Cision

Next Generation Cision Communications Cloud API

REST API for the Next Generation Cision Communications Cloud, Cision's earned media monitoring and analytics platform. Runs off searches already created in the platform and returns either a list of articles and their metadata, or aggregate statistics for the matching set (total mentions, ad equivalency, readership, social shares), in JSON or CSV. Served on api.trendkite.com, the host Cision inherited with its 2019 acquisition of TrendKite. Token authentication via POST /api/login, then an X-Auth-Token header. Readership for online content is zeroed in the response body under Cision's data licensing terms and delivered instead as a five-minute presigned CSV URL in the x-additional-info response header. Cision publishes no OpenAPI for this surface.
