Sentiment Analysis data now available in the Details Page API

1. What's new?

We're excited to announce that Sentiment Analysis data for social media mentions (from X and Bluesky) is now available in the Altmetric Details Page API.

2. Value and user impact

• A new level of analysis: This enhancement allows you to perform in-depth, offline analysis of your research's qualitative reception, helping you better understand and report on its true impact. The sentiment scores range from strongly negative (-3) to strongly positive (+3), as detailed on our Support portal.

• Get a complete picture: The Altmetric Details Page API allows you to quickly find out everything you need to know about an individual DOI or Journal ID for research or visualization purposes, with real-time access to counts and even full text of mentions, depending on the level of subscription. The addition of Sentiment Analysis data provides an even more comprehensive dataset, enabling you to integrate sentiment insights into your own reports and presentations.
