Why Refetcher

Built for builders,
not billing departments.

01 · Drop-in

One header. Every endpoint.

A single X-API-Key header authenticates everything — no OAuth dance, no SDK to install. It's just HTTP.

~/project
$ curl "https://api.refetcher.com/" \
   -H "X-API-Key: pc_live_••••" \
   -d '{"url":"https://tiktok.com/@u/video/73…"}'
02 · Reliable
99.97%

Success rate

Multi-region infrastructure with automatic failover — clean, consistent responses even under heavy load.

03 · Your balance, forever

Pay as you go.

No subscriptions. No expiring balance. Add funds when you need to, then spend them two days — or two years — from now. They'll still be there.

04 · Always on

Real-time uptime.

Live numbers scraped at request time, on infrastructure that doesn't blink.

05 · Only pay for results

Failed scrapes are free.

Most scraping APIs bill you for every call — even when it returns nothing. You only ever pay for a successful scrape.

What people
are saying.

"After weeks fighting proxies and broken scrapers, I swapped to Refetcher and shipped in an afternoon. Fast, reliable, and I only pay for what I actually pull."
Julian Arthur

"We verify clipper payouts against real view counts now. It paid for itself in the first week."

Mara Devlin
@maraships

"The no-subscription model is the whole reason we switched. Credits that don't vanish each month — finally."

Toby Renner
@tobybuilds

"Latency is genuinely fast and the JSON is clean. Dropped it straight into our analytics pipeline."
