Twitter Grader API

Posted by Chris Keller on Tue, Nov 17, 2009 @ 09:48 AM
  
  
  
  

The Twitter Grader API allows you to retrieve the grade of any Twitter user via their username.

1. Request API Access here:  http://twitter.grader.com/accessrequestform

2. Once you have received an email containing your API Key (may take up to a week), you can proceed to step 3 below.

3. The URL for making API requests:

With XML returned:

  • http://twitter.grader.com/api/grade/dharmesh.xml?APIKey=abc123

With JSON return:

  • http://twitter.grader.com/api/grade/dharmesh.json?APIKey=abc123

That’s it, you’re using the API.

Notes:

1. We are currently only providing the grade, and do not plan to add any more data from the user’s profile to the returned result. Please use the native Twitter API to grab that data.

2. For those familiar with the Twitter API, we are querying for the user on the id field using their screen_name (username), not the user_id field or value.

The followers for my account seems to be broken. I have more followers with rankings in the upper 90 and even 1 twitter elite for his town that do not show up for my account. Something has to be wrong.

I changed my twitter user name from @jodigranok to @organizingmagic 
 
but on your website grader, it is basing my twitter grade on my old user name stats. Help?

Why is grader tweeting for me? I don't have anything auto set up here.

Yvonne, my apologies. Please see the post I wrote here explaining everything.

Aside from a little downtime, the TG API is fine. Thanks.

I'm confused how you grade sites. For instance @GreekShow gets a grading of 99.93 but they don't even have a twitter site. Doesn't seem fair to everyone else. . .

You seem to have a problem analyzing numeric twitter account names. 
Try to analyze @41414141's account. 
Doesn't work!

Are you able to tell me how my location never get picked up? For instance my location on profile is United kingdom but when I go to top 50 for that location it is full of people ranked way below on rank? 
 
Many thanks in anticipation

Hello, 
 
I would like to create a list of "The 100 Most Powerful Black Women on Twitter" similar to your list of "The 100 Most Powerful Women on Twitter" for Black Web 2.0. Do I need special permission to do that? Do you mind if I create a similar table?

My Twitter page @iPlusMarketing went from months of getting a 100 grade to overnight getting 7 grade. Can you fix the problem?
