Global Relay Event Archiving API vs Tweet Archivist

Global Relay Event Archiving API sends social media, collaboration, and customer experience events into Global Relay Archive. It supports more than 40 event types, including posts, replies, profile updates, and other user activity. Global Relay authenticates, validates, transforms, and stores submitted data so archive users can discover and analyze it. Applications must be registered and declare the data types they will archive. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials; endpoints require HTTPS and follow HTTP/1.1, and any language with an HTTP library can call them. Each source platform needs its own credential set, while attachments must first be uploaded to the files endpoint. Listed connectors include Jira Cloud, LinkedIn, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Salesforce Chatter, WhatsApp Business, Zoom, and Webex. Archived content is stored in a WORM-compliant, tamper-proof format with integrity checks and chain-of-custody tracking. Retention is configurable, with legal hold, advanced search, and exports to PST, EML, FTP, DVD, or hard drive. Pricing is on request.

Tweet Archivist is a web service for analyzing, visualizing, and preserving Twitter data. It covers engagement metrics, follower growth, tweet performance, hashtag activity, sentiment, word clouds, heatmaps, and tweet-type breakdowns. Charts include engagement and volume views, tweet timelines, word clouds, and posting-activity heatmaps. Archived tweets can be searched and filtered, with media preservation, deleted-tweet recovery from the archive, and link sharing. You can upload an official X data export ZIP for analysis without API access. Free accounts show a preview, while paid plans provide the full dashboard. For profiles you do not own, scraping returns recent tweets up to the plan limit; your own export can provide complete history. Exports include Excel, CSV, JSON, or direct database integration. It offers a free plan, a 14-day trial, and paid plans from $29/mo. Archives may take up to 72 hours.
