Frequently asked questions

Common questions about the Context.dev Social Media API.

Am I billed for failed requests?
No. You are not billed for failed requests or requests where we are blocked (rarely happens). Credits are only consumed on successful responses.
How do I find a company's LinkedIn URL from their domain?
POST { "type": "by_domain", "domain": "figma.com" } to /v1/brand/retrieve. brand.socials is an optional array of { type, url } objects and the call is subject to your ordinary API credit and requests-per-minute limits.
Which social platforms does the API support?
The current enum includes X, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, TikTok, Dribbble, GitHub, Behance, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Telegram, Line, Discord, Twitch, Vimeo, IMDb, Tumblr, Flickr, Giphy, Medium, Spotify, SoundCloud, TripAdvisor, Yelp, Product Hunt, Reddit, Crunchbase, App Store, and Play Store.
Are the social profiles verified?
The API returns discovered profile URLs but does not expose a verification state, source list, or confidence score. Apply additional verification if official-account status is important to your workflow.
What does the response look like?
An optional array of { type, url } objects. type is one value from the supported platform enum and url is the discovered profile URL. No separate handle or platform ID is returned.
Can I use this API to enrich a CRM with social handles?
Yes. CRM enrichment is a primary use case: pass a domain at lead-creation time and store the returned LinkedIn URL on the account record. Combine with the Logo, Colors, and Address APIs to build a one-call enrichment pipeline keyed only on domain.
Is the social media API free?
Yes. Work-email signups get 1,000 free API credits every month at 30 req/min, enough for 100 full brand-data lookups. A single API key also unlocks Logo, Colors, Fonts, Address, NAICS/SIC, and the rest of the Context.dev brand-data suite.
