Hello, This message is to let you know that CrowdTangle will no longer be available after August 14, 2024. Our data-sharing products are evolving alongside technology and regulatory changes. Phasing out CrowdTangle will allow us to focus resources on our new research tools, Meta Content Library and Content Library API, which provide useful, high-quality data to researchers. Data in CrowdTangle will continue to be updated in real time until August 14, 2024. However, please note that the platform will be in maintenance mode and platform support will be limited to bugs that impact a wide number of users. After August 14, 2024, you will no longer have access to CrowdTangle’s User Interface or API. We understand that this change may impact the work you are doing on the platform. You can reference our FAQs for more information on timelines, platform updates and our other tools. Thank you, The CrowdTangle team
RIP CrowdTangle
The tool used by newsrooms to monitor social media engagement, and disinformation researchers to monitor bad actors, will officially cease to exist in 5 months.
