# Viral Content Pattern Miner (`kayhermes/viral-content-pattern-miner`) Actor - **URL**: https://apify.com/kayhermes/viral-content-pattern-miner.md - **Developed by:** [Khoa Nguyen](https://apify.com/kayhermes) (community) - **Categories:** Social media - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing Pay per usage This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have. Learn more: https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/running/actors-in-store#pay-per-usage ## What's an Apify Actor? Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Viral Content Pattern Miner Score supplied posts within platform cohorts and mine supported patterns across hooks, CTAs, duration, format, timing, hashtags, audio, caption length, and recurring keywords. ### What it actually does Per-post viral scores plus pattern support, lift versus baseline, and average performance. Supports inline JSON, an Apify Dataset, and public/signed JSON or CSV URLs. Source collection from social platforms is intentionally decoupled so users can connect any permitted scraper or export. ### Inputs Use `posts[]`, `datasetId`, or `sourceUrls`. See `sample_input.json` and the Apify input schema for exact fields. ### Outputs - Default Dataset: detailed result rows and a run summary - `OUTPUT`: machine-readable run summary - `REPORT.html`: reviewable HTML report ### Limitations Pattern lift is descriptive, not proof of causation. Use adequate sample sizes and validate findings with new content. The Actor analyzes supplied data; it does not bypass platform access controls or guarantee that upstream data is complete. ### Local validation ```bash npm ci npm test npm run check npm start ```` ### Deploy ```bash apify login apify push ``` Use `APIFY_TOKEN` from secure environment storage. Never commit credentials. # Actor input Schema ## `posts` (type: `array`): At least three posts; 20 or more is recommended. Include views, engagement metrics, text and content attributes. ## `datasetId` (type: `string`): Provide Source Dataset ID. ## `sourceUrls` (type: `array`): Provide CSV or JSON source URLs. ## `options` (type: `object`): Control topPercent (5-50), minSupport, and minimumLift. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Provide Maximum posts. ## `webhookUrl` (type: `string`): Provide Completion webhook. ## Actor input object example ```json { "posts": [ { "postId": "p1", "platform": "tiktok", "creatorId": "creator-1", "publishedAt": "2026-07-01T14:00:00Z", "caption": "3 mistakes nobody tells you.
