Twitter on Tuesday announced an API that will give business users instant and complete access to every historical public tweet. Based on tools developed by Gnip, which Twitter purchased last year, the API lets users search tweets back to March 2006, when the first one was posted. They can request counts of the number of activities that occurred matching their query for the time period they’re reviewing — even minute by minute. The tool could be valuable for monitoring product launches and analyzing marketing campaigns.
