Prism Voice API
Returns one person's recent posts from X, Threads, Bluesky, and Truth Social in a single time-ordered feed, plus which of those they are actually on.
GET /v1/prism/voiceLast updated October 2026Maintained by the SocialCrawl team
When to use the Prism Voice API
Use it to follow someone across microblogs in one call; creator-card returns their profile stats, this returns what they actually posted.
From the API reference
Fetches a handle's recent posts from four microblogs in parallel, time-merges them into one chronological feed, and computes platform presence, a cross-post rate, and a per-platform tone label (a soft LLM heuristic that degrades to absent on failure). Microblogs the handle isn't on return empty arrays with platform_presence:false: the absence map is the product. Flat 5cr; all-miss → full refund. The legs[] block reports each leg's status, cost, and latency. X pages: pass a prior next_cursor back as cursor. v1 is list-level (no per-post detail drill).

What can you do with the Voice API?
The Voice 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/voice: 5 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.

| handle | Yes | The handle to look up across all four microblogs (a single leading @ is stripped). |
| platforms | No | CSV subset of twitter,threads,bluesky,truthsocial (default all four). |
| cursor | No | Opaque composite cursor from a prior response's `next_cursor`. X/Twitter pages; Truth Social pages on `next_max_id`; a mangled token is a 400 at 0 credits. |
| include | No | CSV subset of posts_by_platform,merged_timeline,computed to trim the payload (posts_by_platform is always returned). |
