About
The web needs cooperative, transparent tools to contextualize the spread of online information that impacts public discourse and activity.
Open Measures is built to help journalists, researchers, and social enterprises investigate online trends from health tips and climate data to targeted harassment campaigns and information operations. In turn, our users are empowered to make data requests and contribute to our open-source repository to help guide our tooling.
We are opposed to the threats presented by coordinated online users, malicious state actors, and conspiracies aimed at causing mass harm. We want to help our users respond to the next generation of threats by providing an open and accessible way to conduct threat intelligence.
We have received support from organizations including Google Jigsaw, Mozilla Foundation, and Start.coop.
We are proud to partner with our friends at Distributed Denial of Secrets and Open Collective.

“The Open Measures platform has been by far the easiest to use and most customisable system I’ve ever used for Telegram. It’s extremely fast, easy to add channels with back-crawling, and allows you to filter by any data obtainable from the API. Just as importantly, it’s completely transparent in how it works with no black-box processing or pseudo-AI.”
– Pierre Vaux, Investigator at Centre for Information Resilience
“…their purpose-built platform and set of APIs provide for a comprehensive solution to effectively identifying and addressing disinformation on social networks. Open Measures enables our team to quickly detect false or misleading narratives & extremist content. I’ve tried a number of tools in my career; without Open Measures, harmful online activity would be significantly harder to locate.”
– Tim Chambers, Principal at Dewey Square Group
“In my work, staying ahead of threats is critical. Open Measures enabled our team to do exactly that, providing real-time alerts and actionable insights sourced across dozens of social media. Their integrated monitoring capabilities ensure we don’t miss early warning signs of emerging risks and the intuitive dashboards let us tailor alerts, so we focus on what matters most.”
– Chief Information Security Officer responsible for monitoring voter intimidation and election communications
“I have used Open Measures at multiple organizations over the past few years, and they have consistently been a game-changer. Crucially, their custom user interfaces have allowed me to quickly contextualize the intersection of online and offline threats.
Other platforms I’ve tried are either retrofitted marketing tools or tediously manual to use. Open Measures is a no-brainer.”
– Nina Jankowicz, CEO American Sunlight Project
