Socify

Quickstart

From zero to a public Instagram profile in five steps. You can also try calls live in the playground after you have a key.

1. Create an account

Sign up at trysocify.com/register. Free plans start with 100 credits every month : no card required.

2. Create an API key

Open Dashboard → API keys, create a key, and copy the secret immediately. Socify shows it once; if you lose it, revoke and create another.

3. Store the key

Put the secret in an environment variable. Never commit it to git or ship it in client-side code.

export SOCIFY_KEY='sk_live_...'

4. Make your first request

Fetch a public Instagram profile. Every lookup is GET /api/v1/:platform/:resource with Bearer auth.

cURL

curl -s 'https://trysocify.com/api/v1/instagram/user?username=natgeo' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCIFY_KEY"

Node

const res = await fetch(
  'https://trysocify.com/api/v1/instagram/user?username=natgeo',
  { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.SOCIFY_KEY}` } },
);
const data = await res.json();
console.log(data);

Python

import os
import requests

r = requests.get(
    'https://trysocify.com/api/v1/instagram/user?username=natgeo',
    headers={'Authorization': f"Bearer {os.environ['SOCIFY_KEY']}"},
)
print(r.json())

5. Read the response

A successful call returns ok: true, the platform payload under data, and billing info in meta. Full field reference: Response format. Endpoint details: Profile Info.
