Changelog

2026-08-22

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

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)

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

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

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

GitHub support: follower count, following count, and public repository count for users and organizations

Bluesky support: follower count, following count, and verified status for public accounts
Post count metric for Instagram, Bluesky, X, YouTube, TikTok, and Threads accounts

Requests pairing a platform with a resource type it doesn’t accept now return a descriptive validation message naming the incompatible pair

Resources that don’t exist on their platform are now reported with status not_found (previously unavailable)
unavailable now specifically means data for the resource could not be collected; collection is retried regularly

POST /api/v1/resources/search: retrieve datapoints for social media accounts
Resource type field distinguishes personal profiles (account) from organization pages (organization)
Token-based authentication via Authorization: Bearer header
Rate limiting: requests are capped per account over a short window to protect the API
Monthly usage quota: free tier at 500 requests / month (a higher-limit paid tier at €4.99/month is planned)
Free tier access for everyone, with no subscription or credit card required
Request validation and automatic deduplication of duplicate resources
Datapoint responses include both value and availability status
Each response entry identifies its resource by platform, type, and identifier
Resource-level status field in datapoint responses (available, pending, unavailable)

Follower count metric for all platforms
Personal profiles and company pages supported where sensible
Following count metric for Instagram, TikTok, and X
Verified boolean attribute for Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, X, and YouTube
Datapoints for known accounts are refreshed daily
