# Brand monitoring API - Veezee

Brand monitoring means tracking mentions of a brand, product, or executive across public discussion, and being able to drill into any one thread when something looks worth a closer look, not just counting mentions.

## How to do it with Veezee

[x_search](https://veezee.io/docs/tools/x_search) sweeps X for a brand's name or handle, chronologically or by engagement. [reddit_search](https://veezee.io/docs/tools/reddit_search) with `type=comments` finds mentions inside Reddit discussions, not just post titles. When one thread is worth reading in full, [reddit_get_post](https://veezee.io/docs/tools/reddit_get_post) fetches that post's full body and, with `detail=full`, the entire comment tree in context, so an agent can follow up on a specific complaint or compliment instead of guessing from a one-line summary.

No signup: your agent mints its own free key in one call, then uses it directly.

```sh
curl -s -X POST https://api.veezee.io/v1/keys/mint | jq -r .key
curl "https://api.veezee.io/v1/x/search?query=%22your-brand%22&type=recent" -H "Authorization: Bearer $VEEZEE_API_KEY"
```

## FAQ

**Can I set up an ongoing monitor that runs itself?**

Not automatically: run the searches on your own schedule, a daily cron job, an agent loop. There's no built-in recurring job.

**How do I read the full discussion under a Reddit post I found in search results?**

Take the post's `t3_` id from reddit_search or reddit_get_subreddit_posts and call reddit_get_post with `detail=full`; it returns the comment tree in depth order.

**Does this include a sentiment score per mention?**

No. Every result is the raw post or comment text plus its engagement numbers; scoring sentiment is up to your agent.

**Is there a cheaper way to check one specific community every day?**

reddit_get_subreddit_posts with `sort=new` reads that community's feed directly for a flat per-page price, cheaper than a broad keyword search once you already know where the conversation happens.
