# Utility Browse Capabilities API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/utility/capabilities)

> Every cross-cutting parameter, once: the label presets for comments, posts and reviews (which are free by default and which are metered), relevance, judgments, include, since and stop_at_id, recent_days, the row filters, seen, trim, download_media, market and fit. Each entry says what the parameter does, what it costs, and lists every endpoint that supports it, so a search for a capability (sentiment, buyers, recent posts only) lands on the lanes that have it. Generated from the endpoint registry at request time. Free to call.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/utility/capabilities` costs Free (0 credits) and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## FAQ

### What does the Browse Capabilities API return?

Returns every parameter that works across endpoints (label presets, relevance, include, since, trim and more) with what it does, what it costs, and every endpoint that supports it. The response uses the same JSON envelope as every SocialCrawl endpoint, with the data, credits_used and request_id fields.

### When should I use the Browse Capabilities endpoint?

Use it when you know what you need done (judge sentiment, keep only relevant rows, poll only new posts) but not which endpoints can do it. Free to call.

This endpoint is free to call and uses no credits. Every new account still gets 100 free credits for the paid endpoints. Credits for failed or empty calls are refunded automatically, and there is no subscription.
