LurkAPI

LurkAPI provides structured data from public social and web pages through an API and an MCP server. Developers can call endpoints from their own code, while users of compatible AI apps can connect the service and ask for information in natural language. The endpoint catalog covers public posts, profiles, comments, ads, videos and other material across services including Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn and X. A developer can obtain an API key, select an endpoint and receive JSON responses. Alternatively, an MCP connection lets an assistant select and run requests as part of a research task. The documentation includes options for limiting the exposed platforms, using a compact endpoint catalog and setting a maximum credit cost on variable-priced calls. Users can also try requests in the browser without signing up. The service is useful for building research workflows around public social content, advertising, listings or web pages without managing platform logins and proxies for each request. Accounts start with free credits and receive a daily balance refill; one-time credit packs provide additional usage without a subscription.
