Market briefs become misleading when a public opinion is written as a fact. Separate company events, verified facts, and discussion themes before summarizing anything.
This workflow builds a sourced market intelligence report with disagreements and gaps included.
SocialListeningAPI searches public posts on X, Reddit, LinkedIn, Hacker News, and YouTube and Google results for the phrases you choose. It returns normalized records with source URLs.
Step 1: Define the brief questions
Create a SocialListeningAPI account and claim the 100 free credits. List the companies, products, risks, and themes you need to follow.
Useful query groups include:
company name results announcementproduct name launchmarket name regulationcompany name customer reactionmarket name risk discussion
Write the questions before collecting sources so the brief does not follow the loudest post.
Step 2: Collect the market intelligence report sources

--header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY'
doneOne phrase across six sources costs 7 credits. The API docs explain the response structures. Claude or ChatGPT can collect the same sources through the MCP.
Step 3: Separate facts from discussion
Store source URL, date, company, theme, excerpt, and evidence type in an external database. Label records as primary fact, secondary report, public opinion, claim needing verification, or unknown.
SocialListeningAPI performs search. Classification, storage, and analysis happen outside it.
Step 4: Verify material claims
Check company filings, official releases, regulator pages, and other primary sources for material facts. Keep public opinions attributed to their source and include meaningful disagreements.
If a Reddit source receives a reply, a human must read the community rules and approve it.
Do not infer market truth from engagement or repeat an unsupported claim because several copied posts mention it.
Step 5: Write the brief
Use sections for verified changes, discussion themes, disagreements, risks to research, and missing evidence. Cite every factual claim and keep the source appendix.
This brief supports research. It is not financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
Conclusion
Delay the brief when a material claim cannot be verified. An empty fact section is better than a confident summary built from rumors.
Readers should see what changed, what people disagree about, and what remains unknown.
