Compare Gaffa vs. Social Fetch

Gaffa is a REST API built for web scraping and browser automation, allowing developers to run real, full browsers at scale with a single API call. It removes the difficulty of managing headless browser frameworks, rotating proxies, CAPTCHA solving, and scaling infrastructure, all of which are handled automatically. JavaScript-heavy and dynamic websites render exactly as they would for a human visitor by default. Beyond standard scraping, Gaffa supports AI-driven structured data extraction (extract data into a defined schema without writing CSS selectors), screenshot and PDF capture, infinite-scroll and form-filling automation, and clean Markdown conversion for feeding webpages directly into LLM and RAG pipelines. A rotating residential proxy network keeps access reliable across regions, and a credit-based pricing model means teams pay only for the browser time and bandwidth they actually use. Gaffa is designed for AI engineers, data teams, and developers who want production-grade web data extraction without having to build and maintain their own infrastructure.

Social Fetch is an API that operates on the REST architecture, offering direct access to organized JSON data encompassing public posts, user profiles, comments, engagement statistics, transcripts, and search outcomes from various platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, X/Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, Threads, Telegram, GitHub, Spotify, Rumble, and other web pages. By handling all the complexities of scraping infrastructure, including proxies, headless browsers, alterations in the DOM, and limitations on request frequency, it delivers a consistent cross-platform schema, enabling developers to easily integrate or switch between different platforms without the need to modify their client-side logic. This makes it a valuable tool for developers seeking to streamline their workflow and enhance their applications with minimal friction.
