Give your AI agents real-time social data with one API

Building with LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, or OpenClaw? Weld gives your agents structured profile and post data from 11 platforms — no Brightdata datasets to manage, no scraper maintenance, just clean JSON your tools can consume.

The problems you're facing

Sound familiar? You're not alone.

LLMs don't know what's happening now

Your agent's knowledge cutoff is months old. It can't tell you what a prospect tweeted yesterday, what a competitor posted this morning, or who just changed jobs on LinkedIn.

Scraping infra is not your product

You're building an AI agent, not a scraping service. But you've spent weeks integrating Brightdata, managing proxy rotation, and parsing HTML instead of improving your agent's reasoning.

One tool per platform

LinkedIn data from one API, Instagram from another, TikTok from a third. Each returns a different schema. Your agent needs a switch statement just to handle the responses.

Rate limits break agent loops

Your agent runs an enrichment loop across 500 leads. Halfway through, the scraping API rate-limits you and the entire workflow crashes. No retry logic, no graceful degradation.

How Weld solves this

One API, all platforms, pay per result

One tool call for any platform

Define a single Weld tool in LangChain/CrewAI. Pass a scraper slug and URLs, get structured JSON back. LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, GitHub, Crunchbase — same schema, same call pattern.

Agent-ready JSON responses

Weld returns clean, structured JSON — names, titles, bios, follower counts, post content, engagement metrics. No HTML parsing. Your agent can reason over the data immediately.

Predictable per-call costs

Every scrape has a fixed credit cost. Your agent can calculate costs before executing, enforce budgets per task, and report spend per user. No surprise bills from proxy overages.
