Scraping Social Media & App Stores

Chocodata now covers the social and app-store surfaces alongside the rest of the web. The same single GET you already use for e-commerce and search returns structured JSON for apps, videos, posts, profiles, and job listings:

GET https://api.chocodata.com/api/v1/{target}/{resource}?api_key=YOUR_KEY&...

No login, no session juggling, no per-platform SDK. Pass the identifier (an app ID, a video ID, a username, a post URL) and get back typed fields.

What you can pull

Platform	{target}	Resources
Apple App Store	appstore	search, product, reviews
Google Play	googleplay	product, search
YouTube	youtube	video, channel, comments, transcript
Reddit	reddit	subreddit, post, user, search
TikTok	tiktok	video, profile, oembed
X (Twitter)	xtwitter	tweet
Instagram	instagram	profile, post
Facebook	facebook	page, post
LinkedIn	linkedin	jobsearch, job, company

A few highlights:

• App stores, both sides. Search a storefront, pull a single app’s full listing (price, version, ratings, genres, screenshots), and page through user reviews on the App Store, plus the Google Play equivalent.
• YouTube, including transcripts and comments. Beyond video metadata and channel uploads, youtube.transcript returns the timed caption track as timestamped segments and one joined string, and youtube.comments returns top or newest comments with author, like count, and reply count.
• Reddit, with scores. Posts and comments carry their score, upvote_ratio, and num_comments, so you can rank and filter by engagement straight from the response.
• TikTok, X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn. Video and post detail with engagement stats, public profiles and company pages, and LinkedIn job search plus single-job detail.

A first call

curl "https://api.chocodata.com/api/v1/youtube/transcript?api_key=YOUR_KEY&video_id=dQw4w9WgXcQ"

{
  "video_id": "dQw4w9WgXcQ",
  "language": "en",
  "is_generated": false,
  "segment_count": 61,
  "segments": [
    { "text": "♪ We're no strangers to love ♪", "start": 18640, "duration": 3240 }
  ],
  "text": "♪ We're no strangers to love ♪ ♪ You know the rules and so do I ♪…"
}

The shape is the same one every Chocodata endpoint follows, so if you’ve used the Product or Search endpoints, these will feel familiar.

Per-endpoint reference

The full request shape, every parameter (with allowed enum values), and a real example response for each of these endpoints live in the endpoint reference:

• App Stores - appstore and googleplay.
• Social Media - reddit, youtube, tiktok, xtwitter, instagram, facebook, and linkedin.
