Hi,

Watching the Premium search APIs documentation, I wanted to make some tests retrieving counts using full-archive endpoint but I get this response :
{"error":{"message":"Unauthorized: Stream is not enabled for count requests","sent":"2020-01-22T20:48:18+00:00","transactionId":"002438ff00d0735c"}}
Here is my request :
Request{method=POST, url=https://api.twitter.com/1.1/tweets/search/fullarchive/dev/counts.json, tags={}}
If I make exactly the same request to have all the results instead of the count, it works fine.

Any idea about what is missing ?

Thanks !

Hi! Thanks for the question. The counts functionality is only available if you are on a paid premium plan - unfortunately, this endpoint does not work in the sandbox.

What a pity :sob: … So I understand that I have no other choice than to do the job manually counting the results I had on my side haha.
Thanks Andy !

I just watch the premium plans and the less expensive one is 99$/month :disappointed:
Don’t we have any other solution as a personal user to access the search API without these limitations?
Thanks !

At present, there’s no way to access a counts endpoint at zero cost. These are only available to the paid premium plans for 30-day and full archive search. Bear in mind that the monthly subscription could be cancelled at any time, which may be useful if you have only a single project, but yes, there is a cost. Appreciate that this is disappointing to you, but this is the way that the API features are structured.

It’s just a pity to be only business oriented on these endpoints but I can fully understand it regarding the incomes you need to follow your activity…
I will post something else today to have maybe other ideas of ways to do what I need with free endpoints :slight_smile:
See you !
