A while back I was building a side project that needed public data from a few social platforms. Nothing crazy — profiles, posts, some engagement numbers. I figured I'd just grab each platform's official API. Reader, I did not "just grab each platform's official API." Here's what that road actually looked like, and how I ended up consolidating everything down to one key and roughly ten lines of shared code. The five-API nightmare Instagram (Meta Graph API). Great if you own the account. Useless for pulling public data about accounts you don't. Endless app review. TikTok. The research API is academics-only with a long application. For commercial use, basically nothing. X (Twitter). Used to be wonderful. Now $100/month to start, more for anything serious. YouTube. Honestly the best of the bunch — generous and well-documented. Credit where due. LinkedIn. Partner-only. For most people, no useful public access at all. So to cover five platforms I was looking at: five sets of credentials, five auth flows, five rate-limit models, five totally different response shapes, two flat-out rejections, and a monthly bill. For a side project. What I actually wanted getProfile ( " tiktok " , " someuser " ) getProfile ( " instagram " , " someuser " ) getProfile ( " twitter " , " someuser " ) Same call shape, same auth, same error handling. That's it. I don't care that each platform structures things differently internally — I want one boundary that hides that from me. The consolidation I switched to SociaVault , which puts public data from all of these behind one API and one key. My entire client became this: const API_KEY = process . env . SOCIAVAULT_API_KEY ; const BASE = " https://api.sociavault.com " ; async function sv ( path , params = {}) { const url = new URL ( BASE + path ); Object . entries ( params ). forEach (([ k , v ]) => url . searchParams . set ( k , v )); const res = await fetch ( url , { headers : { " X-API-Key " : API_KEY } }); if ( ! res . ok ) throw new Error ( ` $
