Supported platforms and which metrics each exposes
Huntit tracks four platforms — TikTok, Instagram (Reels and Carousels), YouTube Shorts and Facebook (Reels and Photos) — and reads five metrics: views, likes, comments, shares and saves.
No platform publishes all five. Wherever one simply doesn't offer a metric, Huntit shows an em-dash instead of inventing a number.
What each platform exposes
| Metric | TikTok | Instagram Reels | Instagram Carousels | YouTube Shorts | Facebook Reels | Facebook Photos |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Views | yes | yes | — | yes | yes | — |
| Likes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes |
| Comments | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes |
| Shares | yes | — | — | — | yes | yes |
| Saves | yes | — | — | — | — | — |
Why a still post has no Reach badge
Neither Instagram nor Facebook publishes a view count for a still post — an Instagram carousel or single image, a Facebook photo or carousel. With no views figure there's nothing to measure reach from, so it can never earn a Reach badge: it calibrates in a pool of its own and competes on Engagement instead. Its likes and comments are tracked exactly as any other post's.
TikTok is the opposite case: it publishes views for every post, carousels and images included, so they earn Reach like any other TikTok post.
"—" never means zero
An em-dash means the number isn't available — usually because the platform doesn't expose that metric, sometimes because the creator hid it on that post, and occasionally because the platform's answer for that post couldn't be trusted. It never means the value was zero.
A post reading — saves didn't get zero saves; the platform simply doesn't tell anyone the save count. A real zero renders as 0. See why do I see "—" instead of a number.
The growth charts follow the same rule and draw only what a platform reports, so an Instagram Carousel shows an Interactions curve but no views curve. See reading the growth charts.
