Openhandle

Openhandle is a public social data API for Instagram, TikTok, X (Twitter), and Reddit. Public profiles, posts, comments, followers, and search come back in one normalized schema, with a capture time and a source on every answer and nulls where a platform hides a value. Pricing is per answered request with cheaper cached tiers (free at 30 days), caps per account and per key, and a full Test environment on synthetic data at $0.000. The API is read-only over OpenAPI 3.1, three first-party SDKs (TypeScript, Python, Go), and a remote OAuth-protected MCP server. Operated as a Netherlands sole proprietorship (KvK 89247647).

Openhandle publishes 6 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Instagram API, Reddit API, Test Data API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Social Data, Instagram, TikTok, twitter, and Reddit.

The Openhandle catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Openhandle’s developer surface includes sandbox, authentication, documentation, pricing, signup flow, support, and 25 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Government & Public Sector regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/openhandle: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
