Jobs

Run many requests (or one long one) as a job

POST /v1/jobs

Runs up to max_requests (1000) endpoint requests in the background: each item is exactly the request its endpoint answers synchronously, at the same price (failed items are free), with the same caches. max_pages walks a list endpoint server-side with its cursor. Credits work as for synchronous requests: each page reserves its endpoint's minimum when it runs (against the balance and the calling key's spend limit) and is topped up to its price, so a job starts whenever its first page could run; max_credits (default: the sum of every item's maximum price) caps what the job may spend. With wait, the answer is 200 with the first page of results when the job ends in time (a synchronous batch), else 202 with the job; poll GET /v1/jobs/{id} (free) or subscribe to job.completed.

Auth: an API key with the jobs scope.

Send an idempotency-key header to retry safely: the same key and body within 1 day never repeat the work.

Example

cURL
curl -X POST 'https://socialtap.dev/v1/jobs' \
  -H "x-api-key: $SOCIALTAP_API_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "requests": [
    {
      "custom_id": "string",
      "endpoint": "amazon.deal_products",
      "params": {}
    }
  ]
}'
x-api-keystringheaderrequired

Your API key, with the jobs scope. Authentication

idempotency-keystringmax 255 chars

On any POST: your unique key for the request (1–255 printable ASCII characters; a UUID is ideal), kept 24 hours. Retrying with the same key and body never repeats the work: the answer is the first request's result, in its current state.

waitintegermin 0max 60

Seconds to wait for the job to end before answering. If it ends in time the answer is 200 with the first page of results (a synchronous batch); otherwise 202 with the job as it is.

Body

application/json

JSON. Fields marked nullable may be null; optional ones may be left out.

max_age?integernullable

Accept cached results up to this many seconds old for every item (free cache hits), like the endpoints' max_age.

max_credits?integernullable

Most the job may spend: a cap, never held up front (each page reserves as a synchronous request does). Default: the sum of every item's maximum price (times its max_pages). Items that would go over it are canceled.

metadata?object

Up to 16 string pairs of your own, returned with the job and in its events.

requestsobject[]

The requests to run, 1 to 1000; custom_id must be unique within the job.

custom_idstring

Your ID for the item (letters, digits, _ and -), echoed on its results.

endpointstring

The endpoint ID: Endpoint ID on its reference page, x-socialtap-endpoint in OpenAPI (youtube.transcript; not its operationId or path).

chargedboolean

Whether the request was charged: always false, failed requests are free.

detailsobject

The code's dynamic values (the error codes list documents each code's keys); {} when none.

doc_urlstring

URL of this code's documentation.

messagestring

What went wrong and how to fix it, for humans and agents; wording may change.

paramstringnullable

The query parameter or header the error is about; null when it is not about one input.

remediationstring

What to do about this code, one sentence.

request_idstring

Unique request ID; include it when contacting support.

retryableboolean

True when repeating the same request later may succeed (after details.retry_after when present).

statusinteger

The HTTP status of the response, repeated for clients that only see the body.

objectstring

Always job_result.

One ofjob_result

page_indexinteger

0 for a single-item endpoint and a list's first page; n for the list's page n+1.

The endpoint's data: its resource, or a list page's items.

metaobject

List endpoints only.

end_reasonstringnullable

Why there are no more pages; null while has_more is true. end: the list ended, or reached since/until. platform_limit: the platform stops serving further pages although the list goes on. max_pages: SocialTap's cap on pages in one walk. New values may be added. A short or empty page is not the end: only has_more false is.

One ofendplatform_limitmax_pages

has_moreboolean

True when another page exists; then next_cursor is set. An empty page with has_more true is not the end.

next_cursorstringnullable

Pass as cursor, with the same other parameters, to get the next page; null at the end.

next_cursor_expires_atstring date-timenullable

When next_cursor stops working, RFC 3339 UTC; null at the end. Don't store cursors.

400

400 Bad Request.

A parameter is missing or malformed, or the link is not one this endpoint takes.

Fix the parameter named in param as the message says. For a link of the wrong kind, call an endpoint listed in details.endpoints, when there is one.

401

401 Unauthorized.

unauthorizedNo retry

The x-api-key header is missing, or its key is unknown or revoked. On the dashboard's routes: the session cookie is missing or expired.

Send a valid API key in the x-api-key header. No key yet? A person gets one at details.signup_url; an AI agent follows details.agent_auth_url.

402

402 Payment Required.

The account does not have enough credits for this request.

Have a person buy credits at details.purchase_url (or make them a checkout link with details.checkout), then repeat the request. Do not retry automatically.

The API key reached its spend limit for this period. The account may still have credits.

Wait until details.resets_at, or raise the key's spend limit (PATCH /v1/api_keys/{id}). Do not retry automatically.

403

403 Forbidden.

forbiddenNo retry

The API key is valid but may not make this request, and details.reason says why: the account is suspended, the key lacks the route's scope, waits for its owner to confirm it by email, has expired, or was used from an IP outside its allowlist, or a rotated key's previous secret was used for a call that needs the admin scope. A running job stops with it too when its account is suspended or the key that created it is revoked or expires. It is about the key, never the item: a private item is private_or_unavailable, also 403, so branch on the code.

Act on details.reason. suspended: contact support. scope: use a key with details.required_scope. previous_secret: use the new secret. key_pending: have the owner open the emailed link. key_expired or key_revoked: create a new key. ip_not_allowed: call from an allowed IP.

409

409 Conflict.

A request with this Idempotency-Key is still running.

Retry after the seconds in the retry-after header to get that request's result.

422

422 Unprocessable.

This Idempotency-Key was already used for a different request (another route or body). Or it was used for this same request, which ran and returned a secret we no longer keep (details.reason answer_expired): running it again would create another.

Use a new Idempotency-Key for a different request, and reuse a key only to retry the identical request. With reason answer_expired, check what the first request created (GET /v1/api_keys, GET /v1/webhook_endpoints) before sending it again under a new key.

429

429 Too Many Requests.

rate_limitedYes, later

The account passed its runaway-protection ceiling: a high per-account limit that stops a broken client loop (plans have no rate limit). Requests without an API key (signup, the MCP server's tool listing and find_endpoint) are limited per IP address instead. It also stops an account whose failed requests in the last hour cost far more than its successful ones paid for: failures are free within a limit (the message says so), and successes raise it.

Wait the seconds in the retry-after header, then retry. If your steady traffic needs more, ask support to raise the ceiling; without an API key, send one.
