  title: Mention Tags 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.
