Changelog

2026-10-10

API

  • GitHub accounts now return their public repository count as posts, with semantic set to repositories, replacing the separate repositories datapoint

Data

  • Resources are now only reported as not_found after repeated checks confirm they don’t exist, fixing Facebook, Instagram, and Threads accounts that were incorrectly reported as not_found
  • Fixed missing counts for Facebook, Instagram, and Threads accounts with exactly one follower, post, or thread
  • Age-restricted Instagram profiles no longer include verified status, which isn’t publicly visible for them

2026-10-03

API

  • Failed requests no longer count toward your monthly quota: only successful requests are counted

  • Malformed X handles are now rejected with a descriptive validation error: X handles may only contain letters, numbers, and underscores

  • Snapchat support: subscriber count and verified status for public profiles
  • Pinterest support: follower count and pin count for accounts

  • Twitch support: follower count, video count, and verified status (Twitch Partner) for channels

2026-08-22

API

  • Every datapoint now includes a semantic field: the platform’s own term for what the value counts (YouTube followers are subscribers, TikTok posts are videos), so your UI can speak the platform’s language while your code speaks one schema

Data

  • Bluesky post support: like and repost counts for individual posts, identified as handle:post_id
  • Fixed an issue that could interrupt X post data collection. X sometimes reports only rounded counts (1.2K) for a post; when that happens the rounded figure is returned expanded (1200)

2026-08-15

API

  • New stale resource status: returned when a resource has previously collected data but recent collection attempts are failing. Existing datapoints stay in the response and collection is retried regularly
  • Malformed identifiers — pasted profile URLs, profile.php?id=… fragments, numeric Facebook profile ids, @-prefixed handles — are now rejected with a descriptive validation error instead of being accepted and returning no data

Data

  • Fixed an issue that could interrupt YouTube data collection

2026-08-08

API

  • New post resource type for tracking individual posts alongside accounts and organizations

Data

  • X post support: exact view, like, and repost counts for individual posts, identified as handle:post_id
  • YouTube post support: view and like counts for individual videos, identified by the video id
  • Threads post support: like and repost counts for individual threads, identified as handle:post_id

Dashboard

  • Fixed an issue that could prevent account deletion from completing

2026-07-25

API

  • Resources that don’t exist on their platform are now reported with status not_found (previously unavailable)
