Agora

Social features, one API away.

Every app eventually needs social. Feeds, likes, comments, follows, stories. It sounds simple until you're six months into building fan-out, ranking heuristics, and abuse prevention. Agora gives you all of it through a single API so you can focus on the experience instead of the plumbing.

Whether you're adding a comment section to a blog, building a creator platform, or launching a full social product, Agora scales from a few endpoints to a complete social backend. Strong defaults out of the box, full control when you need it.

What you get

Everything in the box

The hardest pieces — fan-out, ranking, moderation — done for you. Tunable per community when you need it.

Activity feeds and timelines

Chronological, ranked, or algorithmic. Pick a feed strategy or define your own. Fan-out is handled for you at any scale.

Social graph

Follow, unfollow, block, mute. Query mutual connections, suggest people to follow, and traverse relationships through a typed API.

Reactions and comments

Likes, upvotes, emoji reactions, configurable per content type. Threaded comments with depth control and pagination built in.

Ranking algorithms

Out-of-the-box ranking that balances recency, engagement, and relevance. Tunable weights, or bring your own scoring function.

Moderation and safety

Content flagging, automated review queues, and configurable policies. Keep your community safe without building a trust and safety team.

Stories

Instagram-style ephemeral posts with view tracking, polls, close-friends visibility, and highlights. The full surface, not a stripped-down version.

Notifications

Per-actor inbox that fires automatically on follows, reactions, comments, replies, and votes. Mark-read, unread-count, bulk read-all — all built in.
