SocialListeningAPI
Social listening API for agents — one key and a normalized schema to search public posts, profiles, videos, forums, and Google results across 10 sources.
About SocialListeningAPI
SocialListeningAPI is social listening as an API rather than a dashboard. One key and a normalised schema give access to public posts, profiles, videos, forum threads and Google results across ten sources. It is built for agents and applications, not analysts. The problem it removes is integration tax: every source has its own authorisation, response shape and rate limit, and normalising them is work no user ever sees.
We track it, and the shape is one we like for agent tooling. A normalised schema is what makes a source swappable, which is the difference between a build that survives a provider outage and one that does not. We list it as the option when a build needs listening data as an input, not a dashboard for a human to read.
Brandwatch, Talkwalker and Meltwater are dashboard-first products with APIs attached — pick them when people are the consumers. Apify suits per-source control if you accept scraper maintenance. Bright Data sits underneath as collection infrastructure at scale. SerpAPI covers the search-results slice. Official platform APIs are right when you need one source and want unambiguous terms. One caveat: aggregated public-data APIs sit on contested legal ground, and source terms and regional data rules vary — read them before building a product on top.
