What it does
Views, likes, comments, reposts and quotes for each account the post was published to, read from the platforms now. A platform leaves out what it does not report; LinkedIn, TikTok, Pinterest and Discord report nothing to Flung.
Example
bash
curl -X GET 'https://api.flung.dev/v1/posts/post_aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/metrics' \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $FLUNG_API_KEY"ts
import { Flung } from '@flung.dev/sdk'
const flung = new Flung({ apiKey: process.env.FLUNG_API_KEY! })const result = await flung.posts.metrics({ id: 'post_aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa',})js
const response = await fetch('https://api.flung.dev/v1/posts/post_aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/metrics', { method: 'GET', headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.FLUNG_API_KEY}`, },})if (!response.ok) throw new Error((await response.json()).error.message)const result = await response.json()A successful answer looks like this:
