Getting Started

FetchLayer gives you REST APIs for Reddit, Twitter, App Store, YouTube, Google Maps, and Google Play — all behind one API key. Pick whichever path fits how you work.

Choose your path

Three ways to use FetchLayer — pick the one that matches how you build.

MCP Server

Connect Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP client. One server, every platform — no glue code.

Set up MCP →

Playground

Test any endpoint in your browser — no API key needed. See real responses instantly.

Open playground →

REST API

Call endpoints directly with curl or the TypeScript SDK. Full control, any language.

Claude — one-click setup

If you use Claude Desktop or Claude Code, FetchLayer's MCP server can be added directly — no manual JSON editing.

API quickstart

Three steps to your first real API response.

1

Create your API key

Sign up and generate a key from your dashboard. Free tier included — no credit card required.

3

Make your first call

Here's a Reddit search example. The same pattern works for every platform — just change the base URL and endpoint.

curl -X POST https://api.fetchlayer.dev/reddit/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ss-your-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"developer tools","sort":"top","limit":5}'

Tip

The free tier includes 30 requests so you can validate the API for real before paying anything. After that it's pay-as-you-go at $1.99 per 1,000 requests — no subscription required.

TypeScript SDKs

Typed SDKs for the platforms that have them — same auth, same response shapes as the REST API.
