api.socialscrape.dev.Before you start
- An API key, sent in the
x-api-keyheader. Keep it on your server. - For this endpoint you send one of
urlorhandle. The Find a creator's public emails page lists every parameter.
Step 1: Send the request
GET /v1/creators/emails. Pick your language; each one reads the key from SOCIALSCRAPE_API_KEY.

The result is in data. Here is what the object gives you, from a recorded sample.
1print(body["data"]["handle"])1console.log(body.data.handle);1{2 "handle": "miguelangeles"3}A field the platform does not give comes back as null. The full field list is on the endpoint page.
Step 3: Handle errors
Check ok, then branch on error.code and error.retryable, never on the message.
1body = res.json()2if not body["ok"]:3 err = body["error"]4 if err["retryable"]:5 ... # wait a moment and send the same request again6 else:7 raise RuntimeError(f'{err["code"]}: {err["message"]}')1const body = await res.json();2if (!body.ok) {3 const { code, message, retryable } = body.error;4 if (retryable) {5 // wait a moment and send the same request again6 } else {7 throw new Error(`${code}: ${message}`);8 }9}| Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
invalid_params | 400 | no | A parameter is missing, unknown or has the wrong type. |
unsupported_url | 400 | no | The URL is not one this endpoint accepts (wrong platform or form). |
not_found | 404 | no | The platform says this profile, post or item does not exist. |
Other errors, such as unauthorized or rate_limited, are on the errors page.
With the SDK
The Python and TypeScript clients wrap all of this: typed errors, retries. Install them with pip install socialscrape-sdk or npm install socialscrape.

1 credit. A failed request costs nothing. Add max_age_days to reuse a cached result for 0 credits. Results are kept 30 days.
