About The Archivist

The Archivist is a service that uses the Twitter Search API to find and archive tweets.

The Archivist does not have access to the Twitter "firehose" (ie., all the tweets ever on a subject). As such, the tweets archived by The Archivist are not guaranteed to represent a complete historical record of a given term or search. Read the FAQ to learn more about The Archivist.

Visualizations are graphic representations of the data your archives. Visualizations generated by The Archivist may not represent a complete historical record. Use The Archivist to help you understand trends such as the number of Tweets over time, top users and words, sentiment, and more.
