# Socify

> Unified social media scraping API. Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube: one Bearer key. REST JSON lookups for public social data: built for Humans and Agents.

Base URL (canonical REST): https://trysocify.com: proxies /api/*
API host (direct): https://api.trysocify.com: same API; MCP lives here
Auth: Authorization: Bearer <SOCIFY_KEY>
Pattern: GET /api/v1/:platform/:resource?param=value
Response envelope: ok, params, data, meta (usage + latency)
Quota: 200 free requests/mo, then $0.0015/request. No request RPM limit. HTTP 402 = top up at /pricing
Health: GET /api/health → { "ok": true }

MCP (Streamable HTTP): https://api.trysocify.com/mcp
Also proxied at: https://trysocify.com/mcp
OpenAPI: https://trysocify.com/openapi.json

**Recommended reading order:**
1. This file (`/llms.txt`)
2. [`/agents.txt`](https://trysocify.com/agents.txt): agent onboarding, auth rules, crawl allowlist
3. [`/llms-endpoints.txt`](https://trysocify.com/llms-endpoints.txt): every operation with markdown links, or `/llms-{platform}.txt` when you already know the platform
4. The linked `.md` page for the specific route
5. [`/docs/quickstart.md`](https://trysocify.com/docs/quickstart.md): first request
6. [`/openapi.json`](https://trysocify.com/openapi.json): schemas for codegen only

Create a key at https://trysocify.com/dashboard/keys (free plan: 200 requests / month).
Do not scrape HTML for API integration: use REST, OpenAPI, or MCP. Never invent endpoint paths.
For product pages and articles, fetch the markdown twins below (append `.md`, or `/index.md` for the homepage) or send `Accept: text/markdown` on the HTML URL. Comparison tables are GitHub-flavored markdown.
