An API key from the service settings is required

PopOff Data connects your agent to the live PopOff.tv dataset — the social-analytics platform for reality TV. Follower counts are tracked at ~30-minute resolution across Instagram and TikTok for every cast member of every tracked season (Love Island, The Traitors, Real Housewives, and more), including archived seasons.

Your agent pulls the data; you decide what to build — season reports, charts, podcast briefs, client dashboards, CSV exports.

What's inside

  • Follower time series — ~30-min resolution history for every contestant, per platform
  • Growth windows — 24h / 7d / 30d / since-premiere deltas, plus Instagram milestone projections
  • Follow Watch — who follows and unfollows whom inside a cast, as a graph and an event ledger
  • Trend detections — surge/drop events with episode context
  • Engagement rates — current, baseline, and history
  • Season CSV exports — citation-ready snapshots, identical to the web export

Also included: the full API reference as a readable resource (popoff://docs/api-reference) and two prompt templates (season_social_report, contestant_deep_dive) that turn the tools into ready-made workflows.
