Platform Support

Not all platforms support all commands. Here’s what works where:

Platform	Transcript	Content	Trending	Search
YouTube	✅	✅	✅	✅
TikTok	✅	✅	✅	✅
Instagram	✅ (reels)	✅	✅	✅
Twitter/X	—	✅	✅	✅
Reddit	—	✅	✅	✅
LinkedIn	—	✅	✅	✅
Facebook	✅	✅	—	✅
Twitch	✅	✅	✅	✅
Kick	✅	✅	✅	✅
Snapchat	✅	✅	✅	✅
Pinterest	—	✅	✅	✅
Threads	—	✅	✅	✅
Bluesky	—	✅	✅	✅
Truth Social	—	✅	✅	✅

Transcripts require video/audio content. Text-based platforms (Twitter, Reddit, LinkedIn) don’t have transcripts — use content instead.

Trending by topic isn’t available on most platforms. Trending returns overall hot content. For topic-specific research, use search with time filters.

Natural Language

You don’t have to use exact command syntax. Your AI assistant understands natural language:

Transcripts
Search by Topic
Trending
Research

“Get the transcript from this YouTube video”

“What did they say in this TikTok?”

“Transcribe this Instagram reel for me”

Your assistant translates your request into the appropriate API calls and handles platform limitations automatically.
