How this service works
Unverified public-channel chatter for one topic (?topic=), posted in the last 48 hours. Returns every raw message with its platform, source URL and timestamp, plus a grey_ref you can recompute as sha256(url + NUL + ts + NUL + text), and an LLM trend summary with an echo-chamber concentration index. NOT official fact and NOT a forecast; the summary is not offline-reproducible - only the per-item grey_ref is. Nothing posted in the window -> 422 no_charge, not billed. $0.02 per call.
Output
A JSON response containing every raw message posted in the last 48 hours for the requested topic, each with its platform name, source URL, timestamp, and a sha256-based grey_ref hash (sha256(url + NUL + ts + NUL + text)). Also includes an LLM-generated trend summary and an echo-chamber concentration index. Returns HTTP 422 no_charge (unbilled) if no posts exist in the window.
Example use cases

Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.truthbear.co/shadow/chatterWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need raw, unfiltered public-channel chatter for a specific topic within the last 48 hours, complete with verifiable grey_ref hashes and an echo-chamber concentration metric. It is well-suited for agents that need both raw message provenance and a high-level LLM trend narrative in a single call. Prefer alternatives (like a structured news API or a verified facts service) when you need authoritative, fact-checked information or forecasts — this endpoint explicitly disclaims that its content is unofficial and unverified.
Side effects
- 422 no_charge: no messages found for the topic in the 48-hour window — call is not billed
- 422 no_charge: topic not in the in-stock catalog (check /shadow/catalog first)
- Invalid or missing topic query parameter causing a 400-level error
- Network timeout or 5xx if the aggregation pipeline is overloaded
