Scout Report: Social Platform Profile Extraction APIs for Onboarding

This scout report evaluates API-based services for extracting structured profile data and post URLs from Instagram, X, LinkedIn, and TikTok to power Stacklist's automated onboarding flow. It recommends a hybrid integration of Apify as the primary multi-platform service, supplemented by Proxycurl for LinkedIn and official APIs, acknowledging that no single ToS-compliant service covers all platforms and that third-party extraction operates in a legal grey area.
