# Audit three competitors on every social network. Rhythm, formats, engagement and best posts

A competitor social audit compares how rivals post on each network and what works for them. With Agentik, your AI reads their Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn through ScrapeCreators, their YouTube videos through TikHub, and their X profiles and posts through the X API.

- For: Social media and brand teams
- Providers: 3 (ScrapeCreators, TikHub and X), 7 tools
- Example (Three competitors on five platforms, their latest posts on each, 20 X posts each): at most $1.02, computed from the live catalog
- Updated: 2026-10-10

## Each provider does one part

No single provider covers this job. Through Agentik your AI calls each one for its part, from one connection and one prepaid balance.

- **ScrapeCreators** (4 tools, at most $0.03): Instagram profiles and posts, TikTok videos and LinkedIn company posts.
- **TikHub** (1 tool, at most $0.003): YouTube channel videos with views and dates.
- **X** (2 tools, at most $0.99): X profiles and recent posts with their metrics.

## Give this to your agent

Use my connected Agentik MCP server for this job: competitor social audit.

Audit three competitors on social media. First ask me for the three competitors and their handles on each platform.

Read their Instagram profiles with scrapecreators/get-v1-instagram-profile and posts with scrapecreators/get-v2-instagram-user-posts, their TikToks with scrapecreators/get-v3-tiktok-profile-videos, their LinkedIn posts with scrapecreators/get-v1-linkedin-company-posts, and their YouTube videos with tikhub/youtube-web-v2-get-channel-videos. Read their X profiles with x/users-by-usernames and posts with x/user-posts.

Finish with a table per platform (followers, posts per week, formats, average engagement), each competitor’s three best posts and why, and gaps we can take.

Before running anything, inspect each tool with inspect_tool, ask me for any input you don’t have instead of inventing it, and tell me the total price. Wait for my go. At the end, tell me what Agentik charged.

## Ask it your way

- How often do my three competitors post on Instagram and TikTok, and what works for them?
- Which formats get the most engagement for Competitor A?
- Where are my competitors absent that we could own?
- Show me each competitor’s three best posts this month and why they worked.

## Why through Agentik

- Five networks come from ScrapeCreators, TikHub and the X API through one connection.
- X posts are most of the price, billed per post returned; the X profiles cost a few cents and the other reads a fraction of a cent.

## Good to know

- Engagement is read from public counts; private metrics such as reach are not available.
- X posts are billed per post returned; your agent quotes them first.

## When to use something else

For continuous benchmarking with dashboards, use a social analytics suite. This playbook gives a dated snapshot with the reasons behind the numbers.

## Competitor social audit: questions

### What does the example cost?

At most $1.02, mostly the X posts.
