How to build Brand mention monitor with a social data API
You can build brand mention monitor by calling 4 Scrapall REST endpoints for LinkedIn, Reddit, Threads, Twitter and storing the JSON they return. The typical buyer is marketing and pr teams. Search brand names across platforms and alert on new mentions.

Platforms and endpoints
| Product | Platform | Endpoint | What it returns |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brand mention monitor | /v1/twitter/search_posts | Search Posts | |
| Brand mention monitor | /v1/reddit/search | Search | |
| Brand mention monitor | Threads | /v1/threads/search | Search by Keyword |

Example request
Every endpoint is a plain HTTPS GET or POST with your key in the X-Scapi-Key header. Responses are JSON.
curl "https://api.scrapall.bipsport.com/scapi/v1/twitter/search_posts?query=ai agents" \
-H "X-Scapi-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"What you can build
A working brand mention monitor needs three parts: a collector that calls the endpoints below on a schedule, a small database that keeps every response with its fetch time, and a view or alert that shows marketing and pr teams what changed. Scrapall handles the data collection, so you only write the product logic.
How to build it, step by step
- Get an API key on the Buy page; new accounts start with 20 free credits.
- Call /v1/twitter/search_posts first to check the response fields you need.
- Add the other endpoints (/v1/reddit/search, /v1/threads/search, /v1/linkedin/search_posts) and store each JSON response with a timestamp.
- Schedule the collector (cron or a queue) and build the view or alert on top of the stored data.
FAQ

How do I authenticate the requests?
Send your key in the X-Scapi-Key header on every request. Responses are JSON.
How much does it cost to start?
New accounts get 20 free credits. After that you pay per request in USDT; see the Pricing page.
