  title: Mention App API
  description: 'The Mention API is a JSON-based, RESTful API that gives programmatic access to the media monitoring and social listening platform: alerts (the keyword queries Mention crawls for), mentions (the results it finds), curation, tags, tasks, alert sharing, authors and influencers, and aggregate statistics. Everything the Mention web client can do is available through this API.


    Authentication uses bearer tokens, obtained either from an app''s settings page (for your own account) or through the OAuth2 authorization-code flow (for a third party''s account). Requests send JSON with a Content-Type: application/json header; the OAuth2 endpoints alone take application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Dates use the W3C date-time format level 6 (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sTZD) so that fractional seconds can drive date-based pagination. Collections are cursor-paginated through a _links object. The API version is selected per request with the Accept-Version header; without it, the version configured in the app''s settings applies.
