Prism Devtool Pulse API
Returns a health snapshot for a developer tool: its GitHub repository details, Hacker News reaction, Reddit chatter, blog coverage, and a summary label.
GET /v1/prism/devtool-pulseLast updated October 2026Maintained by the SocialCrawl team
When to use the Prism Devtool Pulse API
Use it to judge a dev tool's momentum in one request rather than querying GitHub, Hacker News, Reddit, and web search and merging the results.
From the API reference
Fans out a GitHub repo/dossier, a Hacker News search+comment pull, a Reddit search+comment pull, and the dev-blog web echo (content_analysis), then folds them into a developer-brand health snapshot: release recency, open-issue load, the top feature request and top complaint, HN and Reddit attention, the web echo with its top domains, a deterministic pulse=strong|steady|cooling|quiet label, and a soft NLP sentiment label. No leg is individually critical: absence is signal; a strict-majority leg failure refunds half. Supply repo= (owner/repo or a github URL) to anchor the dossier; without it the server best-effort resolves one from the HN/web legs. legs[] reports each leg's status, cost, and latency.

What can you do with the Devtool Pulse API?
The Devtool Pulse endpoint gives you structured Prism data with computed fields in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.
Example Request
# GET /v1/prism/devtool-pulse: 20 credits per call. Cache hits are free and failed calls are refunded.
# Check the price first for 0 credits: add dry_run=1 to the query. Nothing is fetched or charged.
# --max-time 60: the API's own time limit for this endpoint.
# --retry 3: retries timeouts, 429 and 5xx, honoring Retry-After.
# -o response.json keeps only the final attempt's body.
# One Idempotency-Key per request, reused on every retry, so a retried call is never charged twice.

| repo | No | The repo to dossier: owner/repo or a github.com/{owner}/{repo} URL. Recommended for a precise dossier. |
| subreddit | No | Optional scope for the Reddit leg (bare name, no r/): switches it to a subreddit search. |
| include | No | CSV subset of dossier,hn,reddit,blogs (default all). Trims which legs run, not the flat price. |
| date_from | No | Optional window start (YYYY-MM-DD) applied to the time-bounded legs. |

It ships as a single executable called `bun`.\n\nAt its core is the _Bun runtime_, a fast JavaScript runtime designed as **a drop-in replacement for Node.js**. It's written in Rust and powered by JavaScriptCore under the hood, dramatically reducing startup times and memory usage.\n\n```bash\nbun run index.tsx # TS and JSX supported out-of-the-box\n```\n\nThe `bun` command-line tool also implements a test runner, script runner, and Node.js-compatible package manager. Instead of 1,000 node_modules for development, you only need `bun`. Bun's built-in tools are significantly faster than existing options and usable in existing Node.js projects with little to no changes.\n\n```bash\nbun test # run tests\nbun run start # run the `start` script in `package.json`\nbun install <pkg> # install a package\nbunx cowsay 'Hello, world!'

Developer First
How do you scrape social media data in seconds?
The fastest social media scraping API for developers. Scrape profiles, posts, comments, and analytics from 69 platforms covering 10B+ monthly active users.
One schema, every platform
Query 69 platforms with identical response structures. Write your integration once.
Computed fields, not just scraped
When an endpoint supports these metrics and the source provides the required inputs, the normalized record includes engagement_rate, estimated_reach, content_category, and language. Ready to use.

Contact usWhat is the SocialCrawl Developer Tool Monitoring API (Prism Devtool Pulse)?
GET /v1/prism/devtool-pulse takes one query and folds four legs into a single JSON response: a GitHub repo dossier, the Hacker News reaction, Reddit chatter, and a dev-blog echo. Instead of orchestrating four separate calls, you get one developer-brand health snapshot.
Which sources does devtool-pulse pull from?
Four in parallel: GitHub (the repo dossier), Hacker News threads, Reddit discussion, and dev-blog and web coverage. Pass repo to pin an exact GitHub repository and subreddit to scope the Reddit leg. The query parameter is the only required input.
How much does a devtool-pulse call cost?
Each call is a flat 20 credits covering all four legs. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card. If a strict majority of the legs fail, part of the cost is refunded automatically, and if every leg fails the full 20 credits come back.
Can I narrow the time window and the sources?
Yes. Pass date_from and date_to to bound the Hacker News, Reddit, and dev-blog legs to a date range, and use include to toggle which legs run. The repo and subreddit params pin the GitHub and Reddit legs to an exact target.
Why use devtool-pulse instead of calling GitHub, HN, and Reddit myself?
One call replaces four upstream integrations plus the parsing, deduping, and folding you would write to combine them. It returns a single developer-brand health view over code, comment threads, and press, so you can watch how a tool lands without stitching APIs together.
