See how you can build a Grok Bot that scrapes X, TikTok, and Instagram overnight and ranks every post by save rate. It sends the top three to Telegram before you're awake, and you set it all up with one prompt and no code. 🐦 *Twitter Scraper* πŸ‘‰ https://apify.it/4dlgWwv 🎡 *TikTok Scraper* πŸ‘‰ https://apify.it/4hvW9sy πŸ“Έ *Instagram Scraper* πŸ‘‰ https://apify.it/473EmmC *Copy the prompt* πŸ“‹ In Grok Bot, open the marketplace, install the Apify plugin, and sign in. Then paste: Run apidojo/tweet-scraper on my search terms sorted by Top, clockworks/tiktok-scraper with searchQueries and searchSection /video, and apify/instagram-scraper on my tag page URLs with resultsType posts. First show me which engagement fields each one returned. Then normalize all three into one table of platform, likes, saves, and views, using bookmarkCount for X saves and collectCount for TikTok saves. Instagram has no public save count, so use commentsCount divided by likesCount there and label that column separately. Drop posts under 24 hours old and posts with no usable save rate, rank by save rate, and render one page where every row links to the original post. Then set a weekday morning digest that re-scrapes, re-ranks, and sends me only the top three rows with the save rate and the link. *Why rank posts by save rate?* πŸ€” πŸ’‘ *Catch Trends Before They Peak*: Native analytics only cover your own posts, and trend pages show what already peaked. Scraping your niche overnight shows you what's moving right now. 🎯 *Saves Beat Likes*: Likes tell you a post was enjoyed. Saves tell you someone plans to come back and do the thing, which is a stronger signal for what to make next. πŸ“Š *Compare Platforms Fairly*: X, TikTok, and Instagram name the same actions differently. Normalizing the fields stops plays and impressions from skewing your ranking. 🧹 *Rank Signal, Not Noise*: Filtering out posts under a day old and posts with no save count keeps your number one row meaningful. ⏰ *A Teammate, Not a Dashboard*: The bot re-scrapes and re-ranks every weekday morning, so the top three posts land in your messages without you opening anything. *Useful links* πŸ§‘β€πŸ’» πŸ“š Learn more about Apify MCP server: https://apify.it/3W9OXde πŸ§‘β€πŸ’» Sign up for Apify: https://apify.it/3VqmBeF πŸ”— Integrate the Actors with your workflow: https://apify.it/4dlhi6j πŸ›’ Browse other Social Media Scrapers: https://apify.it/4hy3Yhv *Follow us* 🀳 https://www.linkedin.com/company/apify https://twitter.com/apify https://www.tiktok.com/@apifytech https://discord.com/invite/jyEM2PRvMU *How to build a trend-watching Grok Bot?* πŸ§‘β€πŸ« 0:00 Introduction 0:24 Install the Apify plugin in Grok Bot 0:46 Run the X, TikTok, and Instagram scrapers 1:04 Check each platform's engagement fields 1:43 Handle Instagram's missing save count 1:54 Build the save-rate dashboard 2:37 Review the top 3 posts 3:04 Schedule a weekday digest to Telegram 3:42 Wrap up
