Track Competitor Activity on Twitter

Monitor competitor accounts, analyze their content strategy, track engagement rates, and benchmark your performance against theirs.

The Problem

Your competitors are active on Twitter but manually tracking their posts, engagement, and follower growth is tedious. You need automated competitive intelligence to inform your own strategy.

The Solution

Use ScrapeBadger to pull competitor tweets, follower counts, and engagement data on a schedule. Build automated dashboards that compare your metrics against competitors in real time.

Implementation Example

import ScrapeBadger from 'scrapebadger';

const sb = new ScrapeBadger({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY' });
const competitors = ['competitor1', 'competitor2', 'competitor3'];

for (const username of competitors) {
  const profile = await sb.twitter.users.getByUsername(username);
  const tweets = await sb.twitter.users.getLatestTweets(username);

  const avgEngagement = tweets.data.reduce(
    (sum, t) => sum + t.favorite_count + t.retweet_count, 0
  ) / tweets.data.length;

  console.log(`@${username}: ${profile.data.followers_count} followers, avg engagement: ${avgEngagement}`);
}
