What is the Network Library?

A free, curated catalogue of reverse-engineered API request configs for popular websites. Each config has the headers, query params, body shape, and auth scheme you need to call the endpoint from your own code — plus ready-to-paste pipeline code in cURL, Python, JavaScript, Java, and Go. Built for the case where the data you want is visible in a browser but there's no documented public API.

How a Network Library config saves you time

Find the entry for the target site / endpoint.
The config lists every required header (auth, x-csrf-token, x-requested-with…), the exact query-string params, and the body schema.
Copy the pre-generated cURL / Python / JS / Java / Go snippet for your stack.
Fill in your auth values, run. No 30 minutes of devtools sleuthing required.

Where the library earns its keep

• Integrating with a SaaS vendor that has no published API but has a working web UI.
• Scripting a repetitive admin task that lives behind a browser-only tool.
• Building a competitive-intelligence integration without committing to a paid scraping vendor.
• Debugging a third-party integration where you need to compare what the browser sends vs what the docs say.

For Facebook and Instagram, use the hosted endpoints

Reverse-engineered configs for Meta properties get stale fast — Facebook's web client ships changes roughly weekly. Maintaining your own scrape against a config that goes stale monthly is real ongoing cost. The hosted REST API at /api-sources covers every Facebook + Instagram dataset, handles the upstream layout churn on our side, returns structured JSON, and comes with rate limits + an SLA. The Network Library is the right tool for everything outside Meta.

Frequently asked questions

What's in the Network Library?

A curated set of reverse-engineered API request configs for popular websites — the headers, query params, body shape, and auth scheme needed to call each endpoint, plus pipeline code in cURL, Python, JavaScript, Java, and Go. Copy, fill in your variables, run.

Is reverse-engineering these APIs legal?

Reading public network traffic from a site you have permission to access is generally fine; whether you can use the data depends on the target site's ToS and applicable law in your jurisdiction. The library is a tool — using it responsibly is on you. We don't include configs for sites whose ToS explicitly forbid programmatic access.

How is this different from SocialAPIs' hosted endpoints?

For Facebook and Instagram, hit our hosted endpoints — cheaper than running your own client against reverse-engineered APIs, and we handle the upstream contract changes for you. The Network Library is for everything outside Meta where we don't yet expose an endpoint.

How often are the configs updated?

Each config has a 'last verified' timestamp. Popular sites get re-verified roughly monthly; the rest on a slower cadence. If you find one broken, ping support and we'll re-verify within a day or two.
