Hey folks I built SociallisteningAPI as a easy way to give your agents access to social listening data.

You can use the API directly or connect the MCP to Claude/ChatGPT and ask questions like "give me brand mentions for <xyz>".

Let me know how you like it. We're always open to suggestions.

We have our own in-house scrapers but most are 3rd party api solutions.

Use a nice large maul. Will go through most wood like a butter knife.

I stupidly used a axe for a long time.

I've got 13 chargebacks over the last 4 years for my biz. Out of these, 10 came from US based cards. The other 3 came from Australia(my country).

Be careful when taking verbatim advice from internet strangers.

I run a saas and we get this every now and then.

As a rule of thumb, when you get a chargeback you need to completely ban the customer from your db. This includes:

- card ban - email address ban - fingerprint their access and ban

This will save you a lot of hassle when they try to signup/buy your product again and cause you the same amount of grief.

I felt that it was AI-assisted rather, and had actually decent info.

Literally had a similar experience with X today.

Was browsing when all of a sudden my account got suspended for no apparent reason. This was a premium account too, and I had last posted a tweet last year. I would maybe comment here and there once a week.

Ok cool you suspended my account. But when I tried to access my billing details to cancel the premuim sub, I got a "Something went wrong" error.

All these big tech companies have the same billing issues after bans/suspensions. Once they decide you're persona non grata, they don't give a f about cancelling your billing.

Tangentially, if you're looking for an open-source alternative, Operational.co will fit the bill(I'm the founder).

Only major difference is - Operational is meant to be integrated inside your product whereas Pushover is a general purpose tool.

Nah it's pretty bad. Me and you are in the tech sphere and we know the backstory.

But imagine mom or dad viewing this screenshot and getting creeped out because of the red icon.
