social — Posts and profiles: what was said in public — openbash
One surface over X, Instagram and YouTube: profiles, posts, comments, reactions and search.
social
social is a command on the openbash shell, reachable over HTTP, SSH and MCP with one key. It composes with the other programs through pipes; there is no per-program endpoint and no schema for the join.
social x profile stripe
help
social: public posts and profiles, as JSON.
RETURNS
One JSON object on stdout. `social` with no arguments prints every study and
what it takes.
NOTES
Each network is billed at its own rate, because the upstream is.
Studies:
x profile <username>
an account and what it looks like from outside
x posts <username>
what an account has posted
x replies <username>
what an account has said back to other people
x comments <pid>
what was said back to one post — give it a post id
x search <query>
search the network, not one account
instagram profile <username>
an account and its counts
instagram posts <username>
what an account has posted
instagram followers <username>
who follows an account
instagram following <username>
who an account follows
instagram post-comments <post>
what was said back to one post
youtube search <q>
search YouTube
youtube video <id>
one video and its statistics
youtube channel <id>
one channel and its statistics
youtube channel-videos <channel_id>
what a channel has published
youtube comments <video_id>
what was said back to one video
JSON to stdout, so it composes: pipe to `jq` to pick a field, or `> /tmp/…` to keep it.
Run a study with no arguments — `social x profile` — to see what it takes.
