Twitter Hashtag Analytics
Sorsa Hashtag Analytics counts how many posts any hashtag gets per hour on X (Twitter) and shows who drives it, with the top and latest posts. Free, no login.

How Many Posts Does a Hashtag Get?
X keeps no running total for a hashtag, and no public tool sees every post ever made with one. What you can measure is the pace: how many posts the tag gets an hour right now, counted from its latest posts.
How the hashtag counter works
- Read the latest postsThe report takes up to the 80 newest posts with the tag in the window you picked.
- Measure the time they coverFrom the oldest of them to the moment they were read. When the whole window fits in 80 posts, the count is complete.
- DividePosts divided by the hours they cover gives posts an hour. A tag slower than one an hour is counted per 24 hours instead.
80 posts ÷ 2.5 hours≈ 32 posts an hour
Why X shows no total
X shows a post count only next to some topics in its trending list, and nowhere for a tag you pick. A site that shows “1.2M tweets” for a hashtag is estimating, or quoting a number from somewhere else.
How to Track a Hashtag on X (Twitter)
Type the hashtag into Sorsa Hashtag Analytics at the top of this page. In a few seconds you get its posts per hour, the accounts driving it, its top and latest posts, languages and related hashtags.
- 1Enter what to trackA #hashtag, a $cashtag for a stock or a token, a keyword or an “exact phrase”. A link to a hashtag on x.com works too.
- 2Pick the windowThe last 24 hours or the last 7 days, in any language or in one.
- 3Read the reportThe count and its chart, top posts by views or likes, the latest posts, top voices, languages and related hashtags. Download the posts as CSV.
See a hashtag’s latest and top posts
The report’s Latest posts tab lists the newest posts with the tag, and Top posts the ones that drew the most views or likes, each with a link to open it on X.
Tracking on X itself
Search the tag and switch to Latest, save the search, or add the loudest accounts to a List. X shows the posts, but no count, no chart and no export. For a narrower search with filters such as language or minimum likes, the Twitter Advanced Search tool puts the filters together for you.
Following a tag for days
Run the same search on a schedule and keep what comes back. The API section below shows how, with the price of a tag like yours.
What the Hashtag Report Shows (and What It Doesn’t)
Every figure comes from real posts returned by X search: the latest ones for the count, the people and the latest posts, the most popular ones for the top posts. Each report says how much time its sample covers.
Measured from real posts
- Posts per hourThe pace over the time the sample covers, with a chart per minute, hour or day in UTC.
- Top voicesThe ten biggest accounts in the sample by followers, and how often each posted.
- Who is talkingHow many different accounts post with the tag, and the share of posts from verified accounts.
- What they postOriginal posts, replies, quotes and reposts; how many carry a photo or video; the languages.
- Related hashtagsThe tags used alongside it, by how many posts carry them. Each one opens its own report.
- Top and latest postsThe top five by views or likes, the ten newest, and the whole sample as CSV.
Not measured, and why
- An all-time totalX publishes none, and no public source sees every post.
- Reach from followersAdding up followers counts people who could have seen a post, not people who did. The report shows real views instead.
- SentimentA model’s guess, not a measurement. The posts are in the CSV for anyone who wants to label them.
- Impressions by sourcePrivate to each account in X’s own analytics.
Hashtag Analytics for Campaigns and Events
Campaigns
Check that a campaign tag is catching on: its pace, who picked it up and which posts carry it. Run it again tomorrow and compare the two.
Brands and cashtags
Follow a product name or a $cashtag through the day and see its loudest voices, and which of its posts travel furthest.
Events and fandoms
Watch an event tag hour by hour: the chart shows the peaks, the latest posts show what set them off. The Twitter Viral Tweet Finder shows the posts taking off on any topic.
Research
Save a sample with every column as CSV for a class or a report. For one account’s whole timeline, use Export Tweets to CSV.

}Questions About Hashtag Analytics
The report
How do I track a hashtag on Twitter for free?
Type it into Sorsa Hashtag Analytics at the top of this page. In seconds you get a report on its latest posts: posts per hour, the accounts driving it, top and latest posts, languages and related hashtags. There’s no sign-up and no X login.
How many tweets does a hashtag have?
X doesn’t publish a total for any hashtag, so no public tool can count every post ever made with one. What you can measure is the pace: how many posts it gets an hour right now. The report above counts it from the tag’s latest posts.
Can I see a hashtag’s latest and top posts?
Yes. The report’s Latest posts tab lists the newest posts with the tag, and Top posts the most viewed or most liked ones.
Can I track cashtags, keywords and mentions too?
Yes: a $cashtag for a stock or a token, any keyword or “exact phrase”, or a handle with the @ in front. To follow everything said to one account, use the Twitter Mentions Checker.
How far back does the report go?
The last 24 hours or the last 7 days, read from up to 80 of the latest posts and the 20 most popular. On a busy tag 80 posts may cover only minutes, and the report says exactly how long. Every post back to 2006 is a job for the API.
Does it show a hashtag’s reach or impressions?
It shows real views: on each top post and summed over the sample. It doesn’t add up followers and call it reach, because followers aren’t people who saw the posts.
Can I download the posts?
Yes. Download CSV saves every post of the sample with its author, time, type, language, views, likes, reposts, replies and link.
Counting and tracking
How fresh is the count?
Each report reads X when you run it and shows the time it read the posts. Run it again later to see whether the tag speeds up or slows down.
Can I compare two hashtags?
Run one, then the other, and compare their posts per hour and top voices. To follow several tags side by side for days, search them together through the API (#a OR #b) on a schedule.
Can I track a hashtag in real time?
The report reads X live each time you run it. For a tag you follow for days, poll the API every few minutes with since_id: and each new post arrives within minutes, 20 per request.
Can this help a hashtag trend?
No. It measures how a hashtag is used and never posts anything. X treats coordinated mass posting as platform manipulation and can restrict the accounts involved, so post naturally and use the count to watch it grow.
Is Sorsa Hashtag Analytics free?
Yes: free, with no sign-up and no X login. Sorsa API, the Twitter (X) API & scraper behind it, starts with 100 free requests when you want every post.
Track every post of your hashtags
Sorsa API returns every post with a hashtag or keyword back to 2006, 20 a request, on your schedule, ready for your sheet or your own dashboard.
No credit card, and they never expire. 6B+ requests served since 2022.
