PostLake analytics

Read social media performance from PostLake — per-post results and normalised cross-platform analytics (impressions, reach, engagement, CTR, follower growth). Use to report on results or decide what to post next.

Two views: a single post's performance, and normalised cross-platform analytics over a period so an agent can compare networks and decide what to post next.

Returns per-platform metrics for that post (impressions, likes, comments, shares, saves, clicks (whatever the platform exposes), in one normalised shape.

Cross-platform analytics

bash

curl "https://api.postlake.dev/v1/analytics?period=30d" \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer $POSTLAKE_API_KEY"

period is 7d, 30d (default), or 90d. Returns totals plus a per-platform breakdown (impressions, reach, engagement rate, CTR, saves, and follower growth) already normalised so you can benchmark networks against each other.

How to use it well

• When asked "how did X do?", fetch per-post analytics and summarise the strongest metric per platform.
• When asked "what should I post next?", pull cross-platform analytics, find which network + content type has the best engagement/CTR, and recommend accordingly.
• Metrics are as fresh as each platform reports; some lag a few hours after posting.
