prism

Consumer-demand nowcast: app-review velocity, web mention slope, Reddit velocity, and commerce review levels, fused into a published demand index.

Reads up to four consumer-demand axes in parallel: app-review velocity (the freshest public channel), web mention slope (content_analysis phrase-trends, a real stateless time-series), Reddit sort=new velocity, and Amazon review-count level, and fuses them into published demand-index inputs (never an opaque score; every weight, anchor, and observation window is disclosed). v1 is an honest one-shot level+slope: three of the four axes are point-in-time rates/levels whose true week-over-week deltas need a monitor (the methodology block names them). Supply google_play_id/app_store_id for the app-review axis. legs[] reports each leg status, cost, and latency; a strict-majority leg failure refunds half. Flat 30 credits.

  • URL: https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/prism/demand-signals
  • Auth: API key in header x-api-key

Query parameters

keywordstring required

The brand or product to nowcast. Drives the mention, Reddit, and Amazon legs.

google_play_idstring

Google Play package name (e.g. com.spotify.music) for the app-review velocity axis.

app_store_idstring

Apple App Store numeric id for the app-review velocity axis.

signalsstring

CSV subset of app_reviews,mentions,reddit,commerce (default all). app_reviews is dropped when no app id is supplied.

amazon_querystring

Override the Amazon product-search term if it differs from the brand.

countrystring

Location for the app-review legs (default United States); a 2-letter code is also applied to the Amazon leg.

date_fromstring

Window start (YYYY-MM-DD) for the mention-slope leg. Defaults to 30 days ago.

date_tostring

Window end (YYYY-MM-DD). Defaults to today.

depthinteger

Reviews per store for the velocity computation (1-600, default 150).

Headers

Cache-Controlstring

Send no-cache to bypass the response cache and force a live fetch. Billed at the normal endpoint cost; the fresh result is written back to cache for the next caller. Only the no-cache directive triggers this. See the Response Schema guide for details.

Idempotency-Keystring

Optional UUID that makes the request safely retriable. The key is reserved atomically per account before billing. A concurrent retry receives 409 IDEMPOTENCY_IN_PROGRESS with a Retry-After of 1 second while the original is young, growing to a quarter of the time it has been running (at most 30); a crashed reservation expires after 5 minutes. A replay keeps the cached payload immutable except for billing metadata: credits_used becomes 0, idempotent_replay becomes true, and credits_remaining is refreshed to the current balance. A known current balance appears in both the body and X-Credits-Remaining header; no balance row resolves to 0. On a transient lookup failure, body credits_remaining is null and X-Credits-Remaining is omitted. Completed outcomes expire after 24 hours. If the claim store is unavailable, the request fails closed before billing. GET endpoints do not combine idempotent replay with Server-Sent Events: use Accept: application/json when sending this header. The unsupported key-plus-SSE combination is rejected before billing.

Response

Successful response

successboolean required

Whether the request succeeded

platformstring required

Platform name

endpointstring required

API endpoint path

credits_usedinteger required

Number of credits consumed

credits_remaininginteger nullable required

Current account balance, or null when this response could not establish one. Free cache hits always return null because they do not establish an authoritative post-request balance. An idempotency replay also returns null when its current-balance lookup fails. It is never a fabricated zero, so a zero here means the account really is empty. The authoritative reading is the one on a billed response, which comes straight from the deduction.

request_idstring required

Unique request identifier for support

cachedboolean required

Whether the response was served from cache

idempotent_replayboolean

True only when this response is an idempotency replay
