When to Use vs. Honest Limitations

→Recent & high-signal public posts vs. multi-year firehose: Designed for B2B social-listening and intent keywords; combine specific product or pain-point phrases for highest signal-to-noise precision.
→10-minute search cache window: Identical keyword + pagination requests are cached for 10 minutes (600s); paid accounts may pass ?fresh=1 to force a live upstream search.
→Chain with /v1/profile for full author enrichment: Each post includes author_username and headline; call GET /v1/profile ($1.00/1K) on qualified authors to append full company and career firmographics.

Monitor B2B buying intent, competitor mentions, and industry discussions across public professional posts.
