Sprout API

Sprout API Overview

The Sprout API provides an externally accessible API for you to access your owned social profile data so you can use that data to power dashboards and automate your reporting.

Available Data Overview

✅  The Sprout API includes:

  • ✅  Owned Profile Data - This matches the data available in Sprout’s Profile Performance, Twitter Profiles, Facebook Pages, Instagram Business Profiles, LinkedIn Pages, Pinterest Profiles, TikTok Profiles and YouTube Videos Report.
  • ✅  Post Data - This matches the data available in Sprout’s Post Performance Report.
  • ✅  Message Data - Get detailed information, including metadata, about your messages. This includes messages received by and replied to from your profiles.
  • ✅  Direct Tableau Connector - Easily analyze Sprout API data directly in Tableau. For more details reference the Tableau Connector section of this doc.

For specific data and metrics, reference the Metrics & Fields sections of this doc.

🚫  The Sprout API does not currently include:

  • 🚫  Paid (Ad Account) data
  • 🚫  Listening data
  • 🚫  Publishing data or capabilities
  • 🚫  Owned demographic data

Access Requirements & Authentication

Before accessing the API, your account must be provisioned for API use by your Sprout account representative. Once the account is provisioned, you must obtain an access token. To do so, follow the steps in the Creating an access token as an Account Owner section. The Account Owner can create new access tokens via the dialog, view existing access tokens or invalidate existing tokens (i.e. prevent the tokens from being used for client requests).

Terminology

  • Post: A post refers to a message that was published by an owned profile.
  • Message: A message refers to any message that was published by or received by an owned profile. All posts are messages, but not all messages are posts.
  • Profile: A profile refers to an account, page, handle, etc. on a native social network, like Twitter or Instagram.

Creating an access token as an Account Owner

  1. Log in to Sprout and navigate to Settings.
  2. Scroll down to the reporting section and click API Tokens.

  1. Accept Sprout’s Analytics API Terms of Service, if you haven’t already.
  2. Click Create API Token in the upper left corner.

  1. Enter a name for your token.

  1. Copy the token for use. Be sure to store this securely.

Twitter Data: Twitter Content End User License Agreement

Note: Twitter has additional review and compliance requirements around exposing data through the API. You’re required to undergo a brief Twitter review and approval process before you can access Twitter's data through the Sprout API.

Contact your Sprout Social account representative to initiate the review process with Twitter. After Twitter approves your use case, the Account Owner needs to accept the Analytics API Twitter Content End User License Agreement. This appears at the top of the API Tokens settings page.

Endpoints Overview

Sprout API endpoints are grouped into three collections:

  1. Customer Metadata Endpoints - Use these endpoints to obtain high-level information about your Sprout customer account and profiles you have access to; many of these endpoints provide data needed to make requests to other Sprout API endpoints.
  2. Analytics Endpoints - These endpoints provide information about your Sprout profiles and posts.
  3. Messages Endpoint - This endpoint provides detailed data and metadata about your Sprout messages.
Customer Metadata Endpoints Description
GET /v1/metadata/client Customer ID
GET /v1/<customer ID>/metadata/customer Customer Profiles
GET /v1/<customer ID>/metadata/customer/tags Customer Tags
GET /v1/<customer ID>/metadata/customer/groups Customer Groups
GET /v1/<customer ID>/metadata/customer/users Customer Users
Analytics Endpoints Description
POST /v1/<customer ID>/analytics/profiles Owned Profile Analytics
POST /v1/<customer ID>/analytics/posts Post Analytics
Messages Endpoint Description
POST /v1/<customer ID>/messages Inbox Messages

General API Structure

All endpoints use the following naming structure:

/<version>/<customer ID>/<endpoint path>

Where:

  • version is the API major version number
  • customer ID is your Sprout customer ID

Versioning

The Sprout API is versioned using a MAJOR.MINOR version format.

You can specify only the major number in requests, but the full version is included in responses.

A major version represents a breaking change to the API, including updates to the syntax and semantics for making requests of the APIs and the syntax and semantics of the response of the API.

A minor version represents a backwards compatible change to the API, such as adding new metrics, new endpoints, metric updates, etc. Minor versions are reflected in documentation, but not the API URL itself. Due to the backwards compatibility of minor versions, you only need to specify the major version in the URL path.

Rate Limits

You’re limited to the following number of requests:

  • 60 requests per minute
  • 250,000 requests per month

Endpoints

Requests

All requests have the following format:

Request Headers

Analytics Endpoints

Analytics endpoints are all HTTP POST endpoints. They provide access to your owned profile and post analytics data, including:

  • Profile Analytics - profile activity broken down by day
  • Post Analytics - message content, metadata and lifetime activity metrics

Overview

All requests to and responses from Analytics API endpoints have a similar structure.

Requests - Analytics Endpoints

The request body for an analytics API request is a JSON object with the following name/values pairs:

Key Description Example Value
filters Detailed filters used to filter the results by customer_profile_id, reporting_period (for profile metrics) and message created_time (for posts endpoint) Profile Endpoint: ["customer_profile_id.eq(1234, 5678)", "reporting_period.in(2018-01-01...2018-02-01)"]

Posts Endpoint: ["customer_profile_id.eq(1234, 5678)", "created_time.in(2018-01-01...2018-02-01)"]
metrics List of metrics to return in results; refer to the metrics section for post and profile metrics available for each social network type ["impressions", "likes"]
page
(optional)
In paginated results, which 1-indexed page to return in the response.
Pagination is based on default limits of 1000 results for the Profiles endpoint and 50 results for the Posts endpoint
3
limit
(optional)
Specifies the max number of results per page in the response.
Defaults to 1000 results for the Profiles endpoint and 50 results for the Posts endpoint.
100
sort
(optional)
(Posts endpoint only)

["created_time:asc"]
timezone
(optional)
(Posts endpoint only)
Time zone—from the ICANN time zone database. Timezone arguments only impact date/time-related filters, responses are not impacted and are always in UTC for posts.
"America/Chicago"
fields
(optional)
(Posts endpoint only)
List of fields to return in results; if omitted, only the guid field is returned. Refer to the Message Fields section for full list of valid fields
["content_category", "created_time", "from.name"]

Responses - Analytics Endpoints

Responses follow the standard data API response format:

data

This array contains the analytics data requested. See specific endpoints for additional details.

paging

This object specifies the state of paging for this response:

Key Description Example Value
current_page 1-indexed page number of the response 3
total_pages Total number of pages for the request 20

A paging object is always returned, including when the response contains all data in one page. You can rely on checking for current_page = total_pages in order to know when you are at the end of the paging sequence.

Requesting a page greater than total_pages will return a HTTP 400 Bad Request response with a message describing the error.

Limitations

Note the maximum response size is capped at 10,000 results. For example, if a request with 50 responses per page is made, you will get at most 200 total_pages back. Anything beyond this 10,000 limit will be truncated as a performance guardrail.

To request data for responses with more than 10,000 results, use a cursor-based pagination approach following these steps:

1.) Prepare the API URL for the specific endpoint you want to retrieve data from.

2.) Define the request body by specifying the necessary parameters like limit, timezone, filters, fields, and metrics criteria.

3.) Set the appropriate headers, including any required authentication or session information.

4.) Set the "sort" field to organize the response data by "guid" in ascending order

5.) Send an initial request to the API endpoint to retrieve a batch of data, specifying a limit on the number of items to be returned per request (e.g., 100 items per request).

6.) Process the sorted response data and extract the last "guid" value from the response. This "guid" will be used as the cursor for the next request.

7.) Send a subsequent request to the API endpoint. We’ll filter for posts with a guid greater than the guid we saw in the previous step to fetch the next batch of data. This request should also specify the limit and any other necessary parameters. See below for an example request to see how this is done.

8.) Repeat steps 2-7 until there are no more GUID's left in the response. Each time you receive a response, extract the last "guid" value, and use it to filter posts with greater guids for the following requests.

9.) As you receive the paginated responses, you can store or process the data as needed.

Initial Request:

{                                                                            
    "filters": [
        "customer_profile_id.eq(123, 4567, 890)"
    ],
    "fields": [
        "guid"
    ],
    "sort": [
        "guid:asc"
    ],
    "limit": 2 
}

Initial Response:

{
    "data": [
        {
            "guid": "101"
        }, 
        {
            "guid": "102"
        }
    ]
}

Subsequent Request:

{                                                                           
    "filters": [
        "guid.gt(102)",                                       
        "customer_profile_id.eq(123, 4567, 890)"
    ],
    "fields": [
        "guid"
    ],
    "sort": [
        "guid:asc"
    ],
    "limit": 2 
}

Note that the last guid from the initial response (102) was used as a filter for the subsequent response ( "guid.gt(102)"). Each request thereafter should continue to filter on the last guid from the previous response until no more guids are returned.

Responses - Messages Endpoint

Responses follow the standard Sprout API response format:

data

This array contains the message's data requested in JSON format.

paging (optional)

This object, if present, indicates there are still more pages of data to be fetched, and provides a cursor pointing to the next page of data:

Key Description Example Value
next_cursor String of alphanumeric characters representing the next page of data, sorted by message created_time "abcd1234=="

Messages Request Limits & Pagination

  • Pagination of response is based on the following request params:

    • limit - number of messages returned per response (max: 100, default: 50)
    • sort - sort order of messages in response; sorted by message created_time (default: desc)
  • To paginate results: continuously fetch the "next" page of data, by updating the page_cursor parameter, until a response without a paging object is returned

  • Note: Unlike some other Sprout API Endpoints, index-based paging (e.g. page: 4) is not supported by the Messages Endpoint. While you can specify the sort direction, you can only ever get the "next" page of data — you can't fetch the "previous" page

  • A Request containing an invalid page_cursor will return a HTTP 400 Bad Request response with a message describing the error

Response Data - Messages Endpoint

Example response:

{
  "data": [
    {
      "post_category": "POST",
