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 Instagram Posts, reels, hashtags, locations, comments, profiles, followers
tiktok-scraper 2,631 TikTok Videos, profiles, hashtags, music, comments, location-based posts

Quick Start

  1. Install the skills and export APIFY_TOKEN
  2. Ask for data - "fetch the last 50 tweets from @NASA" - the agent invokes x-scraper with the sync pattern (short runs return dataset items directly; runs beyond 300s switch to the async start → poll → fetch-dataset pattern)
  3. Every request passes a "skill": true field that returns the raw extraction in structured form instead of a summary

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.
