 "title": "Compare comment and reaction activity across two periods",
 "page_title": "How to compare comment and reaction activity across two periods with Telegram Parser",
 "summary": "Measure comments, unique users, and reactions for a period against the previous period of the same length.",
 "who": "A channel owner reviewing whether a campaign or a content change raised discussion compared with the period before.",
 "problem": "Judging engagement by eye across weeks is unreliable, and manual counting from the app is slow.",
 "outcome": "A comparison of comments, unique users, and comment reactions between the chosen period and the previous one.",
 "steps": [
  "Make sure a JSON export exists in `data/raw/`, for example from `docker compose run --rm cli export json`.",
  "Pick the period start and end dates. The end date is exclusive.",
  "Run `docker compose run --rm cli compare --from 2026-07-01 --to 2026-08-01 --file durov_dataset.json` with your own dates and file name.",
  "Optionally open the dashboard and use the compare API at `/api/export/<name>/compare` for the same dates."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the TheMyxa/telegram-parser repo, run `docker compose run --rm cli compare --from <start-date> --to <end-date> --file <dataset-file>.json`. Expected output is the comment, user, and reaction counts for the period and the previous period. Verify that both date ranges match the requested dates before reporting.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "1 hour",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The comparison runs on the saved JSON file, so it reflects the export's state at the time it was last refreshed.",
