Social Media Scraper

Extract data from Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, YouTube, and Facebook. Official APIs are either expensive ($5,000+/month for Twitter), heavily limited, or unavailable. Scraping with residential proxies is the practical alternative.

When to Use This Skill

Activate when the user:

• Wants to scrape Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, YouTube, or Facebook
• Needs social media analytics or engagement data
• Asks about influencer research or brand monitoring
• Wants to track hashtags, trends, or viral content
• Needs to collect posts, comments, or follower data
• Gets blocked accessing social media platforms programmatically

Why Proxies Are Essential

Every major social platform blocks automated access:

| Platform | API Cost | Protection Level | Proxy Required |
