# Introduction

> One API for structured data from LinkedIn, X (Twitter), and Reddit.

## What is Bridgly?

Bridgly turns the public web into clean JSON. Point it at a LinkedIn profile, a
tweet, or a subreddit and get back structured data you can drop straight into
your app — no browsers to run, no proxies to rotate, no markup to parse.

## Why teams use it

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Consistent shapes" icon="brackets-curly">
    Every endpoint returns the same envelope with a typed `data` payload, so you
    write your parsing once.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Pay per call" icon="coins">
    A flat one credit per request. No subscriptions, no per-platform tiers, and
    credits never expire.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Nothing to operate" icon="server">
    We handle the browsers, sessions, and anti-bot handling. You send a POST.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Fast to integrate" icon="bolt">
    A single bearer token and one request shape. You can be live in minutes.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an API key">
    Sign in to your dashboard and generate a key. It looks like `bgly_…` and is
    shown once.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Call an endpoint">
    Send a `POST` with a JSON body to any endpoint, authenticated with your key.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use the JSON">
    Read the `data` field from the response. Each call costs one credit.
  </Step>
</Steps>
