The workflow

3 steps, one API key.

Run the steps in order, or call only the one you're missing. Every API links to its parameters, response fields and a live demo.

  1. Step 1: Profiles and content

    YouTube channels, videos and search; TikTok and Pinterest profiles.

    Try it free: YouTube Search

  2. Step 2: Audience voice

    YouTube comments with pseudonymised authors, summarised by AI.

  3. Step 3: Ad intelligence

    Ads from the public Google, Meta and TikTok ad libraries.

FAQ

Social and video analytics: questions

Do you need my social media logins?

No. We only read what signed-out visitors can see on public pages.

Are follower counts exact?

TikTok profiles show exact counts. YouTube rounds subscriber counts in public (for example 1.2M), so we return both the number and the text YouTube shows.

Can I track a creator over time?

Yes. Create a monitor on the profile or channel engine to record the numbers on a schedule and keep a history.

How much does social and video analytics with Gridlode cost?

Running the workflow on 1,000 items uses about 3,050 credits (YouTube Channel at 1 credits per call, YouTube Comments at 0.05 credits per comment and Google Ads Transparency Center at 2 credits per page). That is $3.05 at list price and as little as $0.91 at enterprise volume. Every new account gets 1,000 free credits, failed requests are free and cached results cost half.

Which of these APIs can I use today?

YouTube Channel, YouTube Video Details, YouTube Search, YouTube Comments, TikTok Profile, TikTok Video and Pinterest Profile & Board are live now. Instagram Profile, Facebook Page, Google Ads Transparency Center, Meta Ad Library and TikTok Ad Library are built and launching soon; the status on each API page changes the day they switch on.
