Description

‍Meltwater is the leading media monitoring & social analytics platform dedicated to helping businesses monitor, understand, and influence the world around them.

The schema information shows all report types you can use to extract data from Meltwater.

Follow our setup guide to connect Meltwater to Improvado.

‍Step 1. Click the Data Sources in the left navigation bar.
Categories on the Data sources page group all available platforms. Use a search to find the required one.

‍Step 2. Click on the Meltwater tile.

Step 3. To authorize your account you need to fill in the required fields below following steps 3.1 - 3.5:

• ‍API Key
• Timezone

Important:

• You need to raise a Service Desk ticket and provide us with a list of search ids, which we will add manually to each order. Otherwise, the data source connection won’t work.
• Be careful with the amount of data requested because reports spend a lot of API units: 1 unit per 1 search id in 1 report per 1 week for 1 source.

Note: It is better to use the Joda time zone (Canonical ID).

‍Step 3.1. Go to Account > Meltwater API in the application's left-hand navigation.

‍Step 3.2. Click Generate API token.

‍Step 3.3. Enter a name for the token and click OK.

‍Step 3.4. Once the token is generated, copy it.

‍Step 3.5. Enter copied values into the Improvado authorization form.

Also, you can find the additional information here API Credentials - Meltwater Developer Portal.

Step 4. After the connection process is completed successfully, Meltwater connection will appear in your Connected sources list.

‍Step 5. When the connection status is Active, and the account status column shows a number of accounts, you can move on to data extraction.

Step 6. To extract data from the connected sources, check the instruction on how to set up data extraction.
