📈 Engagement & Activity Metrics

Calculated performance metrics based on the profile's recent posts, including engagement rates, average interactions, and median metrics that help reduce the impact of viral outlier posts.

median_likes_per_post	median_comments_per_post	engagement_rate_percent
median_engagement_rate_percent	has_clips	has_guides
has_channel	highlight_reel_count

How engagement is calculated

• Engagement metrics are calculated using the recent posts analyzed for each profile.
• Median metrics help reduce the effect of viral outlier posts.
• engagement_rate_percent = ((avg_likes_per_post + avg_comments_per_post) / followers) * 100
