluxcrawl is an abstraction layer over upstream sources, which may include official APIs and third-party public-data providers. Officially, that’s “provider abstraction.” Unofficially, it means when a platform has a bad day, that’s our problem to debug, not yours. Your application integrates with Fluxcrawl rather than individual providers, and the exact source can change behind the interface without you noticing.
Are responses identical across platforms?
Common fields follow predictable Fluxcrawl objects, so “followers” means the same thing everywhere you call it. Platform-specific information stays available where it belongs — a YouTube transcript was never going to look like a TikTok profile, and we won’t pretend otherwise. What you shouldn’t have to do is relearn a schema every time an upstream provider quietly renames a field.
What happens when a request fails?
If Fluxcrawl cannot provide the requested data, the request does not consume credits. That’s a billing principle, not a promotion, and it holds everywhere Fluxcrawl charges credits. Provider errors are translated into consistent Fluxcrawl error codes, so your code branches on one contract instead of learning each platform’s excuses. Automatic fallback between providers is planned as coverage develops.
How fresh is the data?
Freshness depends on the operation and the upstream source. Caching is planned around the type of data: profiles, comment feeds, and transcripts need different cache windows. Explicit freshness controls and final cache-credit rules are still being defined.
How do credits work?
The launch plan includes 150 free credits on signup. Paid usage uses credit packs rather than seats — pay for data, not for headcount — starting at $17 for 2,500 credits, and credits never expire. Most endpoints cost 1 credit; heavier operations like transcripts cost more, and universal search — one query across all three platforms — is planned at a flat rate. Use the calculator above to see what a pack covers at your volume. Failed data requests do not consume credits, because charging you to find out a platform said no would be a strange business to be in.
