Prism Crisis Radar API
Scrape Prism Crisis Radar data with one API call. Stage 1 computes a 7-day-rolling z-score on content_analysis daily phrase-trends (the breach gate, always 15 credits) and returns a calm|watch|alert|crisis status. On a breach with confirm=true, Stage 2 fans out to sentiment + search/everywhere (items_by_source real counts) + reddit (sort=new) + twitter/ai-search (citations, not the chatty answer) + a triage anger-ordered search, then grades severity (+30 credits, charged only when a breach actually fires). On an escalation every confirmation row is also judged (is it about this brand, and does it report an incident involving it): `severity.grade_about_brand`, `score_about_brand` and `reports_incident_with_brand` repeat the grade from the rows about the brand, next to the unchanged `grade`. A calm result or confirm=false costs only the 15cr baseline. The recurring alarm is delivered by wrapping this recipe in a monitor.
Last updated October 2026Maintained by the SocialCrawl team
Returns a calm, watch, alert, or crisis status for a brand by comparing today's mention volume and negative share against its recent daily baseline.
Use it as a recurring check for a sudden spike in negative chatter; when it does trigger, run crisis-postmortem for the full timeline.
