Social module
Social feed API for posts, stories, likes, and profiles
Ship social posts, stories, likes, comments, saves, blocks, and profiles on ChefSphere. Prepaid tokens from $29. Early access.

Community as a product surface
ChefSphere social feed APIs cover posts, stories, likes, comments, saves, blocks, and profiles—the engagement layer creator, fitness, social, and commerce apps expect. You should not rebuild a social network from scratch just to attach comments to posts, catalogs, or creator profiles. The module sits beside media uploads, moderation reports, and realtime notifications so community feels native rather than bolted on after launch.
This guide focuses on social graph and feed intent: how users create, react, and manage relationships inside your product. It is not the moderation workflow guide and not the realtime push guide, even though healthy communities need both. Keep those intents separate so staffing and prepaid planning stay honest about write volume versus notification fanout.
Posts, stories, and profile semantics
Posts and stories need authorship, media references, and visibility rules your clients can enforce without inventing privacy mid-sprint. Likes, comments, and saves need idempotent behavior and clear ownership so support can explain what happened when a reaction disappears. Blocks and profiles need relationship edges that protect users without turning every feed into an unmoderated free-for-all.
Social post creates sit above cheap catalog reads on the prepaid token table because writes mutate timelines and fanout state. Still, they are typically lighter than AI vision or marketplace checkout, which is why many apps can afford healthy engagement volume on Growth packs. Packs start at $29 for 200,000 tokens once early access is granted; unused tokens stay on the shared balance between campaigns.
Pair social with media when image-first feeds define the product, and pair with moderation when public UGC is on by default. Pair with realtime push when likes and comments should notify without opening the app constantly. Early access onboarding is where we align which engagement surfaces are version one versus noisy nice-to-haves.
X-API-Key billing and early access
Authenticate with an X-API-Key in the Firebase-style model and burn prepaid tokens per call against one shared balance across nineteen modules. Unused tokens stay available when engagement dips between seasons, which is common for consumer and creator products. Enterprise from $300 per month is available when dedicated limits or custom weights are required for high-volume feeds.
Request access, describe your audience and whether public posting is in version one, and we email when onboarding opens. Illustrative OpenAPI samples help you plan shapes; production contracts follow access so you integrate against the real social surface.
Ship community with guardrails
Define what can be posted, who can comment, and how blocks work before marketing an unlimited community your moderation staffing cannot support. Those product rules matter more than decorative feed animations and more than any sample snippet in illustrative docs. A social surface without policy becomes app-store risk and brand damage faster than you think.
Related guides on moderation, media, and realtime push complete the community stack for safety, assets, and notifications. Request early access with rough daily active user estimates and which social surfaces are must-have for launch. We will contact you when keys and packs are available.

Common questions
- Does social include moderation?
- Social covers feed and relationship surfaces. Reports, review queues, and appeals live in the moderation module. Most public communities should pair both—tell us your audience rules when requesting early access.
- How are social writes billed?
- Calls authenticate with an X-API-Key and burn prepaid tokens. Social post creates cost more than catalog reads but typically less than AI vision or checkout. Use the published weight table to model engagement volume.
- Can I ship profiles without a full feed?
- You can start narrow with profiles and light engagement. Confirm which surfaces you need in version one during early-access onboarding so keys and docs match your MVP.
- When can I integrate social APIs?
- After early access is granted and keys are provisioned. Until then, plan with illustrative docs and request access with your community model described.
