Twitter Analytics for Researchers
Build a documented public-post sample for analysis outside the platform.
Plan the review
Choose the data source
Upload your own X archive for aggregate posting insights, or use a paid plan to collect available public posts for search and export.
Check the period
Inspect coverage before comparing accounts or drawing conclusions. An upload or collection only reflects the data available in that source.
Keep the context
Record source URLs, dates and metric definitions alongside the review.
A practical workflow
Define the sample
Record profile handles or known post URLs, collection dates and your inclusion rules. This is bounded collection rather than a complete platform dataset.
Inspect coverage
Review the archive date range and missing fields. Deleted, protected or unavailable posts may be absent. Automated text-tone scores need human validation.
Export reproducibly
Apply text, date and tweet-type filters. Export collected records as CSV, XLSX or JSON, with at most 50,000 rows per export. Retain your methods and original source URLs.
Review limits
Before sharing or relying on a result
An uploaded personal X ZIP produces aggregate insights. It does not import posts into the searchable collected archive.
Before sharing or relying on a result
The service does not provide a direct database integration or certify sample completeness.
