Where to get each key

You only need a few of these. Paste a value into the matching field above and click Save. All keys are optional except one AI model key.

1. AI model key — pick one needed for sentiment

Mention counts (Share of Voice) work with no key. Sentiment, themes, and the executive report need one AI key. Gemini and Groq are free.

Gemini — free — Get key
Groq — free, fast — Get key
OpenAI — paid — Get key
OpenRouter — paid, many models incl. Claude — Get key
DeepSeek — paid — Get key

2. Facebook source optional

Enables the Facebook source. Just add the token — that's all you need. By default it finds Facebook Pages matching your brand. Uses your Apify credits per run.

Apify API token — Get token (starts with apify_api_)

Advanced — only if you want to swap the actor. Leave both fields blank to use the default (apify/facebook-search-scraper). To use a different Apify Facebook actor, set:

Apify Facebook actor — the actor id as owner/name (e.g. apify/facebook-posts-scraper).
APIFY_FB_ACTOR_INPUT (in .env) — a JSON template matching that actor's inputs. Use __QUERY__ for the brand and __LIMIT__ for the count. Examples:
{"categories":["__QUERY__"],"resultsLimit":__LIMIT__}
{"searchQuery":"__QUERY__","maxPosts":__LIMIT__}

Tip: open the actor's page on Apify → Input tab to see its exact field names. If you skip the template, the default (categories/resultsLimit) is sent.

3. Unblock scrapers when hosted online optional

Free sources get blocked from data-center servers. Add a residential proxy so scraping still works when the app is deployed (not needed when you run it on your own PC).

Scraper proxy URL — any residential proxy, format http://user:pass@host:port — Webshare, IPRoyal
Apify proxy password — alternative, needs a paid Apify plan — Get password

4. Bluesky source optional

Enables the Bluesky source. Free. Use an app password, not your account password.

Bluesky handle — e.g. you.bsky.social
Bluesky app password — Create one
