Creator analytics, from the raw numbers up

Profiles, post and video histories with the counts already pulled out — so engagement, cadence and growth are yours to compute rather than somebody else's metric to trust.

What serves this

Read from the platform registry, so nothing here is a job the API cannot currently do. Each endpoint links to its own reference.

Why raw post history beats a computed metric

Every analytics product computes an engagement rate, and no two compute it the same way. Some divide by followers, some by views, some include shares, almost none include saves because they cannot see them. When two tools disagree about a creator, the disagreement is definitional rather than factual — and neither will show you the arithmetic.

Pulling the post history yourself removes the argument. You get every post with its like count, comment count, view count and timestamp, and you compute whatever your business actually means by performance. Cadence, decay, the ratio between a creator's median and their best post — all of it is arithmetic on a table you own.

It also lets you go back. A computed metric is a number about now; a post history is a series, and the interesting questions in creator analytics — is this account growing, has engagement decayed since the sponsorship, is the good post an outlier — are all questions about a series.

How far back does a post history go?
As far as the platform serves publicly, paged. You set the limit and are billed for the results delivered, so pulling a hundred posts and pulling a thousand differ in cost but not in shape.
Do I get view counts?
Where the platform shows them publicly, yes. TikTok and YouTube expose them consistently; Instagram exposes them on video posts and not on images, which is a platform decision rather than ours.
Can I compute engagement rate from this?
Yes, and both ways — the counts you need are on every row. There is a free calculator on this site if you want to check your arithmetic against ours.
