ScrapeCreators authenticated call
Grader reports lose their social section — reports still complete.
An authenticated request consumes paid credits, so it stays off. The liveness check above covers the outage case for free; credit balance is watched in the vendor dashboard.
What it is
The only optional provider in a scan. app/api/grader/social/route.ts returns 503 without a key, and the scan records the social step as skipped with low confidence rather than failing. Reports are explicitly designed to be valid without it — "Confirmed social profile data" appears in missingCriticalData and the narrative works around it.
Detection first, scrape second
lib/social-name-search.ts tries to identify the right handle before anything is scraped, so a wrong-profile match is rarer than a missing one. When detection is not confident, the step is skipped — a wrong social profile in a sales report is worse than no social profile.
When it breaks
Symptom
Social section never appears
