Overview
This skill has your AI agent fetch recent public posts from an account on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads or Bluesky through the ScrapeCreators API. It compares each post with that account's median, labels the posts that beat it by 1.5 times or more, and looks at hooks, topics and formats to explain them. Creators and social media managers get a ranked report with links, repeatable patterns and content ideas.
It judges each post against the account's own median rather than raw views, so a small account's hits are not buried by a big one.

| Recent posts | Public posts and their metrics from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, LinkedIn and more | ScrapeCreators API |
| Account baseline | The account's median views or engagement, worked out per platform | Fetched posts |
| Outlier labels | Posts marked mild (1.5-2x), strong (2-5x) or huge (5x and up) against the median | Fetched posts |
| Reasons | Notes on hook, topic, format and timing for each outlier | Fetched posts |
| Transcripts and comments | Fetched for the top posts when useful, to check hooks and audience reaction | ScrapeCreators API |
| Report | A ranked table with links, repeatable patterns and content ideas | Fetched posts |
Good to know
You want to learn from a creator's or competitor's unusual hits. The skill pulls at least 20 recent posts when available, works out the account's normal performance and reports the posts that beat it, with the likely reasons.
Limits
- Each API request uses ScrapeCreators credits, and only public posts and public metrics are available.
- With fewer than 10 posts the skill marks its confidence as low. Treat the reasons it gives as likely, not proven.
