APIs & Data

At Meltwater, we believe that data shouldn’t exist in a vacuum. When you blend data from your own applications or third-party BI systems with media data, you can uncover insights that benefit all sides of your organisation. With a Meltwater API, users can extract, contextualise, organise and integrate information from across the web and gain a 360 overview of your business and its eco-system. Let our team of API experts show you how.

Measuring What Matters

Executives use Meltwater API to:

  • Identify aggregate trends in real-time
  • Understand brand performance
  • Analyse key movements and influencers in the market
  • Generate a greater analytical understanding of their customers 

"First, it gives us the reach, engagement and sentiment data that we're looking for, above and beyond our own channels. We're not just interested in understanding how our own posts perform, we want to know what the larger conversation looks like. Second, with the automation, we are able to automatically pull data into our own internal dashboards, which is incredibly valuable from a time perspective."

Testimonials

Lauren Hackett - Senior Vice President Global Communications, The Economist

Lauren Hackett - Senior Vice President Global Communications, The Economist

"One of the biggest challenges we had was putting that all together into a comprehensive, insightful presentation that would allow us to really have a clear picture of where we are across the board, also a deeper dive into the insights from there. Previously we had numbers, but we didn't know what was behind the numbers."

Nate Haken - Programs Director, Fund For Peace

"We produce an annual assessment called the Fragile States Index, which appears in Foreign Policy magazine. We spend a massive amount of time scanning millions of articles and extracting Excel spreadsheets. We were thrilled to know Meltwater could take our 8000-plus Boolean search strings and upload them into their platform. Meltwater streamlines our research process, saving us valuable time."
