In development Written by fixed rules from this reading’s stored figures. No model writes them.
On Reddit, 31 distinct people posted about Claude API between 23 March to 29 March 2026: 35 posts, 0.04% of all Reddit posts that week (100.0% of these posts had an identifiable author).
Reddit · 23–29 Mar 2026 · author coverage 100.0% · 7 days: 7 active
1 more statement withheld. Bluesky: its figure is hidden (n 4 people, below the provisional threshold of 10 (set before launch)).
What this reading rests on
| Platform | Days counted | How the posts were collected |
|---|---|---|
| 7 of 7 | Collected live | |
| Bluesky | 7 of 7 | Collected live |
| YouTube | 7 of 7 | Collected live |
| Hacker News | 7 of 7 | Collected live |
| arXiv | 7 of 7 | Collected live2 days low capture, 1 day late heavy |
Not counted: Google News, this platform was active that day, but collection has since stopped, so nothing more will arrive.
Not counted: Exa, not being collected yet.
A day counts once it has settled: once the posts still expected for it are below the threshold, or, for posts loaded afterwards from an archive, once they’re loaded. Coverage day by day is in this reading’s conditions. How coverage is recorded.
This reading was made with methods that are still being validated. Every figure says which state it’s in.
Why: The method is still being validated.

Claude API in each platform’s table
Where Claude API sits among every ranked subject on each platform. The heavy mark is Claude API; every thin mark is another subject.
#24 of 46 on Reddit160 people · Claude 13,532 (#1)
46 ranked subjects, each a tick on Reddit’s own people scale, 0 to 13,532. 39 more subjects aren’t ranked: their people figures are hidden (n 0–14 people, below the threshold of 20), so they aren’t drawn.
Not ranked on Hacker News: n 1 people, below the threshold of 20 people.
Distinct people who posted about each subject on each platform, 23–29 Mar 2026, as of 25 Sep 2026 19:30Z, from release 2026-W13’s summary table (published). Each strip is on its own scale and nothing is added across platforms: one person can post on several. arXiv, Google News and Exa carry articles, which have no authors, so they have no ranking by people.

Posts published 23–29 Mar 2026, as of 23 Sep 2026 18:23Z; in development. People count distinct platform identities and are never added across platforms. Share is Claude API’s posts over all posts AIDRAN captured on that platform in the window. Reddit’s posts include its comments. There’s no normal share to compare with yet: a baseline needs earlier weeks of this subject. Choose any number to see what it rests on and the posts behind it.

The one community this reading stores; the rest of the track is posts in communities it doesn’t list.
Posts about Claude API by community, 23–29 Mar 2026, as of 23 Sep 2026 18:23Z; in development. Each platform is drawn on its own scale. The word after each community is its type: who is there, not what it’s about (users are people who use one AI product; builders build with AI). A post counts once, in the community it was posted in.

Change
No reading for the week before (2026-W12).
Change compares this reading with the previous stored reading of the same subject, usually last week’s, and both endpoints stay visible with their dates. Each value carries its n; open it for its full conditions, coverage included. Stored weeks, above, cross eras, which marks a change in how weeks were captured: March era weeks were rebuilt from archives, with live capture from 7 Mar to 31 May, Archive backfill weeks were backfilled from archives (Reddit, Hacker News and arXiv only) and September era weeks were captured live from 16 Sep and filled in from archives.
