[Air-L] New Historical X/Twitter Access Point Approved

[Stuart Shulman]

Texifter has received approval from X to launch a fee-for-service academic
and market research access point to the full public history of X/Twitter.

The new access point, XSifter.com, will replicate and improve upon Sifter,
a web service provided by Texifter from 2014-2018.

We are finalizing the terms and moving toward a launch date later this
spring. This is a three-month pilot. The total available data will be
limited and Texifter cannot expand it.

We anticipate a pre-sale of data blocks. The lowest price per unit will go
to those who purchase the largest three-block subscriptions in advance of
the start date. We envision pre-sale subscription blocks containing between
50,000 and 1,000,000 Tweets in fixed 28-day collection periods.

Data blocks can be used for various projects until the four-week quota is
exhausted. If the three-month subscriptions do not exhaust the quota by the
launch of the pilot, we will offer one-time non-subscription sales.

There are certain restrictions called for under the agreement. Research
access to licensed data is limited to one year from the load date. Data
will be stored and studied in DiscoverText. There are no raw JSON or CSV
options. One of the reasons this agreement was approved is that Texifter
uses the X/Twitter display inside DiscoverText to ensure deleted,
suspended, and protected Tweets are not viewed.

You can learn more about prohibited use cases targeting sensitive
categories in the X documentation.

Please book a meeting if you have questions or would like further
discussions.
