Why switch?

Socify

  • Social fields without unblocker DIY
  • Pay per successful social lookup
  • No render farm in-loop
  • Nine networks maintained
  • Bearer + JSON
  • 99.97% SLA

ScraperAPI

  • Unblocker credit model
  • Generic web scraping
  • DIY parsing for social
  • Render costs for simple profiles
  • Not social-first docs
  • Extra glue code

The ops tax: unblocker credits for every social field.

ScraperAPI meters requests through an unblocker. Social products still assemble parsers and pay whether the JSON shape is what your agent needed.

On Socify social fields do not consume unblocker credits. You call /platform/resource and pay only when the lookup succeeds.

Switching from ScraperAPI.

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 ScraperAPI to Socify?

Move social targets to Socify; keep ScraperAPI for arbitrary sites.

Will Socify cover the same surface ScraperAPI does?

ScraperAPI is general web; Socify is social-only structured data.

How close is Socify’s API to ScraperAPI’s?

Not compatible paths: scrape URL API vs /platform/resource.

Can I run Socify alongside ScraperAPI before cutting over?

Yes. Keep ScraperAPI 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.
