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.
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.

02The platforms
The platforms’ own APIs and products are sources, not vendors, so they are not in the list or its count. These 17 rows are those APIs, products and terms, some closed or open only to researchers: what an agent can reach, what it costs, and the rules every tool above works under. Three facts shape the map most.
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.
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.
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.
Price 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. docs.x.com
Terms 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. docs.x.comdocs.x.com
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.
Price No published price for firehose, Jetstream live tail or public API; Jetstream replay HTTP is "metered" with an API key. bsky.network
Terms 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. bsky.networkgithub.com
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.
Price No fee published. Keyword search: 2,200 queries per user per rolling 24h; publishing 250 posts/24h, replies 1,000/24h. developers.facebook.com
Terms Without approval, "the search will be performed only on posts owned by the authenticated user"; public search requires Meta approval of threads_keyword_search. developers.facebook.com
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.
Terms Server admins can restrict unauthenticated timeline access (4.5.0); full-text search only covers users who opted in (4.2.0). docs.joinmastodon.orggithub.comgithub.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.
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.
Price 100 queries/day free; additional $5 per 1000 queries, up to 10k queries/day. Closed to new customers. developers.google.com
Terms 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. developers.google.comlinkedin.com
Reddit's official API for posts, comments, subreddits, users, search, and listings. Current terms require approved use and a separate agreement for commercial access.

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.
Price Research API free: 1,000 requests/day, up to 100,000 records/day; quota increases 'can't be granted'. developers.tiktok.com
Terms 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'. developers.tiktok.comtiktok.com

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.
Price Repo is free; the X API behind it is billed separately (see the X API row). github.com
Terms Calls the official X API under an X developer app; X Developer Policy requires API use and bars exceeding rate limits. docs.x.comgithub.com
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. No Trending Now.

Small single-maintainer MCP servers: jlbadano/ig-mcp (Instagram, 199 stars), pskill9/hn-server (Hacker News, 40), The-Focus-AI/mastodon-mcp (Mastodon, 8). No notable Threads MCP found on GitHub; Meta Ads MCP (pipeboard-co, 1329 stars) is ads, not monitoring.

MIT MCP server for X data: user profiles, recent and advanced tweet search, follower events, deleted tweets, a watch list and KOL tracking. Calls a third-party service (ai.6551.io) and needs its bearer token.
LLM-friendly Reddit MCP server: browse subreddits, search posts (by subreddit, author, time, flair), read post and comments, analyse a user. Works with no keys (RSS only, 10 req/min) or with Reddit app credentials (60 to 100 req/min).
Unofficial X endpoints sold by the request on the RapidAPI marketplace (search, timelines, user info). An agent calls it as a low-cost X lookup with a RapidAPI key.
Unofficial X API on RapidAPI covering scraping and search plus account actions (login, DMs, posting, follows). For an agent, mainly search and timelines.
Open-source universal content-reader MCP and CLI covering X, YouTube, Bilibili, podcasts and other public sources, with browser and transcript fallbacks.
Python library that fetches YouTube transcripts/auto-captions without an API key by calling YouTube's internal endpoints. Agents use it for video transcripts; heavy use needs rotating proxies.
AI hot-topic monitor (Node, Express, React, OpenRouter) aggregating Twitter, Bing and other sources into alerts; Chinese-language project.

04Method and sources
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`.
