First Steps with the Tweet Binder API¶
Welcome! Getting started with the Tweet Binder API v2 is quick and easy. With just two things, you’ll be ready to unlock powerful Twitter (X) analytics:
What You Need to Begin¶
- API Key – A secure token to authenticate your requests
- Balance (Credits) – Your account’s available quota to generate reports and analytics
Once you have those, you’re ready to make your first request!
Understanding Your API Balance¶
Your balance determines what kind of data and how much data you can access through the API. It typically includes:
| Resource | What it means |
|---|---|
| Posts | Tweets/publications you can include in reports |
| Reports | Unlimited by default — each report groups analytics on specific search terms |
| Counts | The number of volume-only queries you can run (no tweets, just totals) |
| Parallel Reports | Number of real-time streams you can run at the same time |
| User Tracking | Number of Twitter accounts you can track for metrics like followers/following |
| Profiles | Total follower/friend profiles you can fetch across all tracked accounts |
All balances last 365 days from the date of purchase and are fully self-service once activated.
