Collect LinkedIn and X follower numbers, then read the history and the HTML report.

Collect and read your analytics

Collect follower numbers from LinkedIn and X, then read them back as dated series in the app or the command line.

Blowhorn collects LinkedIn pages and X profiles. A Bluesky scope is accepted by the command but collects nothing today, so scope your runs to linkedin and x.

Collect

blowhorn analytics --platform linkedin --profile ada --lookback 30
blowhorn analytics --platform x --profile all

LinkedIn exports honour --lookback; X appends a follower and following trend row per profile. Each run prints a receipt of the rows it collected. In the app, the "analytics" screen collects on demand with "collect now" and draws the same series.

Read the history

blowhorn analytics history --since 30d
blowhorn analytics history --subject ada --json

history renders every LinkedIn page and every X profile as one dated series from the store, whichever machine collected it. --since takes days, weeks, months, years or all, and filters which points print, never what the 30-day figures compute from.

Treat the 30-day net, growth rate and unfollowed figures as derived, not measured: the output labels them so. LinkedIn measures new followers, so only LinkedIn pages carry an unfollowed figure. X measures nothing but the total, so an X profile has a net change and no unfollowed figure at all.

Read the HTML report

blowhorn report
blowhorn report --no-open

report builds analytics/analytics_report.html from the exports already on disk and opens it; --no-open writes the file and leaves it closed. Collect first when you want fresh numbers: the report reads local files only.
