Apidojo Social Media Skills - Setup Guide¶
Source: skills.sh (3 skills, ~8,000 combined installs)
GitHub: apidojo-io/social-media-skills (Apache-2.0 per README, pushed Sep 2, 2026)
Category: Social Media / Data Extraction
First Seen: Sep 10, 2026 sweep (cluster surfaced via failed-query compensation - the recurring social media / content collector-query failures)
Quality Tier: 🟡 Unverified (no skills.sh security audits published for this publisher)
A 3-skill suite that turns an agent into a social data extractor backed by Apify actors - no proxies, no login handling, just token-authenticated API calls that return structured JSON. Each skill is a single SKILL.md in standard Agent Skills format (name / description / version frontmatter) with sync and async curl patterns for the corresponding Apify actor. Platform-agnostic: works with any agent that can run npx skills add or read a SKILL.md.
Installation¶
Install all three skills:
npx skills add apidojo-io/social-media-skills
Install a single skill:
npx skills add apidojo-io/social-media-skills --skill x-scraper
List available skills first:
npx skills add apidojo-io/social-media-skills --list
For Hermes Agent, copy the skill folders into the agent's skills directory from a clone:
git clone https://github.com/apidojo-io/social-media-skills.git
cp -r social-media-skills/skills/* ~/.hermes/skills/
Prerequisites¶
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Apify paid plan | All three actors reject API calls on the free plan - sign up and subscribe first |
| APIFY_TOKEN | From console.apify.com/account/integrations; export APIFY_TOKEN="apify_api_..." |
| curl / wget + jq | For the sync and async run patterns in the SKILL.md files |
Skill Roster¶
| Skill | Installs | Platform | What It Extracts |
|---|---|---|---|
x-scraper |
2,716 | X (Twitter) | Tweets by search query, profile, hashtag, keyword, conversation thread, date range, or list - uses Twitter advanced search syntax via the searchTerms input |
instagram-scraper |
2,679 | Posts, reels, hashtags, locations, comments, profiles, followers | |
tiktok-scraper |
2,631 | TikTok | Videos, profiles, hashtags, music, comments, location-based posts |
Quick Start¶
- Install the skills and export
APIFY_TOKEN - Ask for data - "fetch the last 50 tweets from @NASA" - the agent invokes
x-scraperwith the sync pattern (short runs return dataset items directly; runs beyond 300s switch to the async start → poll → fetch-dataset pattern) - Every request passes a
"skill": truefield that returns the raw extraction in structured form instead of a summary
CorpusIQ Use Cases¶
| Use Case | How |
|---|---|
| Social mining | x-scraper pulls operator conversations by search query, profile, and hashtag - help-first engagement targets without manual browsing |
| Competitor monitoring | Scheduled hashtag / keyword pulls across X, Instagram, and TikTok feed competitive intelligence into research sweeps |
| Creator & UGC research | instagram-scraper + tiktok-scraper gather profiles, engagement, and content for creator-partnership vetting |
| Lead intel | Profile, comment, and follower data support outbound research before first contact |
Limitations / Verification¶
- Paid prerequisite: every skill requires an Apify paid plan - API calls on the free tier are rejected. Budget before adopting.
- No published security audits: as of Sep 10, 2026 the skills.sh page renders no Trust Hub / Socket / Snyk verdicts for this publisher. The three SKILL.md files are short, single-purpose API-pattern documents - manual review takes minutes.
- Young repo: created Mar 2026, 1 GitHub star - install traction comes from skills.sh, not GitHub. Repo pushed Sep 2, 2026 (active).
- Affiliate links: README Apify links carry a referral tag (
fpr=yhdrb); the skills themselves are Apache-2.0 (GitHub API license field is empty; README states Apache-2.0). - Data rights: scraped platform data usage is the operator's responsibility - respect platform terms for any public redistribution.
