> This map lists 334 companies whose tools watch what people post on social platforms, forums, video and podcasts, 4 of them now shut down. It shows which platforms each one covers, whether an agent can use it through an API or an MCP server, and which ones a platform has sued.

- Listening agents (25): AI that watches social platforms for mentions or leads, and often drafts the reply.
- Trend signals (18): Trend, narrative and risk signals drawn from social data.
- Creator analytics (44): Creator and influencer discovery and analytics.
- Social data APIs and scrapers (42): APIs and scrapers that return posts, profiles and comments from social platforms.
- Video and transcripts (35): Video monitoring and transcripts: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram video and broadcast.
- Agent-first data and MCP servers (17): Social data built for AI agents first, usually as an MCP server.
- LinkedIn and people data (10): LinkedIn and people data: profiles, companies and their posts.
- Podcast data (8): Podcast search, transcripts and mention alerts.
- Search APIs (9): Search APIs that return web results, including social pages, to an agent.

## When the companies started

The year each company was founded, where a source states it: known for 216 of the 334. A company later bought or renamed keeps its own founding year; a product built inside a larger company counts at that company's. Each company's year and the page that states it are in the JSON (`founded`, `founded_src`).

## The platforms

The platforms are sources, not vendors, so they are not counted as companies.

- X: X charges per post an agent reads. X's pay-per-use API, launched on 6 February 2026, charges $0.005 for each post it returns, and a post read again in the same UTC day is not charged twice. Pay-per-use plans are capped at 3 million post reads a month; above that is an Enterprise plan. Sources: X API changelog, 6 February 2026 <https://docs.x.com/changelog>; X Developer Community: the launch of pay-per-use pricing <https://web.archive.org/web/20260206215754/https://devcommunity.x.com/t/announcing-the-launch-of-x-api-pay-per-use-pricing/256476/>; X API pricing <https://docs.x.com/x-api/getting-started/pricing>
- Reddit: Reddit's RSS feeds end on 13 November 2026. Reddit closed self-service access to its public data API in November 2025. It ends RSS on 13 November 2026 and closes public API access in March 2027. Sources: n8n docs: Reddit credentials <https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/credentials/reddit>; ContentGrip: Reddit ends RSS and public API access <https://www.contentgrip.com/reddit-rss-public-api-shutdown/>; PPC Land: Reddit to halt public data API access in March 2027 <https://ppc.land/reddit-to-halt-public-data-api-access-in-march-2027-as-14-000-apps-register/>
- LinkedIn: LinkedIn has no API that searches posts by keyword. LinkedIn's Community Management API reads posts only from the Pages and members that grant access, and has no keyword search of posts. LinkedIn's User Agreement prohibits scraping, and in September 2026 a court entered a consent judgment that bars the data vendor ProAPIs from scraping LinkedIn. Sources: LinkedIn Community Management API overview <https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/community-management/community-management-overview>; LinkedIn User Agreement, section 8.2 <https://www.linkedin.com/legal/user-agreement>; LinkedIn Corp. v.

| Platform row | Site | What it is | Price | Terms |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| X API | <https://docs.x.com> | X's own data API (v2). Agents use recent and full-archive search, counts, filtered stream, user timelines, mentions, News and AI-trends endpoints, and the official xmcp MCP server to monitor X directly and in terms. | Pay-per-use credits, no subscription: Posts read $0.005 per resource; Users $0.010; Counts recent $0.005, all $0.010; Trends $0.010; Owned Reads $0.001. Capped at 3M Post reads per monthly cycle; above that Enterprise (custom contract). No free tier; new payers get $20 + up to $50 auto-recharge match. | Official API under the Developer Agreement (last updated 2026-04-27), which bars using the X API or X Content to fine-tune or train a foundation or frontier model. Redistribution limited to Post/User IDs. |
| Bluesky / AT Protocol | <https://bsky.network> | Open network: the full firehose (Relay), Jetstream (filtered JSON over one WebSocket, live or replayed), and public Bluesky API endpoints. Agents can monitor every public post free, with keyword matching done client-side. | No published price for firehose, Jetstream live tail or public API; Jetstream replay HTTP is "metered" with an API key. | Open protocol; developer guidelines require honoring deletions and ban bulk automated interactions. The 2025 User Intents draft (incl. generative-AI preference) is a proposal, not an enforced rule. |
| Threads API | <https://developers.facebook.com/docs/threads> | Meta's Threads API: publishing, replies, insights, mentions and reply webhooks, and keyword/topic-tag search of public posts after permission approval. Agents can search public Threads posts and watch mentions of their own account. | No fee published. Keyword search: 2,200 queries per user per rolling 24h; publishing 250 posts/24h, replies 1,000/24h. | Without approval, "the search will be performed only on posts owned by the authenticated user"; public search requires Meta approval of threads\_keyword\_search. |
| Mastodon API | <https://docs.joinmastodon.org> | Each Mastodon server exposes public, hashtag and link timelines and search. Agents can poll hashtag timelines per server; full-text post search needs a user token and covers only opted-in posts. | Free; per-instance rules and rate limits. | Server admins can restrict unauthenticated timeline access (4.5.0); full-text search only covers users who opted in (4.2.0). |
| LinkedIn | <https://www.linkedin.com> | The professional network itself. This row holds LinkedIn's terms, robots.txt, crawling terms, AI-training settings and lawsuits, which govern every other route an agent uses to reach LinkedIn content. | n/a (terms row) |  |
| Google Programmable Search / Custom Search JSON API | <https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/overview> | Google's official search API over a Programmable Search Engine. Now closed to new customers and ending 2027-01-01; new engines may search only listed sites (up to 50 domains), so an engine could be scoped to linkedin.com/in or /posts. | 100 queries/day free; additional $5 per 1000 queries, up to 10k queries/day. Closed to new customers. | Google's own API; not a LinkedIn-sanctioned route. The overview page says the service ends 2027-01-01 and points to Vertex AI Search for up to 50 domains. Caveat: UA s.8.2(4) bars members from using information obtained from LinkedIn 'through third parties (such as search tools or data aggregators or brokers)' without the content owner's consent, so an agency whose staff hold LinkedIn accounts carries contract exposure even on this route; no case has enforced it against a SERP user. |
| Reddit Data API | <https://www.reddit.com/dev/api> | Reddit's official API for posts, comments, subreddits, users, search, and listings. Current terms require approved use and a separate agreement for commercial access. | No published price. | This is Reddit's official API, subject to approval, the Data API Terms, and a separate commercial agreement where required. |
| YouTube Data API v3 | <https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3> | Google's official API for YouTube search, videos, channels, comments and captions metadata. An agent searches by keyword (search.list), then pulls stats and comment threads. Caption text download needs edit rights on the video. | Free. Default '100 search.list calls, 100 videos.insert calls, and 10,000 units per day combined for all other endpoints.' videos.list and commentThreads.list 1 unit; captions.list 50; captions.download 200. | Developer Policies: stored data must be deleted or refreshed after 30 days; must not 'use any technology other than YouTube API Services to access or retrieve API Data'; must not scrape. Captions download 'requires the user to have permission to edit the video.' |
| TikTok for Developers | <https://developers.tiktok.com/> | TikTok's APIs: Research API (public videos, comments, accounts; academic/non-profit only), Commercial Content API (EU ads library), Display API (a consenting user's profile and videos). No keyword-monitoring API for commercial users. | Research API free: 1,000 requests/day, up to 100,000 records/day; quota increases 'can't be granted'. | Research access requires being 'independent of commercial interests'. US ToS (updated 2026-07-15, operator TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC) bars anyone to 'scrape, crawl, export or otherwise extract any data or content in any form, for any purpose'. |
| Meta Graph API (Instagram/Facebook) | <https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-platform> | Meta's official APIs. For monitoring: Instagram hashtag search (30 unique hashtags per rolling 7 days per account), Business Discovery (other professional accounts' metrics), @mention webhooks, and Facebook Page Public Content Access. No keyword search across all public posts. | No fee; capped by feature limits (30 hashtags/7 days) and App Review. | Page Public Content Access 'requires successful completion of the App Review process' and is 'only available with business verification'. Mentions on Stories not supported. |
| Meta Content Library | <https://transparency.meta.com/researchtools/meta-content-library/> | Research archive of public Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp Channels content (web tool also covers Threads) with a Content Library API in a secure environment.

Not available to commercial comms teams. | 'no fees associated with access or computation' on Meta's environment. | Requires affiliation with an academic institution or not-for-profit with 'scientific or public interest research as a primary purpose'. |
| Apple iTunes Search API | <https://performance-partners.apple.com/search-api> | Apple's official keyless catalog-search API for podcasts, podcast episodes, and other media. It returns metadata rather than transcripts or audio monitoring. | No published price. | Apple provides the API and limits promotional content to promoting Apple media and store content. |
| Spotify Web API | <https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api> | Spotify's catalog API; includes show and episode lookup and search. No transcripts. Development Mode was cut back in 2026 (Premium required, 5 users, search limit 10). | Free; Development Mode needs Spotify Premium (2026). | Developer Terms updated 2025-05-15. |
| xmcp (X official) | <https://github.com/xdevplatform/xmcp> | X's own open-source MCP server. Runs locally and exposes the X API OpenAPI spec as 100+ tools (search, posts, users, DMs, lists, media). An agent uses it to search and read posts on X with your own developer app. | Repo is free; the X API behind it is billed separately (see the X API row). | Calls the official X API under an X developer app; X Developer Policy requires API use and bars exceeding rate limits. |
| Google Trends API | <https://developers.google.com/search/apis/trends> | Google's official Search Trends API, announced 2025-07-24 as an application-only alpha: 5-year rolling window, daily-to-yearly aggregation, consistently scaled values, regional breakdown.

| Reddit Pro | <https://www.business.reddit.com/> | Reddit's free business suite: Pro Trends keyword tracking (conversation volume, communities, post feed), plus Reddit Insights, an AI social-listening tool in alpha. Reddit Answers is the consumer AI search. All UI-only for an agent. | Reddit Pro suite offered 'at no cost' (ppc.land). Reddit Insights pricing not published. | First-party Reddit product. |

## Method and corrections

A company earns a row if its own site sells monitoring of social platforms, forums, video or podcasts, or API, data, scraper or MCP access to that content. Classified by what it mainly sells, one row per company. Left off: publishing and scheduling tools, analytics of your own accounts only, news-only monitoring, ad intelligence, review sites, products shut down before 2023, and companies whose own site we could not open. The platforms themselves are sources, not vendors: they are listed under \`platforms\`. Open-source projects and marketplace listings with no company behind them are listed under \`community\`.

We read each company's own site between 23 and 26 October 2026. A second model checked each price, and each marker on this page, against its sources. 223 of the 334 offer an API and 164 an MCP server. 2 are in court with a platform.
