If users want to use SocL\u2019s managed access APIs to collect data from these sources using the feeds’ public APIs, SocL can be configured to do so. In such cases, depending on the PAI source and their terms of service, SocL may require users to create and link an application\/user token that is approved by the PAI source and configure a dedicated collection service. We respect user privacy, therefore data collected on behalf of a user is neither shared nor distributed to any third party or third party application. Contact us if you\u2019d like to use SocL\u2019s managed APIs for data collection.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”3.

The results are collected in one report. Premium Search<\/strong> provides a much wider range of search options such as streaming and historic search, and search by region, user, language, etc. The number of posts returned can be specified up to the report limit. Premium Advanced Search<\/strong> allows users to write custom queries using Boolean logic and advanced search operators.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”5.

Multiple keywords separated by spaces are executed as AND logic, i.e., posts that contain all keywords are returned. Premium Advanced Search<\/strong> uses a separate search grammar for Twitter (https:\/\/www.scraawl.com\/product\/twitter-premium-advanced-search-rules)<\/a> and Other PAI Sources (https:\/\/www.scraawl.com\/product\/rss-advanced-search-rules-2\/<\/a>).[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”6.

Multiple brand handles can be tracked in a single report. Account Monitoring<\/strong> reports appear in a designated area on the My Reports<\/strong> page. Account Monitoring<\/strong> reports include the Social Metrics<\/strong> advanced analytic which provides statistics on a brand’s reach, engagement, and impressions.

That is, posts matching your search criteria will be captured as they are posted (until you reach your report limit). This is often referred to as \u201clistening\u201d in social media.

This can be done from the elements displayed in the Basic Statistics<\/strong> dashboard or from the full list of elements displayed when the Details<\/strong> button is clicked. Click the Filter<\/strong> button on the Details<\/strong> page to select individual elements, and then click the Exclude<\/strong> selected button to hide the posts associated with the selected elements.

(2) If the user has a geographic location specified in his\/her profile, the post is geo-profiled. (3) If the user mentions a geographic location in the body of the post, the post is geo-referenced. Given these definitions, it is possible for a post to be associated with multiple locations, e.g., a user from Washington DC tweets about upcoming trip to Paris while visiting friends in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania with location services on.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”SocL Advanced Analytics” tab_id=”1485885112762-ec73e93d-a8e7″][vc_toggle title=”1.

The top 10 most influential users\/hashtags and are shown. You can drill down on any influential user or hashtag to see the influence scores for the top 10 neighbors of the user\/hashtag and their impact ratios (which represent their relative contributions to the influence score of the selected user\/hashtag).[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”5.

The model uses this information to identify up to eight abstract \u201ctopics\u201d that occur in the data set. Up to 15 top words are shown for each topic along with scores that represent the contributions of each word to the topic.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”8.
