About Post Reef

Post Reef extracts structured data from social posts and web pages. You send a URL, such as a reel, carousel, video or article, along with the fields you want, either a ready-made schema from a library of 30 or more, a JSON Schema of your own or a plain description that it turns into a schema, and you get back an object where every field conforms to that schema.

Behind the request it rotates proxies to get past bot walls, then reads video, audio, images, transcript and comments together, or just the text when the URL is an article page, and runs AI extraction. The site pitches this as replacing a different scraper per platform, proxy pools, headless browsers and transcription pipelines. A demo replays real posts such as a recipe video, a how-to, a tech review, a travel guide and a news article. Each extraction is priced before it runs and refunded in full if it fails. The site has demo, schemas, pricing and docs pages.
