X post search is the most-called tool on treg.to — 3,311 calls at a 100% success rate, 2.6 s median. TikTok, Instagram, Reddit and YouTube answer the same token, most of them at $0.001 a call.

The economics

The old way vs. the treg.to way

The old way With treg
What you pay forX API at $200/mo, plus a social listening seat, to answer a question you have once a weekOne prepaid balance. Most social calls are $0.001
KeysA developer account per platform — and TikTok's is invite-only, Instagram's needs app review, LinkedIn's is partner-onlyOne treg token. Every tool in the catalog answers to it
Picking a providerWhichever platform approved youcatalog get lists every provider serving that platform with price, measured success rate and median speed
CommitmentMonthly platform fees and quota tiers before you know if the data answers your questionNo subscription. Ask one question for a fraction of a cent
The workflowFive browser tabs, manual scrolling, screenshots into a docOne agent run across five platforms, deduplicated into one brief

The honest version of this pitch: the reason this is hard is not price, it is access. Several of these platforms do not sell a usable public API at any price to a small team. That is the wall treg.to gets you over.

What happens when you run it

The agent pulls posts from each platform. These are among the most-exercised tools in the catalog, so the records behind them are long:

Platform Endpoint Cost Success rate Median
Xtikhub search timeline$0.001100% (3,311 calls)2.6 s
TikToktikhub hashtag search$0.001100% (436 calls)1.3 s
tikhub video search$0.001100% (389 calls)3.3 s
tikhub profile$0.001100% (365 calls)0.4 s
Reddittikhub search$0.001100% (384 calls)1.0 s
ScrapeCreators$0.0018898% (283 calls)8.5 s
InstagramScrapeCreators Reels$0.00188100% (300 calls)3.9 s

Note the Reddit row: the cheaper provider is also the faster one by eight seconds and has the better record. That is not a coincidence you could have guessed — it is what the measurements say, and it is visible before you call.

A 200-call sweep across four platforms is well under a dollar.

It reads engagement, not just text. Views, likes, comments and posting dates come back with each post, so the agent can rank by velocity rather than by how loud a post sounds.

It clusters and reports. Repeated hooks, the questions that keep appearing in comments, and where the conversation is thin enough to enter.

What treg.to does and does not do here. It returns real posts with real engagement numbers. The ranking of "fastest-growing" is your agent's analysis of that data, not a metric a provider hands over. Coverage also differs per platform — check what an endpoint actually returns before you build a reporting workflow on it.

Evidence

Proof — from one real run

Run on treg.to, 17 Aug 2026, on the topic "AI agents". Every figure is from the Activity log of that run.

Field Value
Providers considered4 for Reddit search, 4 for TikTok search, 4 for YouTube search, 3 for X
Providers selectedscrapecreators.reddit.search.posts · tikhub.tiktok.search.videos · tikhub.youtube.search.videos · tikhub.x.twitter-web-fetch-search-timeline

Total cost of the run$0.00588 — four platforms, four calls
Subscription cost avoidedX API alone lists at $200/mo. TikTok's API is invite-only and YouTube's is quota-capped, so parts of this are not purchasable at any price by a small team

Platforms covered4 of 4 — Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, X
Posts retrieved29 Reddit posts · 10 TikTok videos · 19 YouTube videos + 25 Shorts · X search timeline
Cost per 100 itemsroughly $0.007

Everything came back with engagement attached: TikTok returned play, like, comment and share counts per video (top result 9,704 plays / 863 likes); YouTube returned view counts and publish age (4.7M views on the leading video, 2.3M on the leading Short); Reddit returned scores and comment counts.

The honest read of this run, and you should know it before you rely on this page. The Reddit search for "ai agents" returned poor relevance — the top-scoring results included an unrelated r/lol post and a news item about the Corporate Transparency Act. Ranking is the provider's, and on this query it was bad. The fix is cheap and it is the workflow the catalog is built for: search a named subreddit instead of the whole site, or switch provider. The measurements point at the same answer — the tikhub route is half the price, eight seconds faster and carries a 100% record over 384 calls against this one's 98% over 283. We used the wrong one, and the catalog would have told us so before the call.

Outcomes

Three things you can do the day you sign up

Find the questions your audience keeps asking.

Pull the comment threads under the top posts in your niche and let the agent cluster them. What comes back is a content calendar written by the audience rather than guessed at in a meeting.

Check whether a hook is already saturated.

Before you film it, have the agent search the exact phrasing across platforms and report how many creators used it in the last month and how those posts performed.

Track a creator or a competitor without a listening seat.

Run the same profile and hashtag pull weekly. The agent reports what changed. A week you skip costs nothing, which is not true of a subscription.

Fit

Who this is for

Social strategists who need a defensible answer about what is working this week, not a dashboard average from last quarter.
Creator marketers vetting who to work with, using real recent engagement instead of a media kit.
Content teams planning against what an audience is actually asking, across more platforms than one person can read.
Developers building research agents who want one HTTP surface across platforms whose official APIs are invite-only, app-review-gated or partner-only.
Questions

Before you sign up

Why not just call the providers directly?

On this vertical, usually because you cannot. TikTok's API is invite-only, Instagram's needs app review, LinkedIn's is partner-only, YouTube's is quota-capped, and X's is $200/mo. Getting approved on four platforms to answer one research question is weeks of work, and some of those doors do not open for a small team at all.

There is also a result here we did not expect. treg.to carries both X's official API and an independent route, and has measured both: the official search endpoint returns a usable answer on 62% of calls, while the independent route has returned one on 100% of 3,311 calls. Paying $200 a month is not buying you the more reliable option. We would not have known that either without measuring it, and it is the reason the catalog shows a record rather than a logo.

treg.to is closer to OpenRouter for agent tools than to a data vendor: one base URL, one token, many providers behind it.

How are credentials handled?

The credential is injected on the server. Your agent makes the real upstream request through treg.to's /call/ endpoint; treg.to adds the key and relays the provider's answer back verbatim. No provider key is ever written to your machine, your repo or your agent's context. Every call is recorded and attributed to the token that made it.

Can I choose a specific provider?

Yes. Every endpoint has an id, and calling it by id calls that provider. If you want the choice made once for the whole team, treg org pin <capability> --provider <provider> refuses calls to any other provider of that capability. (Providers differ more on field coverage than on price here — one returns comments, another does not. Read the endpoint before you pin one.)

Can I use my existing provider key?

Yes, and it takes precedence. Register the key once and every call to that provider routes through it — those calls are never metered against your treg.to balance. Your key always wins over treg.to's.

What happens if a provider fails?

treg.to does not silently reroute you. That is deliberate: only you know which inputs you actually hold, so treg.to relays your request rather than rewriting it. What your agent gets instead is the information to recover — it already knows the alternatives and their parameters, so on a 429, a 5xx or a timeout it can try the next provider and tell you which one it switched to. Failed calls are not billed. If a call succeeded upstream but the answer was lost coming back, an Idempotency-Key returns the stored result without paying twice. (Social endpoints are the most likely place you will see this, because they sit on top of platforms that change. The catalog's last OK column tells you which ones have answered recently.)

How much does a call cost?

Most social endpoints are $0.001 a call. Reddit search runs $0.001 to $0.01476 depending on provider. The exact price is shown before the call, and treg.to adds no markup. New teams start with $1.00 of free credit — around a thousand posts' worth of calls.

Which agents does it work with?

The installer registers treg.to's MCP server into Claude Code, Cursor and opencode automatically. Any MCP client that supports the authorization spec can connect with OAuth. Anything that can run a shell command — Codex included — can use the treg CLI or plain HTTP.
