Paging. One request returns one page. For the next page, add a second request with cursor set to meta.next_cursor from the first; the crawlfeed app’s search modules will page for you.
The response is { data, meta }: map fields from data. Create the key at app.crawlfeed.dev, and keep it in the tool’s credentials store rather than pasting it into every step.

Make checks a trigger on the schedule you set for the scenario (every 15 minutes by default). Every check is a real call to crawlfeed, and a cached answer costs the same as a fresh one, so the interval sets the bill. At 1 credit per check:
Failed calls are refunded. For daily reports, a schedule plus an action is far cheaper than a trigger.
Questions
Do I need a paid Make plan?
Not for crawlfeed. Both the crawlfeed app and the HTTP module run on Make’s Free plan, within its operation limits. Your crawlfeed credits are billed separately: every call costs credits (most cost 1) and failed calls are refunded.
Which platforms can I reach?
All 26 crawlfeed platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit and Threads, and every one returns the same fields, so one Make workflow works across all of them.
How much does a scheduled workflow cost?
Every check is a real call, and cached answers cost the same as fresh ones. A trigger that checks every 15 minutes spends 96 credits a day; every 5 minutes, 288. Check less often for anything that does not need to be instant.
Where do I get an API key?
Sign up at app.crawlfeed.dev and create a key under API keys. New accounts get free credits to try it.
