# Know what your competitors posted this week, and what worked

Competitor monitoring with DataXAPI: 2 ready-made Skills on 17 platforms. The example run makes 2 calls and costs at most $0.0040; a failed call is never charged.

## Who it is for

For brand, content and growth teams who check rival accounts by hand every Monday. Your AI reads their accounts where they post and hands you the week as one table with links.

- **Brand and content teams**: Owe a competitor update every Monday: what rivals posted, and which post took off.
- **Growth and performance**: Want the angles that worked for rivals, to test in the next batch of creatives.
- **Agencies and consultants**: Build competitor reviews for clients without screenshotting profile after profile.

## The questions it answers

- **What did each competitor post this week?** Every recent post of every account you name, with its engagement figures, in one table.
- **Which posts beat their usual numbers?** Views, likes, comments and shares sit side by side, so your AI can compare each post with that account's own average.
- **How is one account doing overall?** Followers, total posts and the latest page of posts, for a rival or for your own account.

Every Skill hands back one table. These are its columns, and what each one holds.
