Why switch?

Socify

  • Zero anti-bot config for social
  • Structured social resources
  • Credits on success
  • Simple monthly tiers
  • Nine networks
  • 99.97% SLA

Scrapfly

  • Anti-bot suite complexity
  • Extraction config overhead
  • Web-scraping mindset
  • Pricing for hard targets
  • Not social-schema native
  • Ops knobs in the hot path

The schema gap: extraction toolkit overhead for a handle.

Scrapfly is powerful for hard targets. Public social lookups should not require anti-bot cockpit configuration.

On Socify there is no anti-bot cockpit for a public handle. Social resources stay simple, and credits move only on success.

Switching from Scrapfly.

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 Scrapfly to Socify?

Use Socify for social resources; Scrapfly for stubborn non-social pages.

Will Socify cover the same surface Scrapfly does?

Scrapfly is general scraping; Socify is nine-network social JSON.

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

Different APIs: scrape config vs resource paths.

Can I run Socify alongside Scrapfly before cutting over?

Yes. Keep Scrapfly 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.
