Why Use This Tool?

In today's multi-platform digital world, your audience engages with you across GitHub, X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, YouTube, Reddit, and more. But tracking who's genuinely interested in your content requires checking each platform separately — until now.

Who Engaged With Me solves this problem by:

• Aggregating engagement data from all your social media accounts in one place
• Identifying your most engaged followers with weighted scoring that values meaningful interactions
• Matching identities across platforms so you know when the same person engages on multiple networks
• Providing actionable contact information to help you connect with your most interested audience

Intelligent Cross-Platform Identity Matching

Our advanced matching algorithm identifies when the same person engages with you on different platforms using:

• Username similarity — Fuzzy matching catches variations like john_smith, johnsmith, and john-smith
• Display name matching — Recognizes "John Smith" across different networks
• Linked account detection — Parses bios for social media links
• Email and website matching — Connects accounts with shared contact info

Weighted Engagement Scoring

Not all engagements are equal. Our scoring system prioritizes high-value interactions:

Engagement Type	Score	Why It Matters
Follow / Subscribe	10	Shows commitment to your content
Fork (GitHub)	8	Indicates intent to use or build on your work
Pull Request	8	Demonstrates active contribution
Issue / Bug Report	7	Shows investment in improving your project
Comment / Reply	6	Requires effort and thought
Quote / Share	5	Amplifies your content to their audience
Repost / Retweet	5	Extends your reach
Mention	5	Brings you into their conversation
Star / Watch	4	Bookmarks your content for later
Like / Reaction	2	Quick acknowledgment
Profile View	1	Passive interest

Best Practices

For Accurate Results

• Use authentication when available for better data access
• Start with a shorter time range (7 days) to test, then expand
• Configure specific repositories on GitHub to focus on relevant engagements

For Identity Matching

• Set threshold to 0.75 (default) for balanced accuracy
• Lower threshold (0.6) if you want more potential matches
• Higher threshold (0.9) if you want only high-confidence matches

For Performance

• Limit platforms to those you actively use
• Use proxies for Instagram and LinkedIn to avoid rate limits
• Run during off-peak hours for faster execution

---

Limitations & Considerations

• Public Data Only — Extracts only publicly available data (except LinkedIn with authentication)
• Rate Limits — Respects platform rate limits; large accounts may take longer
• Historical Data — Some platforms limit how far back data is available
• Identity Matching — Not 100% accurate; review matches with confidence scores below 0.8

---

Privacy & Compliance

• Only extracts publicly available data or data you're authorized to access
• Does not store data beyond your Apify account
• Respects platform terms of service and robots.txt
• Recommended for legitimate business and personal use only
• GDPR-compliant data handling

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this tool see who viewed my profile?

Only LinkedIn provides profile view data (requires Premium for full details). Other platforms like GitHub, X, and Instagram do not expose this information.

How accurate is cross-platform identity matching?

Matching accuracy depends on how consistent users are with their usernames and display names. Matches with confidence scores above 0.85 are highly reliable. Always review lower-confidence matches manually.

Does this work with private accounts?

No. This tool only accesses publicly available data. For private GitHub repositories, you'll need to provide a personal access token with appropriate permissions.

How often should I run this Actor?

For most use cases, running weekly captures meaningful engagement patterns. For high-volume accounts, daily runs may be appropriate.
