PostSider surfaces performance data for your published posts directly in the dashboard, so you do not need to log into each social platform separately. Where the platform’s API makes data available, PostSider pulls it in and shows it next to your posts and channels, so you can see what is working and where to focus.

​
What is tracked

The exact metrics vary by platform, but PostSider collects the following where supported:
  • Impressions: how many times your post was displayed
  • Reach: the number of unique accounts that saw your post
  • Engagement: likes, comments, shares, reposts, and similar interactions
Not every platform exposes all of these through its API. Metrics are shown only for the data each platform actually provides.

​
Platforms with analytics support

PostSider can retrieve analytics for posts published to the following platforms:

X (Twitter)

LinkedIn

Facebook

Instagram

TikTok

Pinterest

Additional provider-specific analytics are available for Threads, Google Business Profile, LinkedIn Pages, and Instagram Personal where the connected account and provider permissions support them. YouTube is not listed above because its channel analytics require the yt-analytics.readonly scope, which the production integration does not currently request. Platforms such as Bluesky, Mastodon, Discord, and Telegram generally do not expose post analytics through their public APIs.

​
Viewing analytics in the dashboard

Post-level analytics Open any published post from the Posts list or the calendar, then open its Analytics view to see metrics for that specific post. Channel-level analytics Go to the Analytics section in the dashboard sidebar and select a channel to see aggregated metrics across all of that channel’s posts over the selected date range.

​
Filtering by date range

Use the date range picker at the top of the Analytics page to focus on a period. The dashboard provides Last 7 days, Last 30 days, and Last 90 days presets. The API accepts provider-specific date parameters.

​
Accessing analytics programmatically

REST API
Use GET /public/v1/analytics/post/:postId for a single post. The response shape is platform-specific. See the Channels API for details. MCP server AI agents connected through the MCP server can read analytics with two tools:
  • postsider_get_channel_analytics for account-level metrics on a channel
  • postsider_get_post_analytics for a single post
This lets an agent make data-driven decisions, for example scheduling more of a post type that performed well last week.
Analytics availability depends entirely on what each platform exposes through its API. Some platforms also require the connected account to have specific permissions or meet minimum follower thresholds. If you see no data for a channel, check that your account meets the platform’s requirements.
