Questions ChatGPT can answer from your Instagram Public Data data

Instagram Public Data reads what anyone can see on a public Instagram profile you name by username, such as a competitor, a peer brand or a creator: the profile with its follower and post counts, and its posts with likes, comments and views. It is not for personal accounts.

Creator shortlist before a partnership

Ask ChatGPT

For the creators on our shortlist, compare Followers Count and Media Count from Profile with average Comments Count per post from Posts. Who gets real conversation for their size?

The influencer manager approves each query, then takes a ranked shortlist into the agency briefing, so the budget goes to creators whose audiences reply, not only to the largest follower counts.

Rival product launch review

Ask ChatGPT

List the posts one competitor published in the two weeks around their launch by Timestamp, with Caption, Like Count, Comments Count and Permalink.

Brand marketing reads the launch sequence post by post, sees which message drew the most comments and plans its own response campaign with the links at hand.

Message themes in rival captions

Ask ChatGPT

Run data_status on the Instagram Public Data flows, then group last quarter's competitor posts by the main offer in their Caption and total Like Count per theme.

The content strategist confirms the data is fresh, then gets a list of recurring promises such as discounts or new products and how strongly audiences reacted to each.

With vs. without

Instagram Public Data in ChatGPT, with and without Dataddo

Without Dataddo With Dataddo Outcome for you
Creator vetting An influencer manager opens every creator profile, notes followers and a few post likes by hand and uploads the sheet to ChatGPT. ChatGPT reads Followers Count from Profile and Like Count and Comments Count from Posts for the whole shortlist from the latest extraction. Shortlist ranked on evidence
Trust in the answer Nobody can tell which rows of a pasted competitor sheet ChatGPT relied on for its summary. ChatGPT asks you to confirm each Dataddo tool call, so you see every lookup of Posts or Profile before the answer appears. Every lookup approved
Finding the original post A summary mentions a strong competitor post, and someone has to scroll the profile to find it again. Posts carries the Permalink of each post, so ChatGPT returns the link along with the counts and the Caption. One click to the source post
Duplicate posts Repeated exports of the same profile stack up, and the same post is counted twice in the totals. The dataddo_hash column is built from Media Id, so each post stays one record when the destination upserts on it. Each post counted once
Token consumption ChatGPT spends tokens exploring raw Instagram Public Data columns, sampling rows and retrying until it understands the data. Field definitions and relations are supplied up front, so the model skips the exploration and goes straight to the answer. Fewer tokens per answer
Answer quality Prone to wrong joins, invented fields and numbers that are hard to check. Answers grounded in defined fields. In the Dataddo benchmark, 78.5% of questions were answered correctly, against 65.5% with plain CSV files. Better answers

Benchmark

More right answers. Half the confident mistakes.

We asked 43 pre-registered questions of three real datasets - Google Search Console, HubSpot deals and Google Ads - and delivered the same rows to the same model in four ways. Only the data layer changed.

78.5%

of questions answered correctly - the best of the four delivery methods tested

2x

fewer confidently wrong answers - 14.0% of runs against 24.0% and 26.3%

2.8x

more correct answers on messy CRM data - better on 8 questions, worse on none

Answered correctly All 43 questions - higher is better
Wrong, but stated as fact Share of runs - lower is better

Same model, prompts and rows in every condition; 759 graded runs, ground truth frozen before any run. On Google Search Console alone, documented CSV files did as well as Data to AI™ - the advantage comes from messier data such as HubSpot deals.

FAQ

Instagram Public Data and ChatGPT: FAQ

How do I connect Instagram Public Data to ChatGPT?

Create an Instagram Public Data source per competitor or creator Username, with Posts and Profile, and attach the flows to a ChatGPT destination or AI Model. In ChatGPT on the web, switch on Developer mode in Settings > Security and login, create a Dataddo Data Access app with https://headless.dataddo.com/mcp-data and OAuth, and select it.

What do I need in ChatGPT to query competitor Instagram data?

Developer mode in ChatGPT on the web, available on the Pro, Plus, Business, Enterprise and Education plans. On Business and Enterprise, a workspace admin may first need to allow developer mode for the workspace.

Which metrics can ChatGPT read for other Instagram accounts?

Only public data. Posts includes Like Count, Comments Count, View Count, Engagement, Media Type, Caption and Timestamp, and Profile includes Followers Count, Follows Count, Media Count, Biography and Website. Reach and Saves of other accounts are not part of it.

How do I add another competitor or creator?

Create another Instagram Public Data source with that Username, for example the handle from the profile URL, and attach the new flow to your ChatGPT destination. Each source covers one public profile.

Why does Dataddo say no Instagram account was found?

Dataddo reads public profiles through the Instagram account on your authorizer, and that account must be connected to a Facebook account. If none is found, the source stops with an error, so use another authorizer.

Can I stop ChatGPT from refreshing the flows?

Yes. In the app settings you can turn individual Dataddo tools on or off, so you can keep querying Posts and Profile while switching off tools you do not want ChatGPT to run.

Does ChatGPT change anything on Instagram?

No. ChatGPT only queries the extracted data through the semantic layer by entity and field name. Dataddo never accepts SQL from the model and nothing is written back to Instagram.
