PostCrawl is a high-performance social media data extraction service designed for AI and LLM applications. It provides structured, type-safe access to Reddit and TikTok content through simple API calls.

Currently, PostCrawl supports Reddit and TikTok, with more platforms planned for the future.

PostCrawl uses a credit-based system where you purchase credits and each API operation consumes credits based on the operation type:

Search: ~1 credit per 10 results, ~2 credits per 100 results
Extract (without comments): ~1 credit per Reddit URL, ~2 credits per TikTok URL
Extract (with comments): ~4 credits per URL

- 2,000 credits - $5 ($2.50 per 1,000 credits)  
- 20,000 credits - $50 ($2.50 per 1,000 credits)  
- 100,000 credits - $125 ($1.25 per 1,000 credits)  
- 250,000 credits - $250 ($1.00 per 1,000 credits)  
- 1,000,000 credits - $800 ($0.80 per 1,000 credits)  
- 5,000,000 credits - $3,250 ($0.65 per 1,000 credits)  
- Custom quantity available (2,000 - 10,000,000 credits)

Tiers automatically upgrade based on your total spending:

New organizations start at tier 1. Tier upgrades take effect immediately on your next API request. For custom tier assignments, contact support.
