Veed Crawl

Veed Crawl is a video intelligence API built for AI agents and developers who need to extract meaningful data from social media videos. It turns any public video URL from platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter), and Facebook into structured, machine-readable outputs including transcripts, metadata, and AI-powered insights. Instead of building and maintaining fragile scrapers for each platform, developers can use a single API key to access consistent, reliable data across all major social video sources. The core value proposition is simple: give AI systems the ability to understand video content the way they already understand text. Whether you are building a research pipeline, a content monitoring tool, an influencer discovery engine, or an AI agent that needs to answer questions about video content, Veed Crawl provides the infrastructure to make it happen. It delivers instant metadata lookups, highly accurate AI-powered transcription with timestamps, and visual extraction that can answer specific questions about what happens inside a clip. The response format is consistent across all platforms, so your code works the same way whether the input is a TikTok short, a YouTube tutorial, or an Instagram Reel. With 50 free credits to start, a typical async turnaround of under 30 seconds, and support for five major platforms, Veed Crawl is designed to be the fastest way to make social video content usable inside AI workflows, research tools, and internal dashboards.

Metadata Endpoint

The metadata endpoint is your first pass in any video workflow. Send a public video URL and instantly receive the video facts: title, creator name, view count, like count, comment count, share count, duration, platform identifier, and a thumbnail URL. This endpoint is free and requires no authentication, making it ideal for bulk filtering and quick decision-making about whether a video is worth deeper processing. The response is consistent across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, and Facebook, so your integration code remains simple and platform-agnostic.

Transcript Endpoint

The transcript endpoint extracts the spoken content from a video with high accuracy, returning the full text along with timestamps for each segment. This turns any social video into a searchable, indexable text document that AI agents, RAG systems, and search pipelines can process directly. The typical confidence score is above 98%, and the async turnaround is under 30 seconds for most videos. Use this endpoint when you need to know exactly what was said, by whom, and at what point in the video.

Extract Endpoint

The extract endpoint goes beyond simple data retrieval by allowing you to ask structured questions about the video content. You can ask what a video is about, what products appear, what claims are made, who is speaking, or what is happening in a specific clip. The AI reads the video, transcript, and metadata together to generate a direct, structured answer. This is the most powerful endpoint for AI agents that need to understand video context without manual review, enabling tasks like content summarization, trend analysis, and opinion extraction.

Consistent Multi-Platform Support

Veed Crawl provides a single, unified API surface for five major social video platforms: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter), and Facebook. The response format is identical regardless of which platform the video originates from, eliminating the need to maintain separate scrapers, parsers, or authentication flows for each service. This consistency dramatically reduces development time and maintenance burden, allowing you to focus on building your application logic rather than dealing with platform-specific quirks.

AI Agent Video Understanding

Give your AI agents the ability to research and understand social media videos the way they already understand text. An agent can receive a URL, ask Veed Crawl what the video is about, get the transcript and metadata, and then use that information to answer user questions, generate summaries, or make decisions. This enables chatbots, virtual assistants, and automation tools to work with video content directly from a simple URL input.

Content Research and Trend Analysis

Turn viral videos in your niche into reusable hooks, scripts, and content angles. By extracting transcripts and metadata at scale, you can analyze what topics are trending, what formats are performing well, and what language resonates with audiences. Use the extract endpoint to identify product mentions, opinions, and emerging trends across thousands of videos, feeding the results into your content strategy or market research pipeline.

Influencer Discovery and Verification

Find influencers based on what they actually say in their videos, not just their bio or follower count. Use Veed Crawl to pull transcripts and metadata from candidate videos, then analyze the spoken content for relevant topics, brand mentions, or specific claims. This gives you a much deeper, more accurate picture of an influencer's actual content and audience fit compared to surface-level metrics.

Competitive Monitoring and Intelligence

Monitor your competitors through their video content, not just their website or social media posts. Use Veed Crawl to automatically pull metadata and transcripts from your competitors' YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram videos. Track their product launches, marketing angles, customer feedback, and content strategy over time. The consistent API format makes it easy to build a competitive intelligence dashboard that updates automatically.

What platforms does Veed Crawl support?

Veed Crawl currently supports five major social video platforms: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter), and Facebook. You can send a public video URL from any of these platforms to any of the three endpoints, and the response format will be consistent across all of them. Support for additional platforms may be added in the future.

How accurate is the transcription?

The AI-powered transcription typically achieves a confidence score above 98% for clear, well-recorded videos. The transcript includes timestamps for each segment, making it suitable for search, RAG systems, and precise content analysis. Accuracy may vary for videos with heavy background noise, multiple speakers, or non-standard audio, but the system is designed to handle a wide range of real-world video quality.

How do the 50 free credits work?

When you sign up for Veed Crawl, you receive 50 free credits to test the API. Each API call consumes a certain number of credits depending on the endpoint and the length of the video. This gives you enough capacity to thoroughly evaluate the service, test your integration, and build a proof of concept before committing to a paid plan. The metadata endpoint is free and does not require authentication.

What is the typical response time?

The typical async turnaround for a video processing request is under 30 seconds. This includes the time to download the video, extract metadata, generate the transcript, and run the AI extraction if requested. The metadata endpoint is instant and returns results immediately. Processing time may vary depending on video length, platform, and current system load.
