Step 4: Make an API Key Auth request
Click on 'Make an API Key Auth request' to create an API key. This key will be used to authenticate your requests to SocialScrape's API.
Step 5: Name your API Key
Name your API key to make it easy to identify later.
Step 6: Insert API Key parameter name
In the API Key parameter name field, insert 'X-Api-Key'. This is the name that SocialScrape's API expects for the authentication header.
Step 7: Create a SocialScrape account and Generate API key

Step 9: Add name and value to Query string section
Expand the Query string section and add the name and value for the data you want to scrape. For example, if you want to scrape posts from a specific Instagram account, you would add 'username' as the name and the username as the value.
Step 10: Tick Yes to parse the response
Finally, tick 'Yes' to parse the response. This will ensure that the data is extracted from the API response and can be used in your Make.com scenario.
