A pay-per-request API to search social media posts

One consistent JSON shape across platforms (title, url, date, author, snippet) is the real selling point — it removes a tedious layer of per-platform normalization. The pricing model (pay-per-request from $0.003, 50 free requests per endpoint) and dashboard spending caps show practical thinking, but the 3-concurrency limit, unclear data provenance/ToS guarantees, and no obvious specs for historical depth or coverage are notable gaps.
