# Sonder APIs

Data on public social posts across every platform Sonder covers, so developers and teams can build their own tools.

Sonder reads public posts on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube (long-form and Shorts), Facebook, X, Threads, Reddit and Snapchat: the posts, their stats, what is said and written in them, the comments under them, and who made them. Sonder APIs give you that data directly: search public posts, look up accounts, pull comments and transcripts, and track a launch across platforms in one shape.

> **Early access:** The REST API below is in early access: its endpoints are the planned shape and are not open for self-serve use yet. [Request access](https://docs.sonderlabs.co.uk/access). Live today: the [MCP server](https://docs.sonderlabs.co.uk/mcp) and the [free datasets](https://docs.sonderlabs.co.uk/datasets).

## What's live today

## What makes it different

- **One shape for eight platforms.** A TikTok, a Reel, a Short, a Snapchat Spotlight and a Reddit thread come back as the same post object, with the platform's quirks written down, not hidden.
- **Missing is not zero.** When a platform doesn't publish a number, you get `null` and a flag, never a silent 0.
- **Checked, not just matched.** Campaign posts are read (caption, speech, on-screen text) and judged against your brief, so fan edits that never say your name count, and keyword noise doesn't. See [Concepts](https://docs.sonderlabs.co.uk/concepts).
- **Every number is dated.** Each post carries `asOf`: when its stats were last read.
