What is the SocialCrawl Crisis Radar API?

GET /v1/prism/crisis-radar runs a stateless breach check: stage one computes a 7-day-rolling z-score on a brand's daily mention volume and negative share and returns an alert_level of calm, watch, alert, or crisis. It is the run primitive a recurring crisis monitor wraps.

How does the breach z-score work?

The endpoint pulls a daily phrase-trends series, computes the rolling mean and standard deviation over your baseline_days excluding today, and z-scores today against it. A breach fires when the volume or negative-share z crosses your sensitivity; fewer than three baseline days returns calm with a warning.

Why is the level called alert_level and not status?

status is a reserved envelope key that the response transform strips, so the headline grade is returned as alert_level — one of calm, watch, alert, or crisis. The numeric z_volume, z_negative_share, and the full baseline_window are returned alongside it so the level is never status-only.

What does confirm=true add and what does it cost?

Pricing is two-stage: the baseline check is a flat 10 credits. Pass confirm=true and, only when a breach actually fires, the endpoint fans out sentiment, universal search, Reddit, an X grok search, and a triage anger search to grade severity for an extra 30 credits — a calm result still costs only 10.

Can I turn this into a recurring alarm?

Yes — that is the intended product. The computed block emits stable keys, an ISO window, and a methodology_version so the recipe wraps cleanly in a monitor that runs it on a schedule and pushes a webhook on a breach. The one-shot endpoint is the honest run primitive; the recurring alarm is the monitor.

Prism Crisis Radar API

Name: Prism Crisis Radar API
Brand: SocialCrawl
Availability: InStock
Rating: 4.9 (200 reviews)

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 10 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). A calm result or confirm=false costs only the 10cr baseline. The recurring alarm is delivered by wrapping this recipe in a monitor.
