Platform Capabilities
Curious what’s trackable on each platform? Here’s how Keyhole works across social media, blogs, forums, and news sites—what you can monitor, where limits apply, and how far back data goes.
Keyhole collects real-time data from social platforms, blogs, forums, and news sources. Depending on the platform, you can track hashtags, keywords, mentions, or posts from specific accounts.
Some platforms (like Instagram and Facebook) require account authentication through Watchlist or Profile Analytics to unlock full access. YouTube data is limited to the channels you've specified.
