Statistics, in Metrika's case, means the numbers a public profile shows to anyone who visits it: audience size, output, and a verified flag, plus the view, like, and repost counts on individual posts. This page is the inventory. If you are deciding whether the API covers the statistics you need, the answer is below, platform by platform.
What you can pull, per platform
- Instagram, TikTok, X, and Bluesky accounts: follower count, following count, post count, and verified status.
- YouTube channels: subscriber count and video count,
returned as
followersandposts, plus verified status. - Threads accounts: follower count, post count, and verified status.
- Facebook pages: follower count and verified status.
- LinkedIn personal profiles: follower count. LinkedIn company pages: follower count and employee count.
- GitHub users and organizations: follower count, following count, and public repository count.
- X posts: view, like, and repost counts. Threads and Bluesky posts: like and repost counts. YouTube videos: view and like counts.
Coverage grows over time, and the docs always carry the current availability matrix.
One vocabulary for nine platforms
Platforms disagree about names: subscribers on YouTube,
followers everywhere else; videos there, posts elsewhere.
Metrika normalises the same concept to the same field, so a
dashboard column works for every network without branching.
Counts arrive under metrics; verified status is a boolean
under attributes. Each value carries its own status and
a collected_at timestamp, plus a semantic field that
keeps the platform's own term next to the normalised name,
subscribers for a YouTube audience, so nothing is lost in
translation.
Statistics in bulk
A single call takes up to ten resources, mixing platforms freely, and counts as one request against your quota. That makes a scheduled job cheap: a brand tracked across six networks is one call a day, and the daily refresh cadence means more frequent polling buys nothing.
The statistics Metrika does not have
There are no engagement rates, impressions, watch times, or audience demographics, because public profiles do not show them. Nothing is estimated or modelled: if a platform does not display a number publicly, Metrika does not invent it. And the API returns current values, not built-in history. For the collection model, see the Social Media API overview; for the headline datapoint, see follower counts.
