# Social media link inspector

Paste a link from TikTok, Instagram and X or 14 more platforms and see which platform it is, whether it points at a post or an account, and which SocialToAI calls and tools read it, with their credits. It runs in your browser and sends nothing; running a call needs an account.

Paste a link to a post, a video or an account. The inspector tells which platform it is, what the link points at and the ID or handle in it, then lists the calls and ready-made tools that read it and their credits.

## What happens to the link

Nothing leaves your browser: the link is matched against the patterns below on this page. Sign in to run keeps it in this tab for the Playground, never in an address, and nothing runs until you press Run there.

Short links (the kind an app's share button gives) are not expanded here; open them in a browser first. Account links on some platforms carry a name the calls do not take: the platform's page says which ID each call needs.
