About Veedcrawl
Veedcrawl lets agents and applications work with social video instead of scraping webpages. It offers four actions: Search finds public videos by topic, hashtag, product or creator; Metadata normalizes views, likes, comments, duration, title, creator and platform into one response; Transcript returns timestamped text from speech and captions; and Extract asks a video a question to pull products, claims, hooks, calls to action, scenes or custom structured JSON.
It can be used through an MCP connector for ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor, through a REST API with SDKs for apps, backends and queues, or through automation tools, with an API playground and documentation. Use cases include researching competitors, turning video URLs into summaries and hooks, and prototyping agent workflows before shipping them.
Platforms covered are YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X. It is a hosted developer service with a free allowance of 50 credits and a pricing section. Sample responses on the page show views, transcript length and extracted products for a TikTok video.
