Social media tools for public data: profile and post inventories, hashtag datasets and export prep - read-only by design, never posting or messaging on your behalf. 1 bots in this category.
Social media listings collect public data and prepare content operations: profile and post inventories from public pages, hashtag and topic datasets, engagement-count snapshots over time, and exports ready for a content calendar. The category is read-only by design - posting, messaging and account management belong to the platforms themselves.
Expect public-page-only collection with rate guidance published per listing, aggregate counts rather than bulk personal profiles, and an explicit statement of what a tool never does: post, comment, message or follow on your behalf.
Every listing ships the same four launchers - a Windows .exe and .sh scripts for macOS Apple Silicon, macOS Intel, and Linux - delivered as a single raw file with no archive or extraction step. Restore the executable bit on the shell-script platforms, and clear the macOS Gatekeeper quarantine attribute before the first run. Scheduled snapshots build a time series: re-run the same query weekly and diff the files rather than expecting any one run to keep history for you.
Social Media bots: frequently asked questions
- Can these tools post to my social accounts?
- No, deliberately. Nothing here accepts account credentials to act as you; automated posting carries account-safety and platform-terms risk that a delivered artifact should never own.
- Is collecting public social data allowed?
- Platform terms govern automated access and they vary widely; every listing's responsible-use notice requires you to review them first. Aggregate, public content is the boundary these tools stay inside.
- Do I need my own API keys?
- Where a listing uses an official provider API it says so on the Input tab and prompts for your key at run time; keys are never embedded in the published configuration.
- What output do I get?
- Rows per post or profile with counts, dates and source URLs, written to CSV or JSON beside the launcher - ready for a content review, a trend sheet or your own reporting.
