Social Accounts

Get account metrics

Fetch analytics and metrics for a connected social account. Returns follower counts, engagement metrics, and platform-specific statistics.

Supported Metrics by Platform:

  • Instagram: followers, following, media count, engagement (views, likes, comments, shares, saves, reach, accounts_engaged, total_interactions), and follower_growth (followers_gained, followers_lost, net_follower_change, daily_new_followers) - requires Business/Creator account with instagram_business_manage_insights permission (supports date range). Instagram omits follower growth for accounts with fewer than 100 followers; those fields are null and listed in follower_growth.unavailable_fields
  • Facebook: page followers/fans, engagement (impressions, reach, post_engagements) - requires pages_read_engagement and read_insights, supports date range. Since Meta's June 2026 deprecation, impressions and reach are derived from media views and read lower than the retired impression metrics; metrics Meta did not return are listed in platform_specific.insights_unavailable
  • Threads: followers, engagement (views, likes, replies, reposts, quotes) - supports date range
  • LinkedIn: followers (personal & organization), engagement for organizations (likes, comments, shares, clicks, impressions, engagement_rate) - requires rw_organization_admin permission, supports date range
  • TikTok: followers, following, total likes, video count - current snapshot only, no date range support
  • YouTube: subscribers, total views, video count - lifetime statistics only, no date range support
  • X (Twitter): followers, following, tweet count (current snapshot), plus engagement (views, likes, comments, shares, quotes) aggregated from up to 500 of the account's own tweets posted within the date range. Aggregation is best-effort and may be unavailable under X API rate limits or tier restrictions. Cost note: this reads posts from your connected X app and counts against your X API quota / pay-per-use cost (~$0.005 per post read); a busy account can cost up to ~$2.50 per call. Date range supported.
  • BlueSky: followers, following, posts count - current snapshot only (Bluesky exposes no time-series analytics, so the date range is ignored). No engagement metrics.
  • Pinterest: followers, following, pin count (posts_count includes both created and saved pins, per Pinterest's API), engagement (views/impressions, saves, pin_clicks, outbound_clicks); full daily analytics available under platform_specific. Date range supported.

Date Range: Use since and until query parameters for platforms that support historical data. Defaults to last 30 days.
