Membit is a Context-as-a-Service (CaaS) platform that gives your AI agents
and analytics tools a direct line to what’s happening in the world right
now. We provide a constantly updated knowledge base built from global social
discussions, so your AI is always equipped with the freshest context.
How is Membit different from other data providers or social listening tools?
Traditional social listening tools are built for marketing dashboards.
Membit is built for AI. Instead of just raw data, we provide structured,
high-signal “context” that AI agents can easily understand and use. This
allows you to build applications that don’t just report on the “what,” but
understand the “why” behind real-time events.
Who is Membit for?
Membit is for anyone building with AI who needs access to real-time world
context. It’s especially powerful for:
AI Developers & Agent Builders: Create smarter, more aware
applications.
Financial Analysts: Spot market-moving trends and sentiment shifts as
they emerge.
Media & Content Creators: Discover viral stories and generate timely
content.
Brands & Marketers: Monitor brand health and gain competitive
intelligence.
Is Membit free to use during the beta period?
Yes! During our beta, Membit is free for both personal and business use. We
provide a generous starting allocation of API credits, and you can request
more anytime by joining our Discord
community.
The Membit Data Hunter program is a decentralized community that rewards you
for helping build a real-time context layer for AI. Using our browser
extension, you can gather public social data that makes AI models smarter
and more aware of current events. In return for your contributions, you earn
points and status.
What kind of content qualifies?
We look for high-signal, timely, and publicly available content. Think
breaking announcements, expert analysis, and emerging trends. The goal is to
capture credible information that adds real value to a discussion and helps
AI understand the world more accurately.
How does the rewards system work?
You earn points for every piece of valuable data you contribute. Our system
rewards you for both the quality of the information and for being early to
spot a trend. Points can be redeemed for perks like API credits, and top
contributors get recognized on our global leaderboard.
How is my contribution reviewed and used?
Your contributions go through our automated pipeline where AI validates each
post, filters out noise, and groups related content into “discussion
clusters.” This structured context is then made available to developers, who
use it to build smarter, context-aware AI applications.
What about privacy and data usage?
Your privacy is a core principle. The extension only processes publicly
available data. It does not access private messages, personal profiles, or
paywalled content. You participate as a pseudonymous contributor, and we do
not sell personal user data.
How do I get started and contribute effectively?
Install the Chrome extension and browse the web as you normally would. To
maximize your rewards, focus on your areas of expertise. Your unique
knowledge helps you spot high-signal content that others might miss,
increasing the value of your contribution to the network.
Why aren’t my points increasing even though I keep scrolling on social media?
This might happen if our system detects unusual activity on your account.
For example, sending fake posts directly to the Membit API could temporarily
pause point accumulation. If you believe this was a mistake, please reach
out to our support team or email us at membit@bandprotocol.com so we can
assist you.
We offer several ways to access our data to fit your workflow. You can use
our straightforward RESTful API, connect to our MCP server for real-time
streams, or use our official client libraries for Python and TypeScript.
What kind of data can I get from the Membit API?
The API provides access to structured “discussion clusters.” These are
collections of related social media posts, articles, and other content
centered around a specific topic or event. Your AI agents can search for
these clusters using natural language and then dive into the underlying
content to understand what real people are saying and how conversations are
evolving.
How up-to-date is the data?
Our data is updated continuously. Our global network of Data Hunters
contributes new content 24/7, and we run our clustering and analysis
pipeline every hour. This ensures the context you provide to your AI is
always fresh and relevant.
What are API credits and how are they calculated?
During our beta, every user starts with 500 API credits and receives an
additional 100 credits each day. Credits are used to pay for API calls, with
different endpoints having different costs based on their complexity. This
system ensures you only pay for the value you receive.
Are there rate limits for the API?
Your usage is primarily governed by your available API credits rather than a
traditional requests-per-second rate limit. As long as you have credits, you
can make calls. If you have high-volume needs, please
reach out to us on Discord to discuss a
custom plan.
What integrations are available for Membit?
Membit is designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing stack. We have
guides and examples for popular frameworks, including:No-Code AI Agents:
Can I request a custom data pipeline or specific data sources?
Absolutely. We understand that some applications have unique data
requirements. If you need a custom data pipeline or access to specific
sources not currently in our network, please
reach out on Discord to discuss your needs
with our team.
