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 |
Integration with CorpusIQ¶
CorpusIQ is the connector layer that lets AI assistants read the systems a business already runs on - accounting, payments, CRM, email, files and analytics - and answer with the source named. It is read-only by design: it retrieves data and never writes to, or acts in, a connected system, which is what makes it safe to point at live accounts.
This page is part of the CorpusIQ directory, the reference we maintain for the MCP server and agent-skill ecosystem. Run alongside CorpusIQ, a third-party server like this one can be combined with a company's own business data in a single answer.
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.
