FAQ

Data Integrity / Authenticity

Do you open-source your entire platform?

For the security and sustainability of our platform, we do not open-source each product but we do open-source as much as possible. All open-source code is available via our GitLab project.

How do you choose what to open-source?

We lean on our community of researchers and developers to provide insight into which of our tools are most useful and then determine collectively which can most sustainably be offered at no cost to the user. Please reach out if you want to be a part of the conversation.

Data Access

Do you make any endpoints available publicly?

Yes! We have several public endpoints available for querying our data store, including the /content endpoint which returns raw data. It is worth noting that our public endpoints are rate limited at 39 requests per day. You can read more about our public endpoints in the API section of our documentation.

I need higher frequency than the public endpoints or API tooling allows. What are my options?

We support a few options for organizations in need of high volume and recent data. If you are interested in learning more about how your team can get more robust tooling, fill out the following form.

Partnerships

How long does it take to implement Open Measures?

Most partners take anywhere from a few days to a month to fully implement depending on the complexity of their needs and in-house setup. Our team is there every step of the way. We begin each partnership with onboarding sessions and offer ongoing support to ensure you have the resources you need for success.

Who do you partner with?

We partner with a range of organizations and individuals that are trying to better understand, and respond to, the spread of information on social media. Those organizations include leading civil society orgs, corporate communications teams, press desks, and universities.

What if I don't work for an organization that would be a good fit but I still want to contribute to your open-source efforts?

We're proud partners with Open Source Collective, our fiscal host. Contributions from the community make our dedicated work in the open-source ecosystem possible. You can make a one-time or recurring contribution here.
