YouScan

YouScan is an AI-powered social media listening and consumer-intelligence platform that monitors mentions, conversations, and images across social networks, news, blogs, forums, and review sites. It provides sentiment analysis, trend and topic detection, visual insights via image recognition, and an AI Insights Copilot for querying data in natural language. YouScan exposes a REST API (documented with an OpenAPI 3.1 specification) to manage monitoring topics, retrieve and stream mentions, manage tags, run data imports, and query statistics, plus outbound webhooks that push new mentions to subscriber endpoints in real time.

agent ready

Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles YouScan the way a machine reads it — 24 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — YouScan scores 56.9/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 34/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

YouScan Kin Score — API readiness rating by API Evangelist

Put this on your own site. The badge is drawn live from YouScan's current Kin Score — paste it once and it updates itself every time the score is recomputed. It follows your visitor's light or dark setting, and it links back here so anyone who sees it can read the full breakdown.

How we profile YouScan

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for YouScan. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 8

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

YouScan Data Import API

The Data Import API allows you to import mentions from external sources into YouScan topics. This feature enables you to bring historical data or mentions from sources not nativ...

YouScan History API

Manage historical data collection for a topic. Starting a collection can return `400` if a collection is already running, if the date range is invalid, or if the requested depth...

YouScan Mentions API

Retrieve and update mentions collected in a topic. ### How to effectively retrieve large sets of mentions Common scenarios are: * Load all the mentions from a given topic for a ...

YouScan Spaces API

Spaces available to the authenticated user and categories configured in them.

YouScan Statistics API

Aggregated statistics for mentions of a topic. ### Dates `from` and `to` are dates (`yyyy-MM-dd`); `to` is inclusive. Day boundaries are computed in the API key owner's time zon...

YouScan Tags API

Manage tags created in your topic.

YouScan Topics API

Create and manage topics — the monitoring entities that collect mentions matching your queries. ### Topic query structure A topic query consists of a `textQuery` and/or `viQuery...

YouScan Webhook API

Webhooks push new mentions to your own server in real time, so you don't have to poll the API. Every time a new mention is found and saved to a topic, YouScan sends an HTTP `POS...

Open Collections 9

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the things the Kin Score reads for access clarity — renamed from commercial clarity in rubric 0.12, because a free statutory interface has access terms and no commercial ones.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

Event Specifications 1

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

AsyncAPI definitions for this provider's event-driven and streaming APIs.

Security Posture 4

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of YouScan, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
