# Analytics: Track Post and Channel Performance

> Volta tracks post performance metrics per channel where the platform API supports it. View reach, impressions, and engagement in the dashboard.

Volta surfaces performance data for your published posts directly in the dashboard — no need to log into each social platform separately. Where the underlying platform's API makes data available, Volta pulls it in and presents it alongside your posts and channels so you can see what's working and where to focus your efforts.

## What's tracked

The specific metrics available vary by platform, but Volta 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

Volta can retrieve analytics data for posts published to the following platforms:

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="X (Twitter)" icon="twitter" />

  <Card title="LinkedIn" icon="linkedin" />

  <Card title="Facebook" icon="facebook" />

  <Card title="Instagram" icon="instagram" />

  <Card title="YouTube" icon="youtube" />

  <Card title="TikTok" icon="tiktok" />

  <Card title="Pinterest" icon="pinterest" />
</CardGroup>

Platforms not listed above (such as Bluesky, Mastodon, Discord, and Telegram) do not currently 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 click the **Analytics** tab in the post detail panel. You'll see metrics for that specific post broken down by engagement type.

**Channel-level analytics**

Go to the **Analytics** section in the dashboard sidebar. Select a channel from the list to view aggregated metrics across all posts for that channel 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 specific period. You can select any start and end date, or choose a preset like **Last 7 days**, **Last 30 days**, or **This month**.

## Accessing analytics via API, SDK, and MCP

**REST API**

```http theme={null}
GET /public/v1/connectors/:id/analytics?date=YYYY-MM-DD
Authorization: your-api-key
```

Returns aggregated analytics for the specified channel from the given date onward.

**SDK**

```typescript theme={null}
import Postsider from '@postsider/node';

const client = new Postsider('your-api-key', 'https://your-instance.com');

// Fetch analytics for a channel
const data = await client.connectorAnalytics('channel-id', '2025-01-01');
console.log(data); // { impressions, reach, engagement, ... }
```

**MCP server**

AI agents connected via the MCP server can use the **`analyticsTool`** to query channel analytics directly. This lets agents make data-driven decisions — for example, automatically scheduling more of a post type that performed well last week.

<Note>
  Analytics availability depends entirely on what each social platform exposes through its API. Additionally, some platforms require your connected account to have specific permissions or meet minimum follower thresholds before analytics data is accessible. If you see no data for a channel, check that your account meets the platform's requirements.
