get_social_mediaThe post's facts and media — contentType, title, caption, author, stats, direct media URLs, plus an inline thumbnail. Use when you want the post itself and nothing interpreted.get_post_transcriptThe words actually spoken. Where the platform publishes a caption track (TikTok, Douyin, YouTube) it is read as-is — exact rather than inferred, without processing the video; everywhere else, and where a caption track is missing, the post's own audio is transcribed on the same call (posts up to 30…get_post_framesFrames sampled evenly across a post's video, returned as **images you can actually look at** — not a description of them. ffmpeg opens the stream directly rather than downloading it, so HLS works and an expired link is re-resolved on the spot. Verified live at 3/3 on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Dou…get_post_commentsTop comments plus the themes the platform clusters them into, with which ones the creator pinned or liked. Use when you want to read what people wrote.analyze_post_fastThe post's transcript, caption and stats — everything but the pictures. Two fetches: `get_social_media` (1) and `get_post_transcript` (1). Use when the words and numbers answer the question.analyze_postFrames sampled across the video, as **images your model can actually look at**, plus the transcript. Two fetches: `get_post_frames` (2) and `get_post_transcript` (1). Use when the visuals are the point — framing, editing, on-screen text.understand_social_postThe same two fetches, asked for a description of what physically happens on screen rather than why it works. Use when you need the events, not the strategy.summarize_post_commentsThe comment section, every comment with a stable id, and the taxonomy to label them with — sentiment, and whether each is praise, a complaint, a bug report, a question, a request, a comparison or spam. The same `get_post_comments` call, at the same price as reading them directly. Pass `verbatim: tr…show_comment_reviewDraws the classifications your model produced — every comment with its sentiment and category, filterable and selectable. Makes no requests; it only renders what you pass it.show_post_analysisDraws the analysis your model wrote from `analyze_post`/`analyze_post_fast`/`understand_social_post` — hook strength, script structure, quotable lines, suggested hashtags and more, whichever fields you produced. Makes no requests; it only renders what you pass it.compare_social_postsThe first of two to five posts, fetched with its stats, and the comparison left to you. Fetch the rest with `get_social_media` at 1 credit each. Use when performance differs and you need to know why.show_compared_postsDraws the comparison your model wrote from `compare_social_posts` — each post scored, the winner marked, what differed and the next test worth running. Makes no requests; it only renders what you pass it.- +68 more on the listing page
