Mention is a media monitoring and social listening platform that watches over one billion sources in real time across 42 languages, covering social networks, news, blogs, forums, video and 75+ review sites. Its JSON-based RESTful API, documented at dev.mention.com, gives developers programmatic access to alerts (the standing keyword queries Mention crawls for), the mentions those alerts collect, curation by folder/tone/tag, mention tasks assigned to team mates, alert sharing and permissions, authors and influencer scoring, aggregate statistics, and a long-lived streaming endpoint for real-time delivery. Authentication is a bearer token obtained from a registered app or through an OAuth2 authorization-code flow, and the API version is selected per request with an Accept-Version header. Mention is sold by Agorapulse SAS; API access is a paid add-on rather than an included capability of the published plan.
Mention publishes 9 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Accounts API, Alerts API, Authors API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Alerts, Brand Monitoring, Media Monitoring, Social Listening, and Social-Media.
Mention’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, developer portal, support, engineering blog, pricing, and 28 more developer resources.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it
carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts
themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already
holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in
front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created.
Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet,
not penalised by it.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/mention: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
