About SocialiQ

What SocialiQ is

SocialiQ is a single, normalized REST API for public social media data. One set of endpoints, one authentication scheme, and one response shape covering TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, X (Twitter), Threads, and LinkedIn. You request a post, a user, or a comment thread, and you get back the same predictable JSON no matter which platform it came from.

We return public social data only, billed on a usage basis, behind a key formatted like sc_live_.... There is no per-platform SDK to learn and no separate integration to babysit — you integrate once and read across everything.

The problem we solve

Every social platform exposes its data differently. Each one has its own API surface, its own rate limits, its own field names, its own pagination quirks, and its own approval process before you can touch anything useful. Building against all of them means writing and maintaining a separate integration per platform — and then rewriting it every time one of them changes.

SocialiQ collapses that work into one interface:

• One API surface instead of six. Learn it once; it works everywhere.
• One normalized shape. A post is a post. The same fields mean the same thing across platforms, so your code does not branch on where the data came from.
• One key and one bill. No juggling separate credentials, quotas, and approval workflows per platform.

The upstream data comes from licensed, third-party data providers. You get a clean, consistent feed; we handle the messy parts behind it.

Origin story

SocialiQ was founded in 2026 with a narrow, honest goal: give AI agents clean social data. As more software started reading the social web on its own — agents summarizing, monitoring, and reasoning over public posts — the friction of stitching together a different API for every platform stopped being an annoyance and became a blocker. Agents need data in a predictable shape, not a pile of platform-specific edge cases.

So we built the layer we wished existed: take the fragmented reality of social platforms and present it as one well-behaved API. That is still the whole point of the product today.

Who's behind SocialiQ

Tyler Yin — Founder

SocialiQ is built and run by Tyler Yin. Tyler started SocialiQ after repeatedly hitting the same wall building agent and analytics tooling: there was no single, sane way to read public social data across platforms, so he set out to build one.

What we believe

• Normalized data wins. Developers should describe what they want — a post, a profile, a thread — not relearn a new schema for every platform.
• No scrapers, no proxies. We source from licensed, third-party data providers rather than running brittle scraping or proxy infrastructure. That makes the API more stable and predictable to build on.
• Usage-based and honest. You pay for the calls you make. No platform minimums to clear, no shelfware tiers — pricing tracks your actual usage.
• Agent-ready by default. Predictable shapes, plain Bearer-key auth, and consistent behavior across platforms are exactly what autonomous software needs to read the social web reliably.
