Why switch?

Socify

  • No concurrency ceiling: credits are the quota
  • 99.97% uptime SLA · live on /status
  • High success · fast fetches on major networks
  • Nine platforms: no breadth tax
  • No seat caps: same API every tier
  • Scale without a support thread

Social Fetch

  • Hard in-flight ceiling per workspace
  • No contractual uptime SLA
  • Measured success · multi-second average fetch
  • Breadth you pay for even if unused
  • Seat caps: 1 → 5 → 25 by plan
  • Extra throughput needs a support thread

The catch: you are charged for not_found.

Social Fetch documents that a completed lookup with lookupStatus not_found, private, or restricted still consumes credits. Typo a handle or hit a deleted post and you still pay.

On Socify, not_found, private, and failed upstream lookups are not charged. Credits move only when the lookup succeeds.

Switching from Social Fetch.

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 Social Fetch to Socify?

Create an account, mint a Bearer key, remap your client to Socify’s /api/v1/{platform}/{resource} paths, and point traffic at the overlapping platforms first. Teams with a thin wrapper usually cut over without rewriting product logic.

Will Socify cover the same surface Social Fetch does?

Not the full catalog. Social Fetch spans a broader surface including long-tail sources. Socify focuses on the major social networks builders ship against: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Reddit, LinkedIn, Twitch, X, and Snapchat: same surface on every plan.

How close is Socify’s API to Social Fetch’s?

Both are REST with API keys and JSON responses, but paths, fields, and envelopes differ. Expect a thin adapter layer rather than a drop-in swap. Auth is Bearer on Socify; resources follow a consistent /api/v1/{platform}/{resource} shape.

Can I run Socify alongside Social Fetch before cutting over?

Yes. Keep Social Fetch 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.
