In addition to the Insights that we provide, you can request a report of every post that has passed through your TINT. This can come in handy if you want to run additional analytics after you’ve completed a hashtag campaign, or if you’re trying to pick a contest winner. The report is sent as a CSV file and contains detailed information about each post (e.g. the post’s URL, title, date, author name).
