# Brand monitoring on Reddit and X - Veezee

You give it a brand name; your agent searches Reddit comments and posts for mentions, watches the brand's subreddit, and sweeps X, once or on a daily schedule. The recipe below runs in Claude, n8n, or your own code on Veezee's search tools.

## Recipe

1. No signup: mint a free key (`POST /v1/keys/mint`, no body) and call every step below under a shared budget of 200 credits per IP per day. Running this daily needs more than that; buy a key at [/upgrade](/upgrade) first, checkout credits the same key.
2. `reddit_search` with `type: "comments"`: run a few narrow queries for the brand name and its common nicknames or misspellings. There is no server-side time window on comment search, so filter results on `created_at` yourself. Cost: 6 credits per query page.
3. `reddit_get_subreddit_posts` with `sort: "new"`: poll the brand's home community (or its category subreddit) for new posts. Cost: 4 credits per page.
4. `x_search` with `type: "recent"`: sweep X for the same brand terms, the deep chronological mode. Cost: 6 credits per page.
5. `get_usage`: free, exempt from the rate limit, once you have a key. Check balance before a scheduled run.

## Total cost

A daily sweep of 3 comment searches, 1 subreddit poll, and 1 X sweep: 28 credits/day.

## Limits worth knowing

- Comment search has no time-window parameter; filter on `created_at` client-side and re-poll with `sort: "new"` for fresh mentions.
- Reddit's discover depth caps around a few hundred results per query; several narrow queries beat one broad one.
- Cached search results refresh on a 20-minute cycle: polling faster than that replays the same page.
- X search paginates as far as you follow the cursor, so a deep sweep costs linearly in pages; budget for that before running one.
