api - How to count total twitter shares accurately like Buzzsumo -
i working on script tries find total shares of blog post or youtube video via url or title.
i'm trying create similar buzzsumo. if aren't aware, buzzsumo website searches content online , ranks in terms of social shares.
they able total share count twitter, though twitter disabled feature in api since 2014.
i've tried these 2 methods
1.) use twitter api search tweets mention url or title. (this isn't accurate because twitter api allows me fetch tweets no more 9 days old.)
2.) used twitter scraper scrape tweets in history mention url or title. (this method takes long time process if post popular)
but results seem vary compared buzzsumo's. times vary close buzzsumo , far off.
for example when searching buzzsumo popular linking articles brought post had 1400 twitter shares, run same article through scarper , 1380 (quite close), article buzzsumo 1100 shares , 108 (quite far off).
questions
- am accurately counting total number of twitter shares.
- is there more accurate way can total twitter shares post.
- is buzzsumo accurately counting total twitter shares. , how assume calculate there total shares.
thanks
