Scrape Every Social Platform at Once with AI
You will run one Claude Code prompt that sends four agents through Apify to scan X, YouTube, Instagram and Reddit at the same time, then merges what they find into shared themes and post ideas.
Was Sie brauchen
Claude Code (the app or the terminal)
An Apify account connected to Claude Code
A niche you want to research (the video uses AI)
Schritt für Schritt
Connect Apify to Claude Code
Connect your Claude Code instance to Apify before you prompt anything. Apify is the platform the agents use to search each social network and pull trending information. I had it connected before recording, so do this first.

Open Claude Code and ask for a dynamic workflow
Open Claude Code and start a new conversation. Say explicitly that you want a dynamic workflow. In my experience, if you leave this out, it does not work.
Paste the prompt
Paste the prompt below and change the niche if you need to. It asks for four subagents, one per platform, and a final step that combines their results into post ideas. You can be less specific: I find two sentences are enough for Claude Code to understand.
Prompt from the videoUse a dynamic workflow for the following. Using Apify with a total of four subagents, find trending topics and trending posts on X, YouTube, Instagram, and Reddit. Focus on the AI niche. I want to find out what people are talking about that's trending and any questions they might have about recent topics. Then take those four results, synthesize them, find what they have in common, and ideate some post ideas.
Send it and let Claude plan
Send the prompt. Claude Code first reasons through a short planning phase, then launches the four subagents. With a dynamic workflow, the agents are specialized for the task instead of general-purpose subagents, so the run is faster and the results are better.
Watch the scout phase
Click the workflow visualization in Claude Code to see which phase it is in. You should see four scouts running: one each for X, YouTube, Instagram and Reddit. Setup and the run take a few minutes, so let it finish.
Scale it up if you need more
Add more agents to go deeper: split the work by platform and by niche. My record is 99 agents. You can also point the agents at a competitor and scout their activity on LinkedIn, X and other platforms.
Read the recurring themes
When the run finishes, scroll to the recurring themes per platform at the bottom. If you want to verify anything, open the raw output from each agent. Note which topics show up everywhere and which only show up on some platforms.
Find the gaps between platforms
Cross-match the themes. If a topic is loud on X and Reddit but missing on Instagram, you can be early with it on Instagram. Use the raw findings as material for your own video and post ideas.
Reuse the prompt
Run the same prompt in different ways: several platforms at once, one platform across different niches, or a list of creators you follow and want to study every week.
Worauf Sie achten sollten
If you do not explicitly ask for a dynamic workflow in the prompt, it does not work in my experience.
Connect Apify to Claude Code first. The agents search the platforms through it.
The run takes a few minutes. Do not expect results as soon as you send the prompt.
The finished output can include extra suggestions you did not ask for. Rely on the raw themes per platform and use those to come up with your own ideas.
