Capture social mentions into analytics

[sspatra25]

can we capture mentions on social sites into adobe analytics using any api ? Any idea or thoughts will be helpful.

Not in the traditional way we collect data for Analytics. In a traditional implementation you would deploy code to the webpage to gather and send beacons containing the data you want to track. Obviously you wouldn't be able to deploy code to the social media platforms so you'd need to find a way to scrape the data then send it into Analytics via the API.

Do you have the api documentation for this ? i had trouble finding the latest documentation.

This is the latest: analytics-1.4-apis/index.md at master · AdobeDocs/analytics-1.4-apis · GitHub

The 2.0 API's don't yet support insertion, but there's a possibility that will change in the future.

2.0 API's are here: GitHub - AdobeDocs/analytics-2.0-apis: Documentation for the Adobe Analytics 2.0 APIs
