Monitoring tags on Tumblr, Instagram, Pinterest etc
Hi all Does anyone know of an easy way of keeping track of tags over time in Tumblr, Pinterest or Instagram. I'm especially interested in numbers of tags over time and particular spikes in their popularity, and, if possible, how manh unique users are associated with them and other tags often used in conjunction. Also, is there any way you know of of being able to see how often things have been crossposted across different social media platforms (ibc flickr, twitter, facebook etc)? Ruth
Tumblr, Twitter and Facebook are part of the DiscoverText capability: http://www.discovertext.com/import.html We support Gnip's "Power Track" operators for four streams of data: http://www.discovertext.com/Gnip.html There is a 30-day free trial with access to Facebook, Twitter, WordPress, Tumblr, and Disqus: https://app.discovertext.com/Home/SignupContactTrial This is an example of how a sophisticated research group uses DT & Gnip: http://vimeo.com/55175059 Stu On Fri, Aug 30, 2013 at 6:49 AM, Deller, Ruth A <R.A.Deller@shu.ac.uk>wrote:

There is currently no way to track ALL tags on Tumblr unless you want to shell out money for full access to GNIP (and even then you have to specify terms and get the data moving from the current data forward; you have to pay extra for historical data). Via the API, you can get posts per tag, and if you have some programming experience, you could set up a cron job to continually run through the API to collect data over a long period of time. I'm not familiar with Pinterest or Instagram's APIs (I assume they operate similarly), but you might check out http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~sbakhshi/gilbert.chi13.pinterest.pdf to see how they collected data. As far as cross-network, there is no service (to my knowledge) that allows you to do this.

Hi all, To add to this convo, has anyone been able to grab the notes per post (reblogs, comments, likes) associated with a specific hashtag on Tumblr?

Yes. Gnip serves that data and you can experiment with collecting it via the DiscoverText 30-day free trial: https://app.discovertext.com/Home/SignupContactTrial We provide 1000 gratis 'credits' where each item and the associated metadata count together as one spent credit. You can run a 1000-item pilot test of the Gnip Tumblr stream, or spread your credits across the fire hose for Twitter, Disqus & WordPress. This is sample metadata from a Tumblr item using a Power Track operator to exclude reblogs, but if you don't include the rule, you get all the reblogs and you can use the "Sifter" engine to deduplicate and cluster around reblogging inside of DiscoverText. actor id: tag:gnip.tumblr.com:2012:blog/29604921 id: tag:gnip.tumblr.com:2012 :post/60837734713/update/9dc81eb1beb4540312e1b20d251b98b7ff0cdcf2d0442b176ca40c5739a49448 link: http://crash--test.tumblr.com/post/60837734713/ferrari-430-scuderia-by-lyon1... note count: 40 object type: photo-album posted time: 9/10/2013 2:41:22 PM rule match: -is:reblog flickr tag: 430 tag: cars tag: F430 tag: Ferrari tag: Scuderia target display name: crash--test target link: http://crash--test.tumblr.com/ target object type: blog tumblrreblogkey: 4VCo4kLi tumblrtype: photo url: http://www.flickr.com/photos/60710285@N05/9691950494/in/photostream/ Show top meta verb: update On Wed, Oct 16, 2013 at 8:02 AM, Jen Jack Gieseking <jgieseking@gmail.com>wrote:

The publishers (Tumblr or Twitter for example) face a serious challenge trying to monetize the data beyond just advertisements. The rate limits on public APIs are designed to allow folks to taste and test within the constraints of a black box. Authorized re-sellers like Gnip, Datasift, and DiscoverText offer the full fire hose and enhanced metadata. In the case of Twitter, the full history is available and you can use powerful filtering rules to pull very specific slices from moments or periods in Twitter history: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1c_I_BV7s2sTjb4P6FpLqtp5tojzy3I3aAS-PfngdVj8...

You can query the API, but you only get the latest 1000 notes (really a bummer...).

Thanks, Stuart.
And beyond GNIP / 30 days? Any other ideas? Thanks, all! JJG

Yes. Gnip serves that data and you can experiment with collecting it via the DiscoverText 30-day free trial:
https://app.discovertext.com/Home/SignupContactTrial
We provide 1000 gratis 'credits' where each item and the associated metadata count together as one spent credit. You can run a 1000-item pilot test of the Gnip Tumblr stream, or spread your credits across the fire hose for Twitter, Disqus & WordPress.
This is sample metadata from a Tumblr item using a Power Track operator to exclude reblogs, but if you don't include the rule, you get all the reblogs and you can use the "Sifter" engine to deduplicate and cluster around reblogging inside of DiscoverText.

Hi all,
To add to this convo, has anyone been able to grab the notes per post (reblogs, comments, likes) associated with a specific hashtag on Tumblr? I'm guessing not given the previous answer but one never knows.
Thanks, Jack

There is currently no way to track ALL tags on Tumblr unless you want to shell out money for full access to GNIP (and even then you have to specify terms and get the data moving from the current data forward; you have to pay extra for historical data). Via the API, you can get posts per tag, and if you have some programming experience, you could set up a cron job to continually run through the API to collect data over a long period of time.
I'm not familiar with Pinterest or Instagram's APIs (I assume they operate similarly), but you might check out http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~sbakhshi/gilbert.chi13.pinterest.pdf to see how they collected data.
As far as cross-network, there is no service (to my knowledge) that allows you to do this.

Tumblr, Twitter and Facebook are part of the DiscoverText capability: http://www.discovertext.com/import.html
We support Gnip's "Power Track" operators for four streams of data: http://www.discovertext.com/Gnip.html
