Should I use social media APIs or a general scraper?

When you need public data from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or other social platforms, how do you decide between platform-specific APIs and a general web-scraping tool ?

Right now I’m thinking about integration , reliability, platform coverage, customization, and whether I might need to scrape regular websites later.
