Introducing CrawlHub: Real-Time Web Intelligence for Every Team Watching the World

The open web is the largest underutilized intelligence surface in existence. Every minute, brands, individuals, governments, communities, journalists, and threat actors publish signals on X, Telegram, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, and dozens of other public platforms. Most of those signals never become actionable evidence — not because they're hidden, but because nobody had the infrastructure to collect them at the moment they mattered.

That's why we built CrawlHub.

What CrawlHub does

CrawlHub is a real-time web intelligence platform that lets you stream public data from the platforms shaping modern conversation. We handle the proxies, anti-bot systems, rate limits, parsing, and normalization. You get clean, structured records — via API or dashboard — in real time.

You query via REST API or schedule crawls via the dashboard. Records arrive as JSON, push to webhooks, or stream into your S3 / Postgres / Snowflake pipeline.

How it works

Three steps. Nothing magic.

  1. Pick your platform and query. Choose from the catalog. Configure target accounts, hashtags, keywords, geos, or custom selectors.
  2. CrawlHub does the dirty work. Proxies, anti-bot, rate limits, parsing, normalization — all handled. You don't see the chaos.
  3. Stream into your stack. JSON via REST, webhook to your endpoint, or push to S3 / Postgres / your warehouse — in real time.

Who CrawlHub is for

We built CrawlHub for any team whose job depends on knowing what's happening on the open web before everyone else does.

Brand Intelligence

Track mentions, sentiment, and emerging narratives across every major platform. Catch a viral complaint at second zero, not after it lands in a press cycle. Plug into your existing brand-monitoring stack or build something better on top.

Competitive Intelligence

Monitor competitors' content cadence, hiring signals (LinkedIn), product launches, audience movements, and conversation shifts in near-real-time. Surface what they're saying — and what their customers are saying back.

Threat Intelligence

Surface threats, leaked credentials, phishing campaigns, coordinated chatter, and OSINT indicators before they escalate. Feed CrawlHub records into your existing SIEM, SOAR, threat-intel platform, or analyst dashboards.

Crypto & Web3 Intelligence

Real-time signal on tokens, projects, founders, and communities — across X, Telegram channels, and Discord-adjacent surfaces. Track whale movements, narrative shifts, rug pulls, and emerging chains as they happen.

Election & Disinformation Monitoring

Track campaigns, narratives, geographically-targeted ads, and coordinated inauthentic activity at scale. Built for newsrooms, academic researchers, election integrity teams, and platform safety units.

News & Media Monitoring

Comprehensive coverage of breaking events across platforms and languages. Surface verifiable signals from public posts before they reach mainstream outlets — and source the underlying conversation directly.

And the long tail

Influencer discovery, market research, lead generation, academic research, government and law-enforcement workflows — anywhere public-web data is the input, CrawlHub is the pipe.

Why CrawlHub vs. the alternatives

The web-crawling market is full of legacy tools designed for batch scraping, expensive enterprise contracts, or ad-hoc workflows that fall over the moment a platform changes its anti-bot regime. We built CrawlHub for teams that need:

  • Real-time delivery — webhook-first, sub-second to a few minutes per platform.
  • Production-grade reliability — battle-tested crawlers that survive bot detection, rate limits, and platform churn.
  • Cost transparency — pay-per-record pricing, free tier, no enterprise sales call required to evaluate.
  • Built for engineers and operators — REST API for devs, dashboard for non-technical users.
  • Compliance-first — only public data, ever. No private accounts, no platform safety bypasses.

Try it

Pay-as-you-go starts at $1.79 per 1,000 records — no commitment, no credit card required to test. Hit the API in minutes:

Welcome to the platform. We're glad you're here.
