Social media scraper questions, answered
What you can collect, what it costs, and what stays off limits.
View plans and pricingWhat is a social media scraper?
A social media scraper collects public data from platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, for example posts, comments, profiles and hashtags, and puts it into a structured table. With SpringBrand you describe what you need in plain English, and your agent runs the matching tool and returns the results.
Which platforms and data can I collect?
SpringBrand lists tools for TikTok (video search, video details, comments, hashtag videos, user posts and profiles, creator search), Instagram (public profiles, follower and following lists of public accounts, posts, reels, comments, hashtag and location posts), YouTube (video search, details, comments, channel videos), Reddit (search, posts, comments, subreddits) and X (search, posts, replies, profiles). What you can run depends on the tools available in your account.
See scraping tasksHow does the TikTok scraper work?
Give the agent a hashtag, keyword, public account or video link and the fields you want. It looks up the matching TikTok tool, collects public videos or comments, and returns a table with views, likes, comments, post date and a link to each video.
How does the Instagram scraper work?
Give the agent a public Instagram handle, post link, hashtag or location. It can collect the profile, recent posts and reels, the comments on a post, or hashtag posts, and return them as a table with likes, comments, date and a link to each post.
Can I scrape Instagram followers?
Yes, for public accounts. Use SpringBrand as an Instagram follower scraper: its Instagram tools return the accounts following, or followed by, a public account, with usernames and public profile fields, page by page. Private accounts are not available. Use the list for research, such as finding creators or understanding an audience, follow Instagram's terms and privacy rules, and don't use it to collect contact details.
Can I scrape private accounts, emails or phone numbers?
No. This page covers public posts, comments and profiles only. SpringBrand does not offer access to private accounts, and you should not use it to collect personal contact details that people have not made public.
Is scraping social media legal?
Collecting public data is common for research, but platform terms and privacy laws such as GDPR still apply, and rules differ by country and use case. Collect only what you need, avoid personal data you do not need, and check with your own legal advisor. This is not legal advice.
Do I need to write code?
No. In SpringBrand Agent you describe the request in everyday language. If you want to use your own agent, such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, connect SpringBrand once by following the installation guide.
Open the installation guideHow much does it cost?
Start free, pay per run. The Free plan includes 100 credits a month and needs no credit card. Each run spends credits from one balance, and the cost depends on the tool and how much data you request, so ask the agent to show the cost before it runs. Paid plans and top-ups add more credits.
View plans and pricingCan I scrape several platforms in one request?
Yes. You can ask for the same topic across TikTok, YouTube, Reddit and X in one request, and the agent uses the tool for each platform. Ask for a platform column and a row limit per platform so the results stay comparable.
Does it monitor accounts on a schedule?
This page covers collecting data when you ask for it. To get a fresh copy, save your request and run it again.
How accurate is the data?
Results reflect what the platform shows publicly at the time of the run, and counts such as views and likes keep changing. Keep the source link on every row and open a few to check before you rely on the numbers.
