Social Media Metrics

Fetch follower counts and social media metrics from 11+ platforms using profile URLs or nicknames, including Bilibili, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and more.

Description

Fetch follower counts and metrics from 11+ social media platforms. Supports input via profile URL or account nickname. Platforms include Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Douyin, WeChat Video, Kuaishou, iQiyi, Xiaohongshu, Bilibili, Toutiao, and Baijiahao.

When to Use

• When the user asks for follower counts or social media metrics
• When the user mentions "粉丝数", "粉丝量", "followers", "subscriber count"
• When the user provides a social media profile URL and wants to know the metrics
• When the user asks to compare follower counts across platforms
• NOT for posting content or managing social media accounts

Prerequisites

• Python 3.9+
• pip packages: requests, playwright, beautifulsoup4 (install via pip install -r requirements.txt)
• Playwright browsers: run playwright install chromium after installing the package
• Recommended: Google Chrome installed on the system — Douyin, Kuaishou, and Xiaohongshu use Chrome's CDP (DevTools Protocol) mode for better anti-detection. If Chrome is not installed, Playwright's bundled Chromium will be used as an automatic fallback
• Optional: YOUTUBE_API_KEY environment variable for YouTube Data API (falls back to browser scraping if not set)

Instructions

Step 1: Ensure dependencies are installed

Check if the required packages are available. If not, install them:

cd <skill_directory>
pip install -r requirements.txt
playwright install chromium

Step 2: Determine input type

From the user's message, determine:

• URL input: If the user provides a URL (e.g., https://space.bilibili.com/946974), use --url
• Nickname input: If the user provides a name (e.g., "MrBeast"), use --nickname and --platform

Step 3: Run the script

Fetch by URL:

python <skill_directory>/scripts/main.py --url "https://space.bilibili.com/946974"

Fetch by nickname (platform required):

python <skill_directory>/scripts/main.py --nickname "MrBeast" --platform bilibili

Available --platform values: bilibili, youtube, douyin, kuaishou, xiaohongshu, wechat_video, tiktok, instagram, toutiao, baijiahao, iqiyi

Step 4: Parse and present results

The script outputs JSON to stdout. Parse it and present the results in a user-friendly format.

Success response:

{
  "platform": "bilibili",
  "username": "MrBeast",
  "uid": "946974",
  "url": "https://space.bilibili.com/946974",
  "metrics": {
    "followers": 12345678
  },
  "fetched_at": "2026-03-13T12:00:00+00:00",
  "success": true,
  "error": null
}

Error response:

{
  "platform": "bilibili",
  "username": null,
  "uid": null,
  "url": null,
  "metrics": {},
  "fetched_at": "2026-03-13T12:00:00+00:00",
  "success": false,
  "error": "Description of the error"
}

Platform-Specific Notes

Xiaohongshu (小红书) — Login Required

Xiaohongshu requires an authenticated session to view search results and profile pages. The script uses a real Chrome instance (via CDP) with a persistent profile at ~/.playwright_cdp_profile.

First-time setup:

1. Run any Xiaohongshu query (e.g., python scripts/main.py --nickname "test" --platform xiaohongshu)
2. A Chrome window will open showing a QR code login page
3. Scan the QR code with the Xiaohongshu app on your phone
4. The script will detect the login and proceed automatically (120-second timeout)

Subsequent runs: Cookies are persisted in the Chrome profile — no login needed until the session expires.

Error Handling

• Missing platform for nickname: Ask the user which platform they want to query
• Unsupported URL: Tell the user which platforms are supported
• Scraping failure: Some platforms may block headless browsers or require login. Inform the user and suggest trying a direct URL
• Xiaohongshu login required: The script will prompt the user to scan a QR code in the Chrome window. If the session has expired, re-run the script and scan again
• YouTube API key missing: The script automatically falls back to browser scraping — no action needed
• Timeout: Browser-based platforms may be slow. If timeout occurs, retry once

Examples

User: "帮我查一下MrBeast在B站的粉丝数" → Run: python scripts/main.py --nickname "MrBeast" --platform bilibili

User: "How many followers does MrBeast have on YouTube?" → Run: python scripts/main.py --nickname "MrBeast" --platform youtube

User: "查询 https://space.bilibili.com/946974 的粉丝数据" → Run: python scripts/main.py --url "https://space.bilibili.com/946974"

User: "查一下这个TikTok账号的粉丝 https://www.tiktok.com/@khaby.lame" → Run: python scripts/main.py --url "https://www.tiktok.com/@khaby.lame"
