What it does

LurkAPI is for creators and the people who build creator tools. It reads public pages on 16 platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit and X, and returns posts, comments, profiles and video transcripts as clean JSON. Use it to see what works in your niche: pull a channel's latest videos and their transcripts, check a creator's follower counts before a collab, or see the ads a brand runs before you pitch it. Connect it to Claude or ChatGPT and ask in plain English, or call it from code. Without an account you can try the free tools, such as the TikTok transcript generator, the TikTok comment viewer, video downloaders and engagement rate calculators. Most calls cost 1 credit, and new accounts get 100 free credits with no card.
