What it does

Scrapecreators API is an agent skill from gooseworks-ai/goose-skills. Provider reference for collecting public profiles, posts, comments, transcripts, trends, and ad-library data from major social platforms through ScrapeCreators. Use as a dependency of research workflows, not as the final user-facing deliverable.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill.meta.json`).

It works with Instagram, TikTok and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Library of Growth & GTM skills + data APIs for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor to run ads, social, content, lead gen, seo and data scraping. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/scrapecreators-api”

Requirements

  • A credential in SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c650c6d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are yaml and json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • docs.scrapecreators.com
    • api.scrapecreators.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Scrapecreators API loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 579 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

ScrapeCreators API

Use ScrapeCreators when a workflow needs structured public social or ad-library data at a scale that ordinary web search cannot provide.

Runtime selection

Task skills describe each request as an environment-neutral operation containing provider, method, path, and optional query or body. Execute that same operation through the first available runtime:

  1. GooseWorks MCP available: inspect and call the live call_data_provider tool. Pass the operation fields directly. This is the preferred path in ChatGPT, Cowork, and any client without a terminal. It uses the first-party GooseWorks ScrapeCreators proxy and managed key; it does not route through Orthogonal.
  2. Local GooseWorks CLI available: translate the operation into gooseworks call <provider> <path>, adding the method, query, or body options represented in the operation. The CLI uses the same first-party proxy.
  3. User-owned ScrapeCreators key available: call https://api.scrapecreators.com<path> with SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY in the x-api-key header, using the operation's method, query, and JSON body.
  4. No runtime available: ask the user to connect GooseWorks MCP, sign in through the local GooseWorks CLI, or provide their own ScrapeCreators key. Do not pretend the operation ran.

Prefer MCP whenever call_data_provider is registered, even if a shell might also exist. Never ask for a separate provider key when the managed MCP or CLI path is available. Never print, store, or return either credential.

Example operation:

yaml
provider: scrapecreators
method: GET
path: /v1/instagram/profile
query:
  handle: brand

Use ScrapeCreators' official OpenAPI as the endpoint source of truth: https://docs.scrapecreators.com/openapi.json. Do not use Orthogonal search or details to discover ScrapeCreators operations because its mirrored catalog can be incomplete.

Most operations are GET requests. ScrapeCreators' official OpenAPI currently also defines POST variants for Meta ad search, Meta company ads, and Reddit post comments. Use POST only when the official operation requires it:

yaml
provider: scrapecreators
method: POST
path: /v1/facebook/adLibrary/search/ads
body:
  query: running shoes
  country: US

Endpoint names can change. If a request fails or the exact parameters are unclear, read https://docs.scrapecreators.com/openapi.json before guessing.

Collection rules

  1. Confirm platform, market, time window, and sample size.
  2. Start with a small request and inspect the response shape.
  3. Follow the returned cursor until the requested sample is reached or no cursor remains.
  4. Keep the raw source URL, creator handle, platform, publication date, and engagement fields with every item.
  5. Deduplicate by platform-native content ID or canonical URL.
  6. Separate facts returned by the API from conclusions inferred during analysis.
  7. Do not use follower count as a proxy for audience fit or post quality.

Output contract

Provider calls should return a normalized source set for the parent workflow:

json
{
  "platform": "instagram",
  "query": "brand",
  "collected_at": "ISO-8601",
  "items": [{"id":"...","url":"...","author":"...","published_at":"...","text":"...","metrics":{}}],
  "next_cursor": null,
  "limitations": []
}

This is a provider skill. Do not stop after dumping API output; return control to the research skill that requested the data.
