a creator's daily interactions are not that day's posts. elrubius, YouTube, 14.9M followers. posts_created never reads above 1 all October. interactions ran 917K to 3.3M over the same month. /creator/:network/:id/time-series/v1 returns both. so what is a 3.3M day measuring?

ask your MCP client for engagements divided by active creators across the Social Networks category. 24h as of this morning: YouTube 12,700 per creator. TikTok 11,400. Instagram 9,500. X 2,700. text networks pay less per head than video. that ordering holds through November.

fewer people said less about Pinterest this week, and it travelled 22% further. week over week as of this morning: engagements +22%, mentions -3.5%, creators -5.3%. marketing wants the first number in the deck. research wants the second. which one is the honest headline?

pick the noisier series to alert on and you will page someone every week. Discord, daily through October. its loudest day and its quietest sat 29% apart on engagements. active posts on those same two days: 1.8% apart. we'd run the alert off the 1.8% one. ten lines below.
Table comparing the discord topic on Oct 3 and Oct 15: engagements 257.7M against 199.9M, active posts 55,963 against 54,985, a 29% gap versus a 1.8% gap.

your topic spiked 20% yesterday. the topic, or a 7.0B day for the whole category? Social Networks, daily through October: engagements ran 5.5B at the floor to 7.0B at the peak. active posts moved 9%. /category/social-networks/time-series/v1 returns the denominator in one call.

most monitoring RFPs list networks and seats. neither predicts the question you get asked in March. /categories/list/v1 came back with 41 categories this morning, Formula 1 next to technology brands, six networks under each. you will use four. a trial finds out which four.

legal has a definition of your brand. the topics list has a different one. /searches/create takes yours and returns a slug that runs anywhere a topic does: time-series, posts, creators. the dashboard still wants volume. one of them is writing your search.

lunarcrush /public/topic/samsung/v1 the passthrough sends any catalog path through, auth already handled. no client library. this morning: Samsung engagements up 10% on the week, down 13% on the month. so is Samsung up? depends which row your exec read.

Resident Evil sentiment reads 16% this morning. nothing happened. it has sat at 17% for six months. a 50% alarm here never stops ringing. sentiment weights posts by interactions. my read: horror vocabulary scores negative before anyone has an opinion. best day in a year: 42%.

we counted what a naive 2x rule would have paged you for this week. Anthropic, hourly. baseline near 3.4M engagements an hour, line at twice that. 45 of 168 rows cleared it. the chart has two events. how long is your cooldown?

your clipping service sees 72 posts. Sony, last 24 hours as of this morning: 30,296 mentions across six networks. 72 of them are news. that is 0.11% of the engagements, and the only slice most comms decks contain. /topic/sony/news/v1 returns it on its own.
