There are three types of API within Tweet Binder's API
Reports API
Profiles API
User trackers API
Reports API
This API is in charge of generating the STATS on hashtags, etc by first collecting the tweets (posts or publications) and then generating the statistics from those. You will perform SEARCHES in the API to get the stats and you will always work against a monthly tweet balance, this means that your reports won't be able to overpass that balance of posts during the month. If your balance is 2,500,000 posts (publications) per month, you will be able to create reports until you consume that balance.
When you collect the info after a search, you will receive a REPORT.
Types of searches
7-day search: Stats from the last 7-days
Historical search: Stats from at any date in the past (until 2006)
Live search: Stats from now into the future
