Track what people post about your brand and what AI engines answer when buyers ask about your category. Each check is one API call, and any of them can run on a schedule.
Your brand in AI answers and on social
A brand monitoring API returns what people post about a brand on social platforms and what AI answer engines say about it, as data your code can store and compare. SocialCrawl measures how often Perplexity and Grok name your brand for a buyer's question, sweeps social sources for mentions in one call, and runs either check weekly from 21 credits a run.
Each job is one call or a short chain. The line under each card is the request sequence.
Send your brand, a buyer's question and up to five competitors. Perplexity and Grok each answer it several times, and you get the share of answers that named each brand, per engine.
prism/ai-visibility -> per_brand.visibility_pctEvery answer comes back with the domains it cited, ranked across all runs. Add web_baseline to see which of those domains you do not rank on yet.
prism/ai-visibility (include=web_baseline) -> citationsOne search covers the social sources for your brand name. A daily Monitor re-runs it and posts the results to your webhook.
search/everywhere -> monitors (daily)One Discover run collects last month's posts about your brand and each competitor, judges every post for relevance and stance, and counts the results per brand.
prism/discover (period=last_month, one group per brand)Pass a start date and get mention volume and sentiment as a time series with a computed direction. The data lags the open web by a few days, and each response names where its sentiment came from.
prism/brand-mentions (date_from) -> computed trendIn the same Discover run, read the comments under each brand's top posts and label their sentiment, so the report covers replies as well as posts.
prism/discover (comments=inline) -> comments.itemsFour calls cover both halves of the job. Run each one once, then schedule the ones you want to keep watching.
Prices are in credits from packs that never expire. A failed upstream call is refunded, and a metered call refunds the part it did not use.

Each platform below is a source the calls on this page read. Follow a link for that platform's full endpoint list.
Teams usually pay for one tool for social listening and a second for AI visibility. These are the differences when both are API calls.
| Capability | SocialCrawl | Typical setup |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | Social mentions and AI answers on one key, with 69 platforms behind it. | Two subscriptions, one for social listening and one for AI visibility. |
| Response shape | JSON on a shared schema from every call, ready for your own database. | Dashboards and CSV exports, each in its own format. |
| AI answers | Appearance share per engine across repeated runs, with the domains each answer cited. | One answer checked by hand, or a rank that moves between runs. |
| Pricing model | Per call from credit packs that never expire. A weekly AI check costs about 84 credits a month. | Monthly seats, often priced per tracked prompt or per channel. |
| Getting started | 100 free credits on signup, and a free dry-run quote before any schedule exists. | A demo call before the trial starts. |
| Scheduling | Monitors and Discover schedules carry the per-run and per-month caps you set. | Refresh rates fixed by the plan tier. |
A brand monitoring API returns public posts that mention a brand, and what AI answer engines say about it, as structured data. You store the results, compare runs and build alerts or reports on them in your own code.
Call GET /v1/prism/ai-visibility with your brand, a buyer's question or a list of prompts, and up to five competitors. Perplexity and Grok each answer every prompt several times, and the response gives the share of answers that named each brand, per engine, with the domains they cited.
Perplexity Sonar and Grok. Both ground their answers in web search and return the sources they used. ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude are not probed today, so the result describes those two engines only.
A weekly AI visibility check on one question costs 21 credits a run, about 84 credits a month, as quoted by the API's own dry run. A daily social sweep costs 21 credits a run, about 630 a month. Credits come in packs that never expire, and signup includes 100 free credits.
Yes. AI visibility measures up to five competitors from the same answers. A Discover run takes each brand as its own group, so every post and every count carries the brand it is about.
Create a Monitor with POST /v1/monitors. Each run sends a signed webhook with the result and the change since the previous run, and alert rules can hold the webhook back until a number crosses a threshold you set.
Yes, for transformed views shown to your own users or clients. Our terms permit dashboards, reports and derived products, and restrict raw passthrough or bulk redistribution of the data.
