What's new in Xoru.

GET /api/v1/ranking-threads returns the Google Page 1 threads discovered for your tracked keywords, with the ranked keyword, Google position, SERP source, AI visibility score, gap summary, and workflow status. Filter with status=active, done, skipped, or all, and page with limit, offset, and since. POST /api/v1/ranking-threads/[id]/status updates one thread: send a status of active, done, or skipped, a seen flag, or both. Repeat calls with the same values are idempotent. The new ranking_threads:read and ranking_threads:write scopes are opt-in per key.

POST /api/v1/scans starts an opportunity scan for your account and returns the result summary: scan id, opportunities found, posts scanned, platforms, sources, remaining monthly scans, and the next available scan time. The new scans:write scope is opt-in per key. API scans reuse the same monthly plan allowance, scan interval, Founder daily cap, and active-source checks as the in-app scan, so an agent cannot scan more often than you can. Scans run on demand and return a summary, then you read the new opportunities from GET /api/v1/opportunities. If a scan fails, the quota slot is released.

Read and write your own Xoru account data over a scoped JSON API. Create keys in Settings, query opportunities, brand and competitor mentions, topics, tracked engagement, and weekly reports, then generate reply drafts, mark opportunities done, and save mentions. Monitor usage per key. Limits scale with your plan: Pro includes 60 requests/min and 25,000/month with 2 keys, Founder 120/min and 100,000/month with 5 keys, and Growth 300/min and 500,000/month with 10 keys. Custom plans start at 600/min with custom volume. Keys are hashed at rest, shown once, revocable, and every request is attributed to your account.
