# Prism Mentions API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/prism/mentions)

> Pass handle (the @ is optional), or url (a link or a link prefix), or name on its own. platforms defaults to twitter, reddit, facebook. Opt in to instagram for posts that tag the handle, or web (url only) for a web page that contains the link. since is YYYY-MM-DD. include_self defaults to false and drops the account's own rows. Each kept row has match_kind reply, retweet, mention or tag. Unverified rows are dropped and counted in dropped_unverified. Url mode adds first_seen for the link. name is judged; a handle or a url is checked in code and is not judged. If that judgment is unavailable the rows are kept and warnings says why. Instagram comments on unknown posts cannot be searched, and Instagram caption mentions cannot. TikTok comments on unknown posts cannot be searched. Threads search is weak: measured 23/09/2026 it returned no row containing the handle, so Threads is not searched. Facebook post search returned no row containing the handle or the link on the same day, so Facebook is not searched. TikTok search for @handle returned no row containing that @, so TikTok is not searched. Bluesky has no search lane. LinkedIn is not covered. Private or deleted content is not covered. This is a first page of each search, not an index.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/prism/mentions` costs 1 credit for each X or Reddit page, 5 for an Instagram tag page, 1 for a web page. A default call holds 3. A page with no verified row is refunded. Facebook, Threads and TikTok are not searched. and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.
