Is there an API that can access Twitter analytics [closed]

Question

I am planning to create a dashboard for a client regarding their twitter account's stats like daily tweets and retweets. I was able to access this (count only) but I am hoping to access these and backtrack stats from years ago. But twitter does not allow this.

Is there any other alternative on showing these stats with dates along with it? I was also hoping of accessing the Twitter analytics just like what I successfully did with my Google API dashboard. Although according here https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/2281 it is still impossible for Twitter.

I badly need this. Thank you guys in advance for your time.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, Twitter does not provide an API for analytics data.

Sources, straight from Twitter itself:

• https://twittercommunity.com/t/twitter-analytics-api/27296
• https://twittercommunity.com/t/analytics-twitter-com-apis/25242

You might be able to do something with the "Export" (CSV) functionality present in the analytics dashboard, though. Best of luck!

Answer 2

I've been looking for a Twitter API for our group as well. There are two ways that you can go about getting access to an API for Twitter Analytics:

1. If you've got a big budget, you can go straight to the source. Twitter has a service called GNIP that allows you access to pretty much data on all tweets since the beginning of Twitter. More specifically, GNIP has a GNIP Insights API that provides all the information that Twitter Analytics does.
2. Find a partner that has purchased access to GNIP (Datasift for example). Usually these companies "resell" the data provided by GNIP, but restrict you to a set amount of topics or accounts that you want data for.
