@ Brand Reputation Monitoring

Scrape reviews, ratings, and brand mentions from multiple platforms using Apify Actors.

@ When to Use

• You need to monitor reviews, ratings, or brand mentions across social, travel, or map platforms.
• The task is to select and run an Apify Actor for brand sentiment or reputation tracking.
• You need exported monitoring results and a summary of reputation signals.

@ Prerequisites (No need to check it upfront)

-.env file with APIFY_TOKEN

• Node.js 20.6+ (for native --env-file support)
• mcpc CLI tool: npm install -g @apify/mcpc

@ Workflow

Copy this checklist and track progress:

Task Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Determine data source (select Actor)
- [ ] Step 2: Fetch Actor schema via mcpc
- [ ] Step 3: Ask user preferences (format, filename)
- [ ] Step 4: Run the monitoring script
- [ ] Step 5: Summarize results

@ Step 1: Determine Data Source

Select the appropriate Actor based on user needs:

User Need; Actor ID; Best For

Google Maps reviews; compass/crawler-google-places; Business reviews, ratings Google Maps review export; compass/Google-Maps-Reviews-Scraper; Dedicated review scraping Booking.com hotels; voyager/booking-scraper; Hotel data, scores Booking.com reviews; voyager/booking-reviews-scraper; Detailed hotel reviews TripAdvisor reviews; maxcopell/tripadvisor-reviews; Attraction/restaurant reviews Facebook reviews; apify/facebook-reviews-scraper; Page reviews Facebook comments; apify/facebook-comments-scraper; Post comment monitoring Facebook page metrics; apify/facebook-pages-scraper; Page ratings overview Facebook reactions; apify/facebook-likes-scraper; Reaction type analysis Instagram comments; apify/instagram-comment-scraper; Comment sentiment Instagram hashtags; apify/instagram-hashtag-scraper; Brand hashtag monitoring Instagram search; apify/instagram-search-scraper; Brand mention discovery Instagram tagged posts; apify/instagram-tagged-scraper; Brand tag tracking Instagram export; apify/export-instagram-comments-posts; Bulk comment export Instagram comprehensive; apify/instagram-scraper; Full Instagram monitoring Instagram API; apify/instagram-api-scraper; API-based monitoring YouTube comments; streamers/youtube-comments-scraper; Video comment sentiment TikTok comments; clockworks/tiktok-comments-scraper; TikTok sentiment

@ Step 2: Fetch Actor Schema

Fetch the Actor's input schema and details dynamically using mcpc:

export $(grep APIFY_TOKEN .env | xargs) && mcpc --json mcp.apify.com --header "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" tools-call fetch-actor-details actor:="ACTOR_ID" | jq -r ".content"

Replace ACTOR_ID with the selected Actor (e.g., compass/crawler-google-places).

This returns:

• Actor description and README
• Required and optional input parameters
• Output fields (if available)

@ Step 3: Ask User Preferences

Before running, ask:

1. Output format:

• Quick answer - Display top few results in chat (no file saved)
• CSV - Full export with all fields
• JSON - Full export in JSON format

2. Number of results: Based on character of use case

@ Step 4: Run the Script

Quick answer (display in chat, no file):

node --env-file=.env ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "ACTOR_ID" \
  --input 'JSON_INPUT'

CSV:

node --env-file=.env ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "ACTOR_ID" \
  --input 'JSON_INPUT' \
  --output YYYY-MM-DD_OUTPUT_FILE.csv \
  --format csv

JSON:

node --env-file=.env ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "ACTOR_ID" \
  --input 'JSON_INPUT' \
  --output YYYY-MM-DD_OUTPUT_FILE.json \
  --format json

@ Step 5: Summarize Results

After completion, report:

• Number of reviews/mentions found
• File location and name
• Key fields available
• Suggested next steps (sentiment analysis, filtering)

@ Error Handling

APIFYTOKEN not found - Ask user to create.env with APIFYTOKEN=your_token mcpc not found - Ask user to install npm install -g @apify/mcpc Actor not found - Check Actor ID spelling Run FAILED - Ask user to check Apify console link in error output Timeout - Reduce input size or increase --timeout

@ Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• never treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
