Best tool for twitter analysis

December 27, 2022 7:07 AM

What’s the best tool these days for popping in OTHER PEOPLE’s twitter username and sorting its most successful tweets by reach and engagement? Date filtering would also be handy. (I know, I know…I have to be there for work! Trying to find what’s worked for similar accounts to a client’s.)

You can use Twitter's advanced search to do this.

For example, here's a search for tweets from Rihanna with at least 500,000 likes and before Sept. 2020

Examples of Twitter search parameters you can use:

* from:rihanna
* min_faves:100
* min_retweets:300
* until:2021-08-16
* since:2009-09-16

You can't exactly sort by most liked/retweeted tweets, but you can slowly increase "min_faves" until it narrows it down to a reasonable number. For example for Rihanna I just kept increasing it until I got to 500,000 which seems to be a lot of likes for her.

Also, use the "Latest" tab instead of the "Top" tab to make sure you see all the results.
