What Audience Analysis does
The Audience Analysis skill leverages Apify Actors to provide in-depth insights into audience demographics, engagement patterns, and behavior across popular social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. By utilizing this skill, users can efficiently gather structured data about their audience, which is crucial for tailoring content and marketing strategies. The skill is designed for developers and data analysts who require a systematic approach to understanding audience dynamics, helping them make data-driven decisions.
To use the Audience Analysis skill, users must follow a structured workflow that begins with identifying the type of audience analysis required. This involves selecting the appropriate Apify Actor based on specific needs, such as scraping follower demographics from Instagram or analyzing engagement behavior on Facebook. Once the Actor is selected, users can fetch its schema dynamically, allowing them to understand the input parameters and output fields available for their analysis.
After setting up the environment, users can run the analysis script, choosing their preferred output format—whether it be a quick answer in chat, a CSV file, or a JSON file. The skill then summarizes the findings, providing key insights into the analyzed audience, including demographic details and engagement metrics. This structured approach ensures that users can efficiently extract valuable insights without getting lost in the complexities of data extraction and analysis.
The Audience Analysis skill is ideal for marketers, social media managers, and data analysts who need to understand their audience better. By providing a clear path to gather and interpret audience data, this skill enables users to enhance their engagement strategies and optimize their content for better reach and effectiveness.

Step 1: Identify Audience Analysis Type
Select the appropriate Actor based on analysis needs:

| Facebook engagement behavior | apify/facebook-likes-scraper | FB post likes analysis |
| Facebook video audience | apify/facebook-reels-scraper | FB Reels viewers |
| Facebook comment analysis | apify/facebook-comments-scraper | FB post/video comments |
| Facebook content engagement | apify/facebook-posts-scraper | FB post engagement metrics |
| Instagram audience sizing | apify/instagram-profile-scraper | IG profile demographics |
| Instagram location-based | apify/instagram-search-scraper | IG geo-tagged audience |
| Instagram tagged network | apify/instagram-tagged-scraper | IG tag network analysis |
| Instagram comprehensive | apify/instagram-scraper | Full IG audience data |
| Instagram API-based | apify/instagram-api-scraper | IG API access |
| Instagram follower counts | apify/instagram-followers-count-scraper | IG follower tracking |
| Instagram comment export | apify/export-instagram-comments-posts | IG comment bulk export |
| Instagram comment analysis | apify/instagram-comment-scraper | IG comment sentiment |

Step 2: Fetch Actor Schema
Fetch the Actor's input schema and details dynamically using mcpc:
export $(grep APIFY_TOKEN .env | xargs) && mcpc --json mcp.apify.com --header "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" tools-call fetch-actor-details actor:="ACTOR_ID" | jq -r ".content"
Replace ACTOR_ID with the selected Actor (e.g., apify/facebook-followers-following-scraper).
This returns:
- Actor description and README
- Required and optional input parameters
- Output fields (if available)
Step 3: Ask User Preferences
Before running, ask:
- Output format:
- Quick answer - Display top few results in chat (no file saved)
- CSV - Full export with all fields
- JSON - Full export in JSON format
- Number of results: Based on character of use case
Step 4: Run the Script
Quick answer (display in chat, no file):
node --env-file=.env ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scripts/run_actor.js \
--actor "ACTOR_ID" \
--input 'JSON_INPUT'
CSV:
node --env-file=.env ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scripts/run_actor.js \
--actor "ACTOR_ID" \
--input 'JSON_INPUT' \
--output YYYY-MM-DD_OUTPUT_FILE.csv \
--format csv
JSON:
node --env-file=.env ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scripts/run_actor.js \
--actor "ACTOR_ID" \
--input 'JSON_INPUT' \
--output YYYY-MM-DD_OUTPUT_FILE.json \
--format json
