ByteStack connects to over 13,000 web sources across social media, professional networks, video platforms, search engines, and developer communities. When you run a query, you can target a specific set of platforms or cast a wide net across all available sources. This page covers which platforms are supported, what data is available from each, and how to specify sources in your queries.

​
Major supported platforms

X (Twitter)

Posts, replies, reposts, quote tweets, and user profiles. Ideal for tracking brand mentions, trending topics, and real-time public sentiment.

Reddit

Posts, comments, upvotes, and subreddit metadata. Useful for community discussions, product feedback, and niche audience research.

LinkedIn

Posts, job listings, company pages, and professional profiles. Best for B2B research, industry trends, and hiring signals.

Instagram

Captions, hashtags, engagement metrics, and public profile data. Suited for influencer research and brand visibility on visual content.

YouTube

Video titles, descriptions, comments, and channel metadata. Use for tracking product reviews, tutorials, and influencer coverage.

TikTok

Video captions, hashtags, comments, and creator profiles. Useful for trend discovery and short-form content analysis.

Facebook

Public posts, group discussions, page content, and profile data. Helpful for community research and demographic insights.

Google

Search results, news articles, and web mentions. Covers editorial coverage, press mentions, and public knowledge graph data.

GitHub

Repositories, issues, pull requests, README content, and developer profiles. Best for open-source monitoring and developer ecosystem research.

​
Specifying sources in a query

By default, ByteStack searches across all available sources. To target specific platforms, pass a sources array in your query with one or more source identifiers: 
{
  "prompt": "What are developers saying about our SDK on Reddit and GitHub?",
  "sources": ["reddit", "github"],
  "limit": 100
}
To explicitly search all sources, use the "all" shorthand: 
{
  "prompt": "How many times has Acme been mentioned this month?",
  "sources": ["all"],
  "date_range": {
    "from": "2026-04-01",
    "to": "2026-04-30"
  }
}
Using "sources": ["all"] is equivalent to omitting the sources parameter entirely. It is useful when you want to be explicit in saved queries or job configurations that you intend to search broadly.

​
Source identifiers

Use these identifiers in the sources array:
PlatformIdentifier
X (Twitter)"x"
Reddit"reddit"
LinkedIn"linkedin"
Instagram"instagram"
YouTube"youtube"
TikTok"tiktok"
Facebook"facebook"
Google"google"
GitHub"github"
All sources"all"

Coverage at a glance

ByteStack’s coverage spans the breadth of the public web, not just the major platforms listed above:
  • 13,000+ total sources available
  • 94,000+ API endpoints across those sources
  • 230 million+ data points collected and indexed
The full source catalog includes news sites, forums, review platforms, job boards, and more. When you use "sources": ["all"], ByteStack routes your query across the complete catalog and returns the most relevant results.
For brand monitoring or competitive research, start with "sources": ["all"] to get broad coverage, then narrow to specific platforms once you identify where the most signal is coming from.
