Hi Devayani, I think it is possible to do it with python and/or R. I use R with rtweet For my Twitter work. I haven't tracked a link myself but I suspect you can do it with the following code in R. #--------------- library(rtweet) api_token = rtweet::create_token(app = "app_name",consumer_key = "consumer_key",consumer_secret = "consumer_secret_key",access_token = "access_token_key",access_secret = "access_secret_key",set_renv = F) link = "your_link" link_tweets = search_tweets(q = link,n = 18000,type = "recent", include_rts = TRUE,retryonratelimit = T, token = api_token) write_as_csv(x = link_tweets,file_name = "link_tweets.csv",prepend_ids = T,na = "",fileEncoding = "UTF-8") #------------------ You need to create a developer account to connect to API. It's free and it is not a big hassle. Hope it helps ?? Best, Sina

Hello list,
I have been trying to figure out how to get data about spread of a link on Twitter. I see a lot of tools that can provide data on hashtags, users, search terms but haven't figured out how to search for links on twitter. Any help is appreciated.
