What Is the Brandmentions API and What Can I Use It For?

Updated over a month ago

The BrandMentions API is a programmable interface that lets you access your BrandMentions data and features directly from your own software. Instead of using only the web interface, you can connect your applications, scripts, dashboards, and AI tools to BrandMentions and work with your brand monitoring data in a flexible, automated way.

In simple terms, an API is a set of rules that allows two pieces of software to talk to each other. This is ideal for developers, analysts, agencies, and anyone who wants deeper control over how they collect, process, and use brand mentions data.

The BrandMentions API:

  • Provides programmatic access to the BrandMentions platform

  • Uses HTTP requests and JSON responses

  • Lets you interact with your projects, mentions, reports, and alerts through code

  • Can be used from any environment that can make web requests, such as web apps, backend services, scripts, BI tools, or AI pipelines

With the API, you can:

  • Retrieve mentions and metrics for your brands and keywords

  • Work with your existing BrandMentions projects

  • Automate recurring monitoring and reporting tasks

  • Feed brand monitoring data into other tools and systems

This transforms BrandMentions from a standalone platform into a core data source inside your own tech stack.
