How to Use Scrape Creators
A practical guide to configuring Scrape Creators and pulling profiles, posts, transcripts, comments, ads, and creator data into agent workflows.
I have a skill that lets me pull anything I need from social media directly from Claude Code and Codex. For this, I use Scrape Creators.
It means I can say, “Pull the 10 most recent Instagram transcripts from @kallaway, @rpn, and @hormozi, then put them in my Content Research database in Notion.”
This is just one example. The same setup can pull profiles, posts, comments, stats, ads, transcripts, and more, then hand the data directly to an agent workflow.
What it can scrape
The useful thing is not just the number of platforms. It is the depth. You can pull the profile, the content, and the public response to the content through the same API.

|---|---|
| TikTok | Profiles, videos, comments and replies, followers and following, audience demographics, search, trending feeds, live data, songs, Shop, and ads. |
| Profiles, posts, reels, comments, highlights, tagged posts, hashtags, search, transcripts, and trending reels. | |

Configure it once
Here is exactly how to set it up. Create an account here, copy your API key, and save it as a server-side environment variable. Do not paste the key into prompts or expose it in a public browser variable.
