Mention Alerts API is one of 9 APIs that [Mention](https://apis.io/providers/mention/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Alerts. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and a getting-started guide.

The Alerts API from Mention — 8 operations for the standing keyword queries Mention crawls the web and social media for — list, create, read, update, pause and unpause an alert, plus the per-account notification preferences on it. Since version 1.21 group_id is mandatory on create and the stats field must be requested explicitly. There is no delete operation: an alert dies with its last share.
