Fuentes y licencias

Qué fuentes públicas leemos — y cuáles rechazamos

Una fuente alimenta un informe solo si se cumplen dos cosas: su veredicto de licencia es utilizable, y existe un conector. Un veredicto rojo es una fuente que rechazamos, no una que nos falta — y ninguna cifra de ningún informe viene de otro sitio que de esta lista.

  • Verde — Gratuita, autorizada o API oficial — se lee libremente.
  • Ámbar — Permitida pero de pago, con límite de ritmo o bajo clave — se abre con una clave de pago.
  • Rojo — Condiciones que lo prohíben, o precio solo para grandes cuentas — rechazada; nunca se conecta.

Demanda — señal comunitaria

Wikimedia Pageviews Resuelve hasta paísVerde Gratis free (no key; UA required)Sin conectarFree, keyless and language-partitioned (a real FR/ES parity lever) — and it measures encyclopedic ATTENTION, not commercial intent. Scoped 2026-08-06 as the keyless way to lift the hard-demand confidence cap, then refused: at the time the completeness check counted calls and not kinds, so wiring it into the probe scope would have raised confidence 0.5→0.7 on a measurement of the wrong thing, invisibly. That hole is now closed at the runtime (only intent measurements count toward the cap), so the cap no longer depends on this refusal holding — but the refusal stands on its own merits. Wire it as EVIDENCE (a topic-attention reading rendered as such) if wired at all; never as an intent provider (the intent-provider list is the only thing that lifts the cap).

Discourse public JSON (per-forum allow-list) Resuelve hasta todo el mundoÁmbar Clave requerida free (per-forum rate limits; API key optional/per-forum)Sin conectarG1 2026-08-06: software surface is sanctioned JSON; each forum's ToS is the real gate. G5 verified reachability of several public /search.json endpoints but found no host whose terms affirmatively permit automated commercial retrieval of post text — the allow-list is therefore empty. Never unsolicited multi-forum crawl. Wire only allow-listed instances, each as its own row marked built.
Forum threads via Google (DataForSEO SERP) Resuelve hasta paísÁmbar De pago PAYGSin conectarThe discussion threads Google itself lists for a query, read through the same paid search-data provider as the search-volume probe: titles, hosts and post counts of Reddit, Nextdoor, Quora and trade-forum threads, never the posts' text. Not wired yet: the connector is a named lot; until it lands, a local-service idea reads only the search-volume probe and the Stack Exchange room of its trade, and refuses honestly when those are silent.
YouTube Data API v3 Resuelve hasta todo el mundoÁmbar Clave requerida free (10k quota units/day; search.list costs 100 each)Sin conectarBuilt as G3 (PR #21) and refused on 2026-08-06 — not on the licence, which is workable, but on two clauses our pipeline cannot satisfy today. API ToS III.E.4.h: a developer must not 'use the YouTube API Services to create derived scores or metrics' — the demand score IS one, and the scoring step has no per-source exclusion path, so a YouTube signal's engagement reaches the score through the engagement term and its text through the pain blend. III.E.4.d requires stored API data to be refreshed or deleted within 30 days — incompatible with a buyer's permanent report and with frozen replay corpora holding full signal text in git. Quota makes it scarce too (one 100-unit search.list per keyword ⇒ ~100 keywords/day for a whole deployment), but scarcity is not why it is refused. Wire only behind a context-only path that keeps a source out of every scored quantity, plus a real retention mechanism. Until then the content-creator idea class has no community source, and the report says so rather than implying one.

Apple Media Services Terms: a user 'may not use any software, device, automated process … to scrape, copy, or perform measurement, analysis, or monitoring of, any portion of the Content or Services' — measurement is the one word that names what a demand read does. Researched 2026-08-06 (G1 source 4); liveness is not a licence. Filed under commerce, next to the Shopify App-Store row, because it is a store surface, though the use we wanted was demand-side review-pain for the mobile-app idea class. No free legal twin exists: both stores keep competitive review APIs owner-only and the third parties are paid resellers, so that class gets Stack Exchange plus search intent, and is told review-pain is absent rather than left to assume it was covered.
