Prism Crisis Postmortem API
Scrape Prism Crisis Postmortem data with one API call. Reconstructs a crisis window: content_analysis phrase-trends (volume curve) + anger-ordered search + reddit (sort=new) + hackernews (client-side date-filtered so stale relevance-ranked posts cannot corrupt the chronology) + search/everywhere (items_by_source cross-platform spread), merged into one chronologically-sorted event timeline with the first credible origin, the peak day, and the platform-by-platform propagation order. Pass include= (empty) to drop the LLM narrative and get the raw timeline. Origin is chosen only from natively-dated events (a lagged crawl time cannot establish who-said-it-first). Supply brand plus window_start; window_end defaults to today. Flat 35 credits; losing more than half the timeline sources refunds half.
