Notes

• Data sources: Metrics come from the official social network APIs. Insights auto‑sync periodically; you can manually sync in the UI for fresher data.

• Post vs aggregate reach: Post Insights show reach per post. Charts/overview may show total reach across all posts for a time window, so numbers won’t necessarily sum 1:1.

• Engagement formula: Typically the sum of likes/reactions + comments + shares + saves + post clicks (platform‑dependent).

  • Engagement Rate (%) ≈ engagement / reach * 100

  • Click‑Through Rate (%) ≈ link_clicks / reach * 100

  • Reach Rate (%) ≈ reach / followers * 100 (where available)

• Platform differences: Not all metrics are available for all networks or account types (e.g., LinkedIn Profiles vs Pages).

• Pagination: Use page (0‑based). Each page returns 10 posts. Response includes total to compute more pages.

• Competitors: Requires competitors=true. Use competitor_id to focus on a single competitor’s posts; otherwise data may include multiple competitors (if enabled).
