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.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
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.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
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.
