Audience API
The Audience API provides aggregate demographic information about customer-defined collections of Twitter users.
API Summary
The Audience API makes it possible to understand the aggregate demographic characteristics of any set of Twitter users. By understanding who is engaged with any topic, conversation, influencer or event, companies can make better product and marketing decisions, leading to increased brand affinity, revenue and ROI.
It’s now easier than ever to explore audiences of interest; in addition to building audiences with custom groups of Twitter users, you can now view audience insights about:
- The followers of any public Twitter account.
- A brand’s owned organic audience (reached and engaged).
- A brand’s first-party data (via Tailored Audiences).
For any audience, you can retrieve aggregate demographic details across the following user models, built with both private and public signals: Gender, Interest, Language, Location, TV Genre, TV Show, Wireless Device Type and Wireless Carrier.
