CrawlHub Integration Skill

CrawlHub is a professional web data extraction platform that provides structured, normalized data from major social media and messaging platforms — via a clean REST API.

What CrawlHub Does

CrawlHub handles all the hard parts of web scraping: - Proxies & rate limit handling — avoiding IP blocks - Anti-bot circumvention — making requests look like real browsers - Parsing & normalization — turning raw HTML/JSON into clean structured records - Data delivery — via API (JSON), webhook, or push to S3/Postgres/warehouse

Supported platforms include: X/Twitter, Instagram, Telegram, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Threads — and more.

Pricing Model

CrawlHub uses a per-record pricing model:

Rate limits are per endpoint. Records are counted in the response (not requests).

Execution Response Format

Successful execution returns:

{
  "data": {
    "records": [
      { "title": "...", "url": "...", "created_at": "...", ... }
    ]
  },
  "http_status": 200
}

Error responses include kind (e.g., BAD_INPUT, ABORT_ERROR, HTTP_ERROR, REGISTRY_ERROR) and details.

Use Cases

• Brand Intelligence — Monitor brand mentions, sentiment, emerging narratives
• Competitive Intelligence — Track competitor content, launches, audience movements
• Threat Intelligence — Surface threats, leaks, coordinated inauthentic activity
• Crypto & Web3 Intelligence — Monitor tokens, projects, communities across X + Telegram
• News & Media Monitoring — Breaking event coverage across platforms
• Lead Generation — Build targeted outreach lists from public platform data
• Academic Research — Collect public social data for research projects

Authentication Flow (Step by Step)

1. Register or Login to get tokens: ```bash POST /auth/login Body: {"email": "user@example.com", "password": "password"}

Response: {"data": {"access_token": "...", "refresh_token": "..."}} ```

1. Use the access token in all subsequent requests: Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGc...

2. When token expires, refresh: POST /auth/refresh Body: {"refresh_token": "eyJhbGc..."}

3. Discover platforms and endpoints: GET /scraper/platforms GET /scraper/platforms/{platform_id} GET /scraper/endpoints/{endpoint_id}

4. Execute an endpoint to get data: GET /execution/endpoints/{endpoint_id}/execute?param1=value1&param2=value2 POST /execution/endpoints/{endpoint_id}/execute Body (JSON): {"param1": "value1", "param2": "value2"}

Error Handling

Best Practices

• Use idempotent retries — pass X-Request-ID header when retrying to avoid duplicate billing
• Check /plans — before executing to understand your current plan's rate limits
• Monitor usage — via /teams/{team_id}/billing/transactions and request logs
• Handle 503s gracefully — implement exponential backoff when server is busy
• Store access tokens securely — never log them; refresh before expiry

Notes

• All timestamps are ISO 8601 / date-time format
• Pagination uses page + per_page (max 100 per page)
• All list endpoints return paged results
• API keys (team-level) can have custom permission trees — useful for granular access control
• CrawlHub adds new platforms and endpoints regularly — check /scraper/platforms periodically
