What is Social Tracker?
Schedule recurring snapshots of any public Facebook page or group (Instagram pages too) and watch how follower counts, post engagement, and reach trend over time. Built for competitive monitoring, influencer due diligence, and "is this campaign actually moving the needle?" questions where point-in-time numbers don't tell you anything. Set a target, pick a cadence, get alerts when something changes.
Engagement per post
Likes, comments, shares per post — see which content types actually perform for the pages you track. Sort by engagement velocity to find content while it's still climbing.
Alerts on change
Set a threshold (follower delta, engagement spike, post velocity) and get an email or webhook when it's crossed. Use the webhook to push into Slack, Discord, or your internal monitoring channel.
Group activity
Track member count and posting volume on public Facebook groups. Useful for measuring community growth, spotting partnership opportunities, or auditing influencer claims.
Programmatic access — same data, your code
Everything the tracker UI displays is also accessible via the SocialAPIs REST API. If you'd rather pipe the historical data straight into BigQuery, Postgres, or n8n / Make / Zapier, hit the endpoints directly:
curl -X GET https://api.socialapis.io/v1/facebook/page-details \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
-d 'page_id=YOUR_TARGET_PAGE'Frequently asked questions
What does Social Tracker monitor?
Facebook pages and groups, today — follower count, post engagement (likes / comments / shares per post), and aggregated reach over time. Instagram is live as a tracked source too. TikTok, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and YouTube are on the near-term roadmap and will be added without breaking the existing tracker configuration.
How is this different from Facebook's own page insights?
Facebook's native insights only work for pages you own. Social Tracker monitors any public page or group — competitors, prospects, partners — using the same data SocialAPIs returns from the REST API. No OAuth, no admin access needed on the target page.
How often does the data refresh?
Configurable per tracked item: hourly, daily, or weekly. Hourly is the right default for active competitive monitoring; weekly is plenty for a long-tail watchlist of 100+ pages. Each refresh consumes credits against your plan.
Can I get alerts when something changes?
Yes — set a threshold (follower count delta, post velocity, engagement spike) and we'll email you when it's crossed. Webhook alerts to Slack / Discord / your own endpoint are on the Pro plan and above.
Can I use the same monitoring data programmatically?
Yes. Every metric the tracker UI shows is also available via the SocialAPIs REST API at /api-sources, so you can pipe historical tracking data into BigQuery, Postgres, an internal dashboard, or an n8n / Make workflow. The browser UI is just a thin layer over the same endpoints.
