Social metrics API for developers
A developer-friendly REST API for social media metrics across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and more. Query them all in a single request, with simple authentication, predictable JSON responses, and affordable pricing.
$ curl -X POST https://metrika.run/api/v1/resources/search \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"resources": [
{"platform": "instagram", "type": "account", "identifier": "natgeo"}
]
}'Clean, predictable responses
Every API response follows the same structure. No surprises, no unnecessary nesting.
{
"data": [
{
"platform": "instagram",
"type": "account",
"identifier": "natgeo",
"status": "available",
"metrics": {
"followers": {
"value": 284000000,
"status": "available"
},
"following": {
"value": 74,
"status": "available"
}
}
}
]
}
Each metric includes a value and status field. Bulk requests return multiple results in a single response.
