Coverage and gaps

Request a sample for your target accounts and dates. Inspect missing periods, duplicate posts, and source metadata.

Maintenance

Identify who owns access changes, failed collection, and parser updates. Include that work when evaluating cost.

Access and use

Review the platform and provider terms for the collection method and intended use. Retention and redistribution rules can affect the workflow.

Enrichment

Check how sentiment and entities are labeled. Inspect representative posts, including sarcasm, quoted speech, and multiple-company mentions.

What a useful result contains

A result should let you return to the original post and understand how it was selected.

Author and date

Keep the account identifier, publication date, and original source link with the post.

Text and labels

Review the post text alongside sentiment and entity labels when available.

Searchable history

State the tracked accounts and dates covered. Historical availability varies by account.

Frequently asked questions

How should I compare the cost of historical post access?

Estimate the accounts, time range, volume, and fields needed. Compare current provider pricing with the cost of collection and enrichment for that scope.

What should I check before collecting posts?

Review access permissions, provider terms, retention, and intended use. The relevant requirements depend on the method and workflow.
