Twitter news monitoring API to classify posts
2 credits per analyzed post · All plans from $0.00012/credit · Supports guest paid reads
POST /api/v1/x/analysis/news.
Name the topic in
analysis.targets. The answers classify what a post says.
They do not check whether its claims are true.
Name the topic
Put the topic inanalysis.targets, with its other names as aliases. A topic
can be an event, a company, a person, a ticker, or a product.
relevance is high only when the post names the topic or reports an event
about it. Posts about the same industry, competitors, or the wider market do
not count. Filter rows on relevance before you count answers.
Read the news answers
results[].answers holds each decision by question ID.
attribution says whether a source is given. It does not rate the source.
Separate reports from rumors
Keepreporting with named or linked attribution for sourced news. Watch
speculation with absent attribution for rumors that spread without a
source.
analysisSummary.questions.format.shares holds each format’s share of posts.
Store it per run to see when speculation outgrows reporting.
Track the sources
results[].sourceDomains lists the sites each post links to. The summary’s
sourceDomains counts posts per site, most posts first, up to 20.
For more posts than 1 call returns, send the same body again with cursor set
to next_cursor. Add sinceTime and untilTime to read 1 day or 1 hour.
Pick the posts to analyze
SendtweetIds, texts, or a search, never more than 1. Sending none, or more
than 1, returns 400 invalid_input.
A search combines every search field you send into 1 X search.
queryType sets the order, Latest or Top. For more posts than 1 call
returns, send the same search again with cursor set to next_cursor. Stop
when has_next_page is false.
Compare with an earlier answer
Send theresults of an earlier call as baseline to see what changed. Each
row in the new results gets monitor, and analysisSummary.monitor counts
the posts per status. The comparison costs nothing extra.
id, or tweet.id, and its answers. Send
whole result rows when you have them. Their monitor carries the settings’
fingerprint, so rows from other settings show as not_comparable.
A decision counts as changed only when the new answer clearly leaves the old
one, so near ties between calls stay
unchanged. Keep analysis the same
between calls for comparable answers.
Budget the analysis
Each analyzed post costs 2 credits. Each text intexts costs the same. Posts
in unanalyzed cost nothing.
When credits cover fewer posts than you asked for, fewer come back. The posts
left over appear in unanalyzed with insufficient_credits. If credits cover
no post, the call returns 402 insufficient_credits.

analysis.targets.
