Who is winning on social, in one call.
Pass up to five accounts, any mix of Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Bluesky, and get their numbers side by side with the leader on each metric and a one-line summary. For one account over time, the history endpoint returns every snapshot Exepal has with the change in followers and engagement.
What you get back
- Per account: followers, engagement rate, average likes, comments and views, posts per week, days since last post, tier and 30-day growth
- Leaders on followers, engagement rate, average views and posting cadence, and rankings by followers and engagement
- A plain-language summary an agent can pass straight to a user
- History: dated snapshots of followers, posts and engagement, total and weekly change, 30-day growth
- Bluesky profile analytics for $0.002, including reposts and quotes

Questions
- Where does the history come from?
- Exepal keeps a snapshot every time an account is looked up (at most one a day) and snapshots South Asian Instagram creators in its index every week. An account with no snapshots yet returns an error and is not charged; look it up once to start its history.
- What if one account can't be fetched?
- It is listed with an error and the others are still compared. The call fails and is not charged only when no account can be fetched.
- How fresh is the data?
- Up to 72 hours old by default (6 hours for Bluesky); pass maxAgeHours to choose.
