Brand monitoring tracks mentions of your brand, products, and executives across news media. It helps PR and comms teams catch reputational issues early, measure share of voice against competitors, and quantify the business impact of campaigns and launches. ### Which sources does APITube cover for brand monitoring? APITube aggregates 500,000+ verified sources across 180+ countries and 60+ languages, including national and trade press, business outlets, broadcast affiliates, and online-native publishers. Source authority is scored so you can filter for tier-1 coverage only. ### Can I track sentiment for my brand mentions? Yes. Every article is enriched with sentiment polarity (positive, neutral, negative) at both the document and entity level, so you can isolate negative sentiment toward your brand specifically — even in articles that also mention competitors. ### How fast does APITube detect new brand mentions? Most articles are indexed within minutes of publication. For breaking-news detection you can subscribe to the streaming endpoint, which pushes new matches in near real time as they are ingested. ### How do I benchmark brand share of voice against competitors? Pair your brand keyword with competitor entity filters and group by source authority and geography. Time-series queries return mention counts per brand per day so you can chart relative share of voice across markets and campaigns. ### Can I get alerts when sentiment turns negative? Yes. Combine a brand entity filter with sentiment.overall.polarity=negative and breaking-news flags, then route results to webhooks, Slack, or your PR alerting system to trigger response workflows automatically. ### Does APITube replace social listening tools? APITube focuses on editorial and news media, which complements social listening. Many brand teams pair APITube (for press coverage, trade media, and broadcast affiliates) with a social-listening platform to get a complete picture of brand conversation. ### What integrations are available for brand monitoring workflows? APITube data exports to JSON, XML, CSV, and TSV, and integrates with BI tools (Tableau, Power BI, Looker), CRM systems, Zapier, and custom dashboards via standard REST endpoints. PR-suite integrations are also supported via webhook routing. ## Related solutions - [Media Monitoring](https://apitube.io/solutions/media-monitoring) - [Sentiment Analysis](https://apitube.io/solutions/analysis-of-public-opinion-sentiments) - [Market Intelligence](https://apitube.io/solutions/market-intelligence) - [Risk Intelligence](https://apitube.io/solutions/risk-intelligence) - [Marketing Effectiveness](https://apitube.io/solutions/evaluation-of-marketing-campaigns-effectiveness) - [All Use Cases](https://apitube.io/product/use-cases)
