# Vivly > Vivly is a noise-to-signal API for the public web. We read every public conversation about a category — Reddit, X, Hacker News, App Store, Play Store, Product Hunt, press — and return structured signal as JSON. Two consumption modes: as an SDK (pip install, REST, MCP), or as a custom briefing for consumer brand teams. ## What Vivly is Vivly turns the public web into structured signal. Use it via: - **SDK** (Python, Node, REST) — pay-as-you-go credits, no subscription. Starter pack $50. - **MCP server** for Claude and other MCP-compatible hosts — give your AI agent eyes on the public web. - **Custom briefings** — bespoke category reports for consumer brand teams. Currently in production with the San Antonio Spurs. ## Primary endpoints - `v.search(query, sources, window)` — clustered themes, sentiment, attributed quotes. 1 credit per call. - `v.dataset(query, sources, format)` — full posts and comment threads, JSONL output, thread shape preserved. 5 credits per call. - `v.track(query, sources)` — continuous monitoring on a topic. 10 credits per day active. - `v.embed(content)` — pre-embedded vectors for retrieval. 0.1 credit per call. ## Sources | Source | Freshness | Fields | |---|---|---| | Reddit | 5 min | post · comments · score · depth · author | | X | 10 min | tweet · replies · likes · author · topic | | Hacker News | 5 min | story · comments · points · threading | | App Store | 1 hr | review · rating · version · country | | Play Store | 1 hr | review · rating · version · country | | Product Hunt | 1 hr | launch · maker · comments · upvotes | | Press | daily | headline · publication · follow-on commentary | ## Pricing Two tiers, no free tier: 1. **Top-up credits** (self-serve, pay-as-you-go) — Starter $50 / Builder $200 / Scale $500.
