New v1 public API — now generally available

Integrate social intelligence
into every workflow.

One API to collect and analyze mentions and audience across Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn.

What you can build

Social media intelligence through a single API

One endpoint for six networks — Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, X and LinkedIn. Posts, transcripts, visual labels, comments and audiences, structured and ready to query.

Six platforms, one schema

Posts and replies from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn — normalized into a single mention object.

Audio transcription

Every video and voice clip comes back with a timestamped transcript — no separate speech-to-text step.

Visual recognition

Frame-level labels, on-screen text, brand and object detection — surfaced on every image and video mention.

Comments, as deep as you need

Set how many replies to pull per post — from top 10 to the full thread. Nested, author-tagged, and sorted.

Audience on demand

Pull the commenters, followers, and engagers with demographic and psychographic signals attached.

Analyze by query or URL

Point the API at a search term or any post, channel, or hashtag — get every mention and commenter attached to it.

Use cases

What teams build
with the API

From insight-backed content workflows to continuous brand listening — the same raw primitives power very different products.

01 Content & marketing

Ship insight-backed content, not guesses.

Feed your writing tools real language, pains, and hooks pulled from the exact audiences you're writing for — so every post, ad, and email starts from evidence.

02 Brand monitoring

Always-on listening, in your stack.

Subscribe to a topic and stream mentions as they land — straight into Slack, your CRM, or your own dashboards.

03 Product research

Turn complaints and requests into a feature backlog.

Pull every mention of your product and competitors, classify by theme, and surface what users ask for in their own words — ranked by volume and sentiment.

04 Market intelligence engine

Read a market's momentum before you commit.

Track volume, dynamics, and sentiment across a whole category over time — the read some teams quietly run to size a market before they make a move.

volume +38% momentum sentiment 0.71
05 Reputation & crisis alerts

Catch the spike before it becomes a crisis.

Poll sentiment and volume on a schedule and fire a webhook the moment negativity breaks threshold — straight into your alert pipeline.

06 Influencer vetting at scale

Vet hundreds of creators before you sign one.

Run any creator through the API for audience overlap, authenticity, sentiment, and content themes — score brand fit programmatically instead of by hand.

07 Agents & internal tools

Give your AI agents real-world grounding.

One call from your agent returns cited mentions and quotes — so answers reference what people actually said, not a hallucinated summary.
