Public beta launched

SocialRouter is in public beta as of today. The marketing site is live, the waitlist is open, and the first endpoint — Reddit reads — is callable from the playground without an API key. If you want to try it before signing up, head to /playground.

What works today

The minimum viable surface is intentionally narrow. Everything below is wired end-to-end against real infrastructure (Supabase + Stripe + the actual Reddit API):

• Reddit reads — POST /v1/social/read with a valid API key returns normalized post data from any subreddit, sorted by hot/new/top/rising.
• Public playground — same endpoint without auth, rate-limited to 10 req/min per IP.
• API key management — create, copy-once, revoke. Keys are SHA-256 hashed; we never store plaintext.
• Credit system — pay-per-request billing in millicents. 1,000 free requests on signup. Failed requests aren't charged.
• Stripe Checkout — credit top-ups via hosted Checkout. Webhooks update balance atomically.
• OAuth signin — GitHub and Google. New users get a profiles row + free credits via database trigger.

What's coming next

Real talk: the marketing site says "8 platforms" because the schema and pricing support 8. Only Reddit is wired today. Here's the order we're building the rest:

• X / Twitter reads — next two weeks. Most-requested.
• Reddit writes — comment + post submission via the official OAuth API.
• Cross-platform analytics — unified engagement metrics across whatever platforms you've connected.
• Instagram / TikTok / YouTube reads — these have the trickiest API ergonomics, scheduled for May.

We'd rather ship one platform fully than four platforms half-broken. Each platform's docs page will note exactly which endpoints are live and which are still being built.

How to get in

We're admitting waitlist members in batches. Join at /waitlist — we'll email when there's room. Priority goes to teams with a concrete use case (drop a sentence in the email reply describing what you're building).

If you can't wait and want to start integrating now, the playground is live and rate-limited but otherwise full-fidelity. Same JSON shape, same headers, same normalization logic.

What we'd love feedback on

Two specific things:

• The normalized response shape. We made it look like Reddit on purpose — most developers know that JSON. But it has to also fit X, TikTok, Instagram. If you spot something that won't generalize, tell us.
• Pricing. $0.001/read, $0.005/write, $0.002/analytics for X. Reasonable? Off? Compared to scraping it yourself? Email hello@socialrouter.ai.

Thanks for being early.
