# Competitive intelligence API - Veezee

Competitive intelligence means tracking what a competitor's company page says about itself, what its people are posting, and what the public is saying about it elsewhere, pulled into one picture instead of five open tabs.

## How to do it with Veezee

[linkedin_get_company](https://veezee.io/docs/tools/linkedin_get_company) fetches a competitor's LinkedIn page: description, industry, employee count, headquarters, and the id needed for further LinkedIn calls. [linkedin_get_posts](https://veezee.io/docs/tools/linkedin_get_posts) reads that same company's (or one exec's) recent posts, the voice-of-company signal: what they're announcing, hiring for, or talking about. [reddit_search](https://veezee.io/docs/tools/reddit_search) and [x_search](https://veezee.io/docs/tools/x_search) then cover what's said about the competitor outside its own channels, on Reddit and X respectively.

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/linkedin/posts?identifier=competitor.com" -H "Authorization: Bearer $VEEZEE_API_KEY"
```

## FAQ

**Can I search LinkedIn posts by keyword across the whole platform?**

No. linkedin_get_posts returns one company or person's recent posts; there's no keyword search across LinkedIn in v1.

**How do I avoid guessing the wrong company page?**

Pass the competitor's website domain (e.g. `acme.com`) instead of guessing a slug from the brand name. Veezee resolves and verifies the domain against the company it returns; a famous brand name can otherwise point at an unrelated page.

**Does this include job listings or funding data?**

No. linkedin_get_company returns the company's own profile fields (industry, headcount, HQ, specialities); it does not return job listings.

**What's a reasonable cadence for this?**

A weekly check on a handful of companies (a company fetch plus a recent-posts page each) is the recipe below; run it more often around a launch or news cycle.
