Social Listening

Track brand mentions, competitor activity, and industry conversations across social media and the web.

When to Use

• User wants to monitor what people say about a brand or product
• User asks "what are people saying about [company]?"
• Tracking competitor launches or announcements
• Monitoring industry trends and sentiment
• Social media due diligence before partnerships

Workflow

Step 1: Search Web Mentions with Exa

Find recent mentions, reviews, and discussions across the web:

orth run exa /search -d '{
  "query": "Notion reviews opinions user feedback",
  "numResults": 30,
  "contents": {"text": true}
}'

Step 2: Monitor Social Media with Scrape Creators

Check what's being posted on X/Twitter:

orth run scrapecreators /v1/twitter/user-tweets -q 'handle=NotionHQ'

Check LinkedIn company activity:

orth run scrapecreators /v1/linkedin/company -q 'url=https://linkedin.com/company/notion'

Note: Scrape Creators does not have a dedicated "company posts" endpoint. Use /v1/linkedin/company to get company page data, or /v1/linkedin/post with a specific post URL.

Step 3: Deep Scrape Key Pages with Scrapegraph

Extract structured data from specific pages found in Steps 1-2:

orth run scrapegraph /v1/smartscraper -d '{
  "website_url": "https://example.com/review-page",
  "user_prompt": "Extract sentiment, key complaints, and praise about the product"
}'

Examples

User: "What are people saying about Slack?"

# Step 1: Web mentions
orth run exa /search -d '{"query": "Slack reviews complaints praise 2025 2026", "numResults": 20, "contents": {"text": true}}'

# Step 2: Their social presence
orth run scrapecreators /v1/twitter/user-tweets -q 'handle=SlackHQ'

User: "Monitor competitor launches in the AI space"

orth run exa /search -d '{"query": "AI startup launch announcement new product 2026", "numResults": 30, "contents": {"text": true}}'

Tips

• Use Exa for broad web monitoring (blogs, forums, news)
• Use Scrape Creators for social media (X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok)
• Use Scrapegraph for extracting structured data from specific URLs
• Include date ranges in Exa queries for recent results
• Track both your brand and competitors for comparative insights
