  version: 1.0.0
  description: Profiles and posts from the major social networks, through one API. One key, one response shape; rate limits, retries and platform changes are on us. Clean JSON for your app or your AI agent. We read the exact field each platform publishes, and return null when none exists. Plus a historical trend archive that answers what was trending, which cannot be reconstructed after the fact.
