Collect a brand’s social account

Find a brand’s official TikTok, Instagram or YouTube account, collect it when needed, and follow the job until its posts are available.

Steps

At most, per call

Start from a brand and a platform, prove which account belongs to it, then collect only when needed. Your agent follows the provider job and reads the posts when they are available.

Before this job

  • A brand name and platform; provide its website or exact profile when you know it.
  • Confirm a probable account before collection. Instagram collection supports professional accounts.
  1. Step 1: Check the brand and available data

    Read the current coverage, resolve the brand and keep accounts known only through organic posts. Use the returned brand key and the platforms actually collected.

  2. Step 2: Identify the account

    Use the platform's candidates and identity evidence. TikTok searching may need another billed check; stop after three searches. A probable Instagram account needs confirmation.

  3. Step 3: Collect only if needed

    A known or in-progress account can be reused. Quote a new collection separately, then follow its real job ID. Waiting is a live state; do not relaunch it.

  4. Step 4: Read the available posts

    Use the returned account or brand identity when the collected batch is ready. Keep partial history visible; completion does not promise exhaustive platform coverage.

One provider, the complete research job

Adspy supplies the observations and research tools for this job through your existing Agentik connection and balance.

Good to know

  • These are observed public posts. Missing counts stay unknown; rounded counts and incomplete history stay labelled.
  • TikTok and YouTube engagement is per view; Instagram engagement is per follower. Keep those bases separate.
  • Suspected paid-reach posts are shown separately and excluded from the organic figures as the provider reports them.
  • Post tags may come from video, a cover and caption, or a linked ad. Keep that provenance and do not invent a missing transcript.
  • Instagram may wait for provider capacity. Respect retryAt and assess isTerminal and isComplete rather than a processed percentage.
  • A TikTok search check can be billed even while searching. Progress reads are free. A known or pending collection does not incur a new collection charge.

When to use something else

For private reach, conversions or paid account performance, use your connected account's reporting tools. Public posts provide a different and incomplete set of observations.

Questions

What does the example cost?

At most $0.05 for the example described. New account collection and any larger volume are quoted separately. You pay the settled usage; repeated or included items can cost less.

Are AI tags billed separately?

No. Available post tags are included with the post. A missing analysis stays missing, and a cover-based analysis is identified as such.

Can the result prove business performance?

No. Public engagement, posting activity and creative reuse are observed signals. They do not establish spend, conversions, profitability or causal lift.
