Why switch?

Socify

  • Direct social resource lookup
  • Deterministic platform paths
  • Pay per successful fetch
  • Nine networks
  • Agent-simple JSON
  • 99.97% SLA

Exa

  • Search ranking not profiles
  • Web results over social schema
  • Extra hop to structured social
  • Not platform-resource native
  • Query semantics ≠ user IDs
  • Search pricing model

The catch: search hits when you needed a profile object.

Exa retrieves relevant links and contents. A TikTok user object still needs a social API, not another search ranker.

On Socify you resolve a known handle to a social object, not another search ranking. Deterministic paths, credits on success.

Switching from Exa.

What is Socify?

Socify is a social-data API for builders and agents: nine major networks, credits as the only hard quota, a published uptime SLA, and one Bearer + JSON envelope across every plan.

How do I move from Exa to Socify?

Call Socify when you already know the platform and handle; use Exa for open web discovery.

Will Socify cover the same surface Exa does?

Exa searches the web; Socify fetches social entities on nine networks.

How close is Socify’s API to Exa’s?

Complementary: Exa discover, Socify fetch social JSON.

Can I run Socify alongside Exa before cutting over?

Yes. Keep Exa on production paths while you shadow-read through Socify on the overlapping platforms. Compare payloads and latency, then flip traffic when you are ready: no need for a big-bang cutover.
