SMAT is now Open Measures! Read more about our rebrand here.

Open Source

Open Measures is an open source platform. That means that pieces of our platform will always be free and available for public use. Core to our mission is preserving the availability of our tooling to as many researchers as possible.

    Analysis Tools

    Timeline

    Track the frequency that a term is mentioned within a selected data source. Identify emerging trends and analyze point-in-time buildup of chatter.

    Search

    View content containing a configured search term. Flip between different sources on the same search term to gauge the discourse around a topic across the internet.

    Activity

    Create a visualization to understand which users are frequently using a unique term. Unlock a powerful method to identify key individuals that are trying to influence discourse or incite others to act. 

    Link Counter

    Generate a graph that counts links in content containing a chosen term or set of keywords. Contextualize the spread of information via shared URLs.

    Open Source API

    Open Measures has a public, free, and open-source API that allows researchers to work with the data programmatically, regardless of budget.

    We value accessibility. We offer free platform access to help researchers push back against online and offline harm. Though rate limited, the open-source API is a powerful tool to identify trending topics and posts.


    Open source API rate limitations:

    • Data begins at least 6 months in the past
    • 39 requests per day

    Pro & Enterprise Solutions

    Open Measures offers a lot for free. That said, many researchers may require access to real-time data, a higher volume of requests, or additional purpose-built dashboards. We have a wide range of feature sets and capabilities to meet these needs.
