Scrapecreators API

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user asks to scrape
• Look up social media profiles
• Trending content
• Engagement metrics from any social platform

Example prompts

• “/scrapecreators-api”

Requirements

• A credential in SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write, WebFetch

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 64ba7b4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Bash
  • Read
  • Write
  • WebFetch

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • curl

  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:

  • facebook.com
  • tiktok.com
  • linkedin.com
  • docs.scrapecreators.com
  • youtube.com
  • twitter.com
  • api.scrapecreators.com
  • instagram.com
  • pinterest.com
  • reddit.com
  • threads.net
  • bsky.app
  • truthsocial.com
  • clips.twitch.tv

  Also links to:

  • 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 4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 170 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,118 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~170

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~4k

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

• NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md

  allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write, WebFetch

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.
