How to get Utilities post analytics (step by step)

  1. 1

    Get a free API key

    Create a free Captapi account (100 credits, no card) and generate an API key from the dashboard.

  2. 2

    Call the Post Analytics API

    Send an authenticated GET request to /v1/analytics/post with your input. No OAuth, no scraping setup.

  3. 3

    Read the JSON response

    Parse the clean JSON response. Pass cache=true for a free 24h cache hit; default is always fresh.

Code example

curl "https://api.captapi.com/v1/analytics/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcaptapi.com%2Fdocs%23api-analytics" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer capt_live_..."
# or: -H "x-api-key: capt_live_..."

What the response looks like

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "id": "dQw4w9WgXcQ",
    "title": "Example video",
    "author": "@creator",
