I have a private business Twitter account and I would like to know when someone clicks any link inside one of my posts. This solution cannot assume that we know the form of the link being posted.

For example a twitter post like this:

Have you guys heard of this amazing site called google?

I would like to see how many people clicked on this google.com link. I don't need to know any specific information about who they are, just if it was clicked or not.

Ideally I would want this from the API but crawlers and plugins are also possible. I would like to avoid using a paid tool but those would be acceptable.

I think you have multiple choices:

  1. Use google firebase or google analytics
  2. Create your own short link services by python or any other programming languages.
  3. Just search in the google and look for short link generators which gives appropriate service.

  • Thank you for the response. The solution must be able to track link clicks from any link in any form. Sadly, I cannot ensure that these links are in short form due to not knowing what our clients will post. – Ian Steffy May 23 '22 at 07:14

Hi using the twitter api you should be able to understand how many clicks a link has.

But to have all this info automated you might need to use a third-party tool. This should be the most straight forward solution.
