Here's what every dev who's tried to collect social media data eventually learns:
- Rate limits get tighter every quarter
- IP bans are automatic and aggressive
- Burner accounts get flagged within hours
- The data you collect has unclear commercial licensing You spend more time maintaining scrapers than actually using the data.
What I built instead
Social Intel uses a deterministic pipeline (no LLM) connected to official APIs:
- 25 quality checks per row
- 250+ enrichment fields (sentiment, emotions, topics, financial signals, entity extraction)
- Commercially licensed — no legal headaches 130+ datasets, 100+ platforms. Free samples up to 10K rows. Custom from $18. socialintel.io
