Social listening API

Social listening means watching what people say about a brand, product, or topic across public discussion, not just tracking official accounts. Most teams want the raw posts and comments so their own pipeline or agent can score sentiment, cluster themes, or spot a spike; a vendor's canned sentiment label just gets in the way.

How to do it with Veezee#

Veezee gives an agent three tools for this. reddit_search with type=comments reaches comment-level mentions inside discussions, not just post titles. x_search sweeps X chronologically for a query, following the cursor for as many pages as the sweep needs. reddit_get_subreddit_posts reads one community's feed directly, useful once you know where the conversation happens (a product's own subreddit, a niche community). None of these return a sentiment score: every result carries the raw text, author, upvotes or likes, and timestamp, and your agent runs its own analysis on that.

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

FAQ#

Does Veezee score sentiment for me?

No. Every response carries the raw post or comment text plus upvotes, comment counts, and timestamps; your agent runs its own sentiment analysis on that text.

Can I get notified the moment someone posts about my brand?

Not automatically: there's no push mechanism. Poll reddit_search or x_search on your own schedule (sort=new for Reddit, type=recent for X) and diff against what you've already seen.

How far back does the search go?

reddit_search has no server-side time window on comment search, so filter results on created_at yourself; x_search takes since:/until: query operators for time windows directly.

What's a realistic setup for checking this daily?

A handful of narrow comment searches plus one subreddit poll and one X sweep, costed out step by step in the recipe below.
