  description: 'Self-hosted social media scraping API — a drop-in replacement for scrapecreators.com.


    ## Authentication

    Every request must send your API key in the `x-api-key` header.


    ## Credits

    Billing is credit-based: **1 request = 1 credit** (some endpoints cost more — see each endpoint''s description). Credits are **non-expiring** — buy once, use whenever.


    Response bodies match the ScrapeCreators shapes so existing integrations work unchanged.'
