Prism Launch Echo API

Returns how a launch was received: the top Hacker News threads and their comments, the blog coverage it got, and optionally the GitHub repository behind it.

GET /v1/prism/launch-echo

Last updated October 2026Maintained by the SocialCrawl team

When to use the Prism Launch Echo API

Use it right after a launch to gather the reaction in one call; devtool-pulse is the ongoing health view, this one covers a single moment.

From the API reference

Runs a Hacker News search, digs the top threads' comments, and pulls the dev-blog web echo (content_analysis), with an optional GitHub repo/dossier (explicit repo= or auto-resolved from the HN/web hits), folded into a launch-reception snapshot with computed attention + echo + a methodology_version. Comment legs are the coverage spine (<0.5 → 50% refund); a dead HN search → full refund.

Prism API

What can you do with the Launch Echo API?

The Launch Echo 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/launch-echo: 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.
IDEMPOTENCY_KEY=$(od -An -N16 -tx1 /dev/urandom | tr -d ' \n')
curl -sS --max-time 60 --retry 3 -o response.json \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $IDEMPOTENCY_KEY" \
  "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/prism/launch-echo?query=Bun+1.2&repo=oven-sh%2Fbun" && cat response.json

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!'

What is the SocialCrawl Product Launch Tracking API (Prism Launch Echo)?
GET /v1/prism/launch-echo takes a query and returns how a launch landed: the Hacker News reaction with top threads and comments, a dev-blog echo, and an optional GitHub repo dossier, folded into one response. One call replaces querying HN, blogs, and GitHub and merging them yourself.
What does the threads parameter control?
threads sets how many top Hacker News threads to pull, and each comes back with its top comments, so you read the actual reaction, not just headlines. Pass repo to attach a GitHub repo dossier for the launched project.
Can I bound the launch window?
Yes. Pass date_from and date_to to scope the Hacker News and dev-blog legs to the launch period, and use include to toggle which legs run. query is the only required parameter.
How much does a launch-echo call cost?
Each call is a flat 20 credits covering the Hacker News, dev-blog, and optional repo 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 all legs fail the full 20 credits come back.
Why use launch-echo instead of scraping Hacker News myself?
One call replaces the HN thread-and-comment pull, dev-blog search, and GitHub lookup plus the folding you would write to combine them. It returns one reaction view of a launch across comment threads, press, and code, so you gauge reception without maintaining scrapers.
