The questions it answers
The ones a marketing team asks every week.
- 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.
Three steps
Once the skill is installed, one sentence starts it.
- 1
Show the plan first
Free, and needs no key: the most calls and the most money this run can come to.
dataxapi run competitors platform=tiktok accounts=nasa,natgeo --plan - 2
Run it, capped at that amount
Each line is one endpoint of the example run, at its listed price. A call that fails is not charged. The run stops rather than spend more than its cap.
tiktok/users/videos/listtiktok/users/get - 3
Line everything up in one table
13 columns, the same on every platform; a column a platform does not give is empty. No call, no cost.

What a run costs
Competitor account monitoring: What did competitors post this week, and which post took off?
Worked out from the catalog's prices, with the example inputs: platform = tiktok · accounts = nasa, natgeo. You pay for the calls actually made; whether an empty result is charged is on each endpoint's page. What your AI itself costs is not counted here.
Say this to your AI
Once DataXAPI is connected, any of these works.
dataxapi-competitorsGets the latest page of posts of each account, with each post's engagement figures, as one table; every account is one call charged on its own. What is new since last time and which post is rising is for your own agent or spreadsheet to work out.

- Open every profile on every platform and scroll.
- Copy views and likes into a sheet by hand.
- Last week's numbers are wherever someone saved them.
- Ask one question in the AI you already use.
- One call an account reads its latest posts, with the same fields on every platform.
- Every row links to the post, and the same question works again next week.
Questions
From marketers, not developers.
Do I need to write code?
No. You paste one prompt into your AI to connect it, then ask in plain words. Code is there if your team wants it: every row in the table above is one GET.
What does it cost?
The example run of Competitor account monitoring makes 2 calls and costs at most $0.0040. Run it every day for 30 days and that is $0.12. There is no subscription, and a failed call is never charged.
Can it see private accounts, or data behind a login?
No. It reads what anyone can see on the platform: public posts, public counts, comments, and the ads the platforms publish in their ad libraries. It cannot post, message or sign in to an account.
Which platforms does it cover?
