Twitter sentiment analysis API for X posts with AI
2 credits per analyzed post · All plans from $0.00012/credit · Supports guest paid reads
POST /api/v1/x/analysis/sentiment.
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.
text:1, text:2, and so on.
Read the sentiment answers
results[].answers holds each decision by question ID. Store it beside the post.
Upbeat deals, ads, and giveaways that state no opinion count as
neutral.
intensity judges wording, emphasis, and emoji, not engagement counts. It can
have decimals, such as 1.4 between measured and emphatic.
sarcasm is high when the literal wording contradicts the intended attitude.
results[].analysis.answers adds the confidence of each answer and the
probability of each category or level. Use it to set your own thresholds.
Judge the attitude toward a brand
Name the brand, person, or product inanalysis.targets, with its aliases.
The AI then judges the attitude toward that target. Without targets, it judges
the attitude toward the post’s main subject.
analysisSummary.targets counts each target’s mentions and sentiment
categories. It also lists the most engaged posts per category.
Track sentiment over time
analysisSummary.questions.sentiment counts posts per category. shares holds
each category’s share of posts, and engagementShares its share of
engagement. Store both per run to chart a trend.
To read 1 day, send sinceTime and untilTime with the search. Send
username to follow 1 account’s posts.
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.
Ask your own questions
Sendanalysis.questions to ask up to 8 questions of your own. They replace
the 3 sentiment questions, and the price stays the same.
A choice picks 1 category, a score picks 1 level, and a probability answers
yes or no. Write question IDs and category names in lower case without
hyphens, such as feature_request.
