Overview

Our Social Mentions feature currently only shows results from Twitter. It is so because FB, Twitter and other social platforms protect their data - no or very limited search by hashtag.
I looked into using Google search and found out that if you use the advanced search, we can compile a search that returns results from all major platforms. But we dropped the investigation as the price of Google Search API usage seemed a bit high at the time.

TODO

  • Revive the reseach, see if we could get adequate results from Google/Bing search API searching by hashtag and maybe Topic title. Search result should cover Twitter and Facebook. Instagram is a bonus.
  • Record the research outcome here - what was tried, what worked, what did not work etc.
  • IF we find a way, implement it.
