How to Build a Cross-Platform Search Pipeline

Search Google, YouTube, Reddit, Amazon, and TikTok from one API. Python example for multi-platform content research at $0.025/topic.

Build a cross-platform search pipeline that queries Google, YouTube, Reddit, Amazon, and TikTok for any topic using one API key. Cost: $0.025/topic (5 platform queries at $0.005 each). Get a complete view of how a topic appears across the web.

Prerequisites

  • Scavio API key
  • Python 3.8+ or Node.js 18+

Walkthrough

Step 1: Search across platforms

Query the same topic on multiple platforms.

Python
import requests, os

H = {'x-api-key': os.environ['SCAVIO_API_KEY'], 'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
BASE = 'https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1'

def cross_platform_search(topic):
    results = {}
    # Google SERP
    g = requests.post(f'{BASE}/search', headers=H,
        json={'query': topic, 'country_code': 'us'}).json()
    results['google'] = [r['title'] for r in g.get('organic_results', [])[:3]]
    # YouTube
    y = requests.post(f'{BASE}/search', headers=H,
        json={'query': topic, 'platform': 'youtube'}).json()
    results['youtube'] = [r.get('title', '') for r in y.get('organic_results', [])[:3]]
    # Reddit
    r = requests.post(f'{BASE}/search', headers=H,
        json={'query': topic, 'platform': 'reddit'}).json()
    results['reddit'] = [r.get('title', '') for r in r.get('organic_results', [])[:3]]
    return results

for platform, titles in cross_platform_search('best crm 2026').items():
    print(f'\n{platform}:')
    for t in titles:
        print(f'  - {t}')

Python Example

Python
import requests, os

H = {'x-api-key': os.environ['SCAVIO_API_KEY'], 'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
BASE = 'https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1'

def multi_platform(topic):
    platforms = ['google', 'youtube', 'reddit', 'amazon']
    report = {}
    for p in platforms:
        params = {'query': topic, 'country_code': 'us'}
        if p != 'google': params['platform'] = p
        data = requests.post(f'{BASE}/search', headers=H, json=params).json()
        report[p] = {
            'results': len(data.get('organic_results', [])),
            'top_3': [r.get('title', '')[:50] for r in data.get('organic_results', [])[:3]],
        }
    # TikTok via dedicated endpoint
    tt = requests.post(f'{BASE}/tiktok/search/videos',
        headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["SCAVIO_API_KEY"]}',
                 'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
        json={'keyword': topic, 'count': 5}).json()
    report['tiktok'] = {
        'results': len(tt.get('data', {}).get('videos', [])),
        'top_3': [v.get('desc', '')[:50] for v in tt.get('data', {}).get('videos', [])[:3]],
    }
    return report

report = multi_platform('project management tools')
for p, d in report.items():
    print(f"{p}: {d['results']} results")

JavaScript Example

JavaScript
const H = {'x-api-key': process.env.SCAVIO_API_KEY, 'Content-Type': 'application/json'};
async function multiPlatform(topic) {
  const platforms = ['google', 'youtube', 'reddit', 'amazon'];
  const report = {};
  for (const p of platforms) {
    const params = {query: topic, country_code: 'us'};
    if (p !== 'google') params.platform = p;
    const r = await fetch('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search', {
      method: 'POST', headers: H, body: JSON.stringify(params)
    }).then(r => r.json());
    report[p] = (r.organic_results || []).slice(0, 3).map(r => r.title?.slice(0, 50));
  }
  console.log(report);
}
multiPlatform('project management tools');

Expected Output

JSON
Cross-platform search results showing how a topic appears on Google, YouTube, Reddit, Amazon, and TikTok. Useful for content strategy and market research.

Most developers complete this tutorial in 15 to 30 minutes. You will need a Scavio API key (free tier works) and a working Python or JavaScript environment.

Scavio API key. Python 3.8+ or Node.js 18+. A Scavio API key gives you 250 free credits per month.

Yes. The free tier includes 250 credits per month, which is more than enough to complete this tutorial and prototype a working solution.

Scavio has a native LangChain package (langchain-scavio), an MCP server, and a plain REST API that works with any HTTP client. This tutorial uses the raw REST API, but you can adapt to your framework of choice.
