API Direct gives you data tools for LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, Threads, Truth Social, TikTok, Facebook, forums, news, web search and Google Maps — PLUS a library of ready-made "skills": expert playbooks (exposed via the list_skills and get_skill tools, and as MCP prompts) that chain these tools with non-obvious filters to deliver a concrete outcome. IMPORTANT: When the user's request resembles a common business goal — finding leads, intercepting a competitor's customers, sourcing talent, monitoring brand/reputation, sourcing deals, or market research — FIRST call list_skills to check for a matching playbook, and if one fits call get_skill and follow its steps instead of improvising your own searches. The skills use filters (author_title, mentions_company, author_company, AI sentiment, freshness windows) that produce far better results than a naive search. If the user names a skill (e.g. "use the layoff-wave-interceptor skill"), call get_skill with that skill_id IMMEDIATELY — you do NOT need to call list_skills first, and you do NOT need an exact id (get_skill resolves close names). NEVER tell the user you don't have a skill without first attempting get_skill: these skills are NOT a built-in capability of yours, they live in this connector, so your own knowledge can't tell you whether one exists — only get_skill can. The full skill catalog (id — name, by category) is below; treat any of these ids as a valid get_skill argument: Lead Generation & Sales: - competitor-conquest-radar — Competitor Conquest Radar - hiring-signal-account-builder — Hiring-Signal Account Builder - just-funded-outreach-window — Just-Funded Outreach Window - switcher-harvesting-engine — Switcher Harvesting Engine - local-buying-intent-capture — Local Buying-Intent Lead Capture - pre-call-account-dossier — Pre-Call Account Dossier Recruiting & Talent: - competitor-employee-poacher — Competitor Employee Poacher - layoff-wave-interceptor — Layoff Wave Interceptor - reddit-deep-expertise-sourcer — Reddit Deep-Expertise Sourcer - creative-talent-direct-line — Creative Talent Direct Line - local-trades-talent-scout — Local Trades Talent Scout Competitive Intelligence: - market-map-similar-companies — Market Map via Similar-Companies Crawl - distress-layoff-early-warning — Distress & Layoff Early-Warning - competitor-hiring-roadmap-decoder — Competitor Hiring Roadmap Decoder - pricing-objection-miner — Pricing Objection Miner - review-weakness-miner — Review Weakness Miner - paid-creative-reverse-engineer — Paid-Creative Reverse Engineer Investing & Deal Sourcing: - series-a-inflection-detector — Series-A Inflection Detector - pe-roll-up-target-finder — PE Roll-Up Target Finder - founder-launch-signal-radar — Founder Launch-Signal Radar - turnaround-acquisition-target-finder — Turnaround Acquisition Target Finder - dtc-traction-scout — DTC Breakout Traction Scout - fresh-fundraise-detector — Fresh Fundraise Detector PR, Reputation & Crisis: - ai-serp-reputation-audit — AI-SERP Reputation Audit - crisis-amplification-tracer — Crisis Amplification Tracer - one-star-review-triage-queue — One-Star Review Triage Queue - crisis-statement-reaction-gauge — Crisis-Statement Reaction Gauge - executive-mention-tracker — Executive Mention Tracker Product & Customer Insights: - enterprise-account-health-monitor — Enterprise Account Health Monitor - churn-intent-saver — Churn-Intent Saver - feature-request-harvester — Feature Request Harvester - outage-early-warning-siren — Outage Early-Warning Siren - support-deflection-gap-finder — Support Deflection Gap-Finder - influencer-complaint-rescue — Influencer Complaint Rescue Content & Influencer: - rising-creator-early-detector — Rising-Creator Early Detector - creator-contact-extractor — Creator Contact Extractor - viral-tiktok-pattern-miner — Viral TikTok Pattern Miner - tweet-amplifier-outreach-list — Amplifier Outreach List - niche-youtube-creator-leaderboard — Niche YouTube Creator Leaderboard OSINT & Due Diligence: - storefront-to-human-contact-bridge — Storefront-to-Human Contact Bridge - adverse-media-sweep — Adverse Media Sweep - cross-platform-identity-resolver — Cross-Platform Identity Resolver - cited-dossier-verifier — Cited Dossier Verifier - reviewer-footprint-tracker — Reviewer Footprint Tracker Cross-Platform Power Plays: - trend-to-founder-to-inbox — Trend-to-Founder-to-Inbox - local-smb-lead-gauntlet — Local SMB Lead Gauntlet - cross-platform-demand-triangulation — Cross-Platform Demand Triangulation - city-market-entry-scan — City Market-Entry Scan Brand & Social Listening: - omnichannel-brand-sentiment-pulse — Omnichannel Brand Sentiment Pulse - ugc-advocate-creator-finder — UGC Advocate & Creator Finder - cross-platform-video-share-of-voice — Cross-Platform Video Share-of-Voice - employee-advocacy-vs-official-voice — Employee Advocacy vs Official Voice - high-reach-detractor-radar — High-Reach Detractor Radar Market Research & Trends: - geo-trend-divergence-radar — Geo-Trend Divergence Radar - local-category-complaint-miner — Local Category Complaint Miner - buyer-intent-serp-ai-map — Buyer-Intent SERP and AI-Overview Map - hiring-demand-leading-indicator — Hiring-as-Demand Leading Indicator - cross-platform-trend-validation-funnel — Cross-Platform Trend Validation Funnel Local & Places: - local-contact-harvester — Local Contact Harvester - unhappy-customer-winback-miner — Unhappy-Customer Win-Back Miner - owner-decision-maker-outreach-chain — Owner Decision-Maker Outreach Chain - local-ai-visibility-audit — Local AI Visibility Audit - new-location-expansion-signal-detector — New-Location Expansion Signal Detector
