About LurkAPI

LurkAPI is a social media data API and MCP server for developers and AI apps. One GET request returns clean JSON from public pages on 16 platforms: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, Telegram, Snapchat, Truth Social, Google, eBay, Linktree and any web page. It has 88 endpoints, most at 1 credit a call, and answers in about a second on average. Add https://api.lurkapi.com/mcp to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code and every endpoint becomes a tool, with browser sign-in. Credits come in one-off packs from $9 and never expire; new accounts get 100 free credits with no card, and failed calls are free.
