Why switch?

Socify

  • Stable social objects for agents
  • Platform paths not queries
  • Pay per successful lookup
  • Nine networks
  • One envelope
  • 99.97% SLA

Tavily

  • Search-API product
  • Snippets over schemas
  • RAG-oriented packaging
  • Not social post/profile native
  • Query variability
  • Search credit model

What's missing: search snippets instead of social objects.

Tavily returns search results for agents. Building on Instagram or X data still needs a social resource API with stable fields.

On Socify agents fetch stable social fields instead of search snippets. Credits move only when the social lookup succeeds.

Switching from Tavily.

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 Tavily to Socify?

Use Socify for known social entities; Tavily for open-web agent search.

Will Socify cover the same surface Tavily does?

Tavily is search; Socify is social platform data.

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

Different jobs: search vs social resource lookup.

Can I run Socify alongside Tavily before cutting over?

Yes. Keep Tavily 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.
