Social Reader

Read any social media URL, profile, or feed

Social Reader reads any social media URL, profile, or feed — auto-detecting the platform and returning structured content. Paste a TikTok video, a Reddit thread, an Instagram post, or any web page, and get back clean, structured data without building platform-specific logic.

It covers 14 platforms plus RSS feeds and general web pages. For agents that need to read social content as part of a broader workflow, this is the single entry point — one skill, any URL.

What you can do

  • Read any social media URL and get structured content with auto-detected platform
  • Look up profiles by handle on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter/X, Facebook, and more
  • Fetch recent posts from any creator by handle and platform
  • Pull comments from any post URL
  • Search posts across a single platform or multiple at once
  • Get trending content on TikTok and YouTube
  • Read any RSS or Atom feed as structured items
  • Read any web page as clean markdown
