Discovery Skills

The discovery category handles content scouting and trend analysis on social platforms. Currently supports Instagram Reels, with TikTok and YouTube Shorts coming soon.

IG Hunter

Discover viral Instagram Reels from small accounts via the social-gateway API. Finds breakout content from creators with low follower counts — content that massively outperforms the account’s size.

Discovery Modes

Explore Mode (primary) — Pull Instagram’s Reels explore feed and filter for breakout content from small accounts. Fully automatic: pull reels, filter by play count, check follower counts, return hits.

Batch Check — Check specific Reel URLs for viral potential from small accounts. Provide a list of URLs and the system checks each one against the follower threshold.

Profile Lookup — Look up a specific creator’s profile to check their follower count, verification status, and biography.

How Results Are Presented

Results include a virality score calculated as plays divided by followers:

Tuning Thresholds

• Too few results? Raise max_followers to 3,000-5,000, or lower min_plays to 5,000
• Too many results? Lower max_followers to 500, raise min_plays to 50,000
• More coverage? Increase amount to 100+ (slower, more API calls)

Rate Limits
