I am a new user to MeltWater trying to understand the data coverage. I found the link below that indicates that most of the sources go back 15 months. Can someone confirm if that is the “farthest” back I can go for sources such as reddit, X, Reviews in particular? Is there a workaround or special handling in case I need data going back farther than 15 months?

Hi
Explore is limited to 15 months of data, in saying this. We are launching a new product next month called Explore+, and you will be able to get a lot more historical data with it.

Yes, I current platform provides historical data going back to 27 months. This helps us make sure there are no seasonal elements we need to account for when analyzing the trends and how they have progressed historically. 15 months does give us some cover but 24 to 27 months (two cycles) would eliminate any issues.

All data we would normally capture for 15 months. If that is not possible, we would be most interested in the actual “posts” + the Title, Source, Date/Time, Unique ID of the post and perhaps some limited metadata items.
