Pulls real hashtag post performance and public profile stats via Apify so you can see which formats are actually traveling in your niche.

What it does
- Niche pulse: ranks top posts under a hashtag by likes + comments and names the shared pattern behind the winners (hook shape, caption length, image vs carousel vs Reel, presence of a specific number).
- Profile read: fetches followers, following, post count, bio, category, verified and business flags for any handle — yours or a competitor's.
- Honest benchmark: normalizes by follower count so a small account's breakout isn't buried under a mega-account's average.
- Action list: which format to make more of, which accounts to watch, what to route to the caption or carousel skills.
- Stated limit: Instagram gates who liked or commented on other accounts' posts, so this is discovery + public profile stats, not an engager roster.
Who it's for
- Marketers, creators and brand managers running Instagram accounts
- Anyone who wants data-backed competitor sizing instead of eyeballing
- Teams deciding content direction from numbers rather than vibes
Usage examples
- "Scan #homebarista and tell me what format is working right now" → ranked top-20 posts plus the recurring hook pattern
- "Pull stats for this competitor and compare to my account" → normalized benchmark on followers, post count and cadence
- No Apify token? Paste the posts or profile numbers you already have and the same analysis runs on them
