# Market research - Veezee

Market research finds the communities and accounts already talking about a space, sizes them, and profiles whoever is loudest.

## Recipe

1. No key needed to start: call every step below keyless, under a shared budget of 20 credits per IP per day. Buy a key at [/upgrade](/upgrade) once you need more; it's shown once on the confirmation page.
2. `reddit_search` with `type: "subreddits"`: find communities discussing the topic. Cost: 6 credits per page.
3. `reddit_get_subreddit`: size each candidate community by subscriber and active-user counts, the standard sizing signal. Cost: 4 credits per community.
4. `x_search` with `type: "people"`: find X accounts talking about the topic. Single page, no cursor. Cost: 6 credits.
5. `reddit_get_user` and `x_get_profile`: profile the loudest voices found above before quoting or engaging them. Cost: 4 credits per Reddit user, 4 credits per X account.

## Total cost

48 credits for one subreddit-discovery page, sizing 3 candidate communities, one X people search, and profiling 3 loud voices on each platform.

## Limits worth knowing

- Reddit's discover result depth caps around a few hundred per query; decompose a broad market into several narrower queries.
- `x_search` with `type: "people"` returns a single page with no cursor: it is a scan, not an exhaustive directory.
- `reddit_get_user` and `x_get_profile` need an exact username or handle; use the search results' author/handle fields directly, don't guess one.
