Legacy alias of get_smart_follows (Smart Follows / former Alpha ranking)

Deprecated. This route is kept for existing clients; new integrations should use the replacement named in the description.

GET https://twitterscore.io/api/v1/get_alpha

Identical to /api/v1/get_smart_follows: same parameters, same response. The web page was renamed from "Alpha" to "Smart Follows"; this path is kept working so existing integrations do not break, but new integrations should call /api/v1/get_smart_follows. The two paths are separate wrappers over one implementation so usage analytics can track the migration; they have separate per-minute rate-limit buckets (api-get-alpha vs api-get-smart-follows) and separate server-side response caches. See get_smart_follows for the full field reference. Nested fields

data[] (array): Same item shape as /api/v1/get_smart_follows — see that endpoint.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
`days`	integer (`1`, `7`, `30`)	no	`7`	Period window in days: 1, 7 or 30. Any other integer returns {"success": false, "message": "Days param is only available: 1\|7\|30"}; a non-numeric value falls back to 7.
`by`	string (`alpha`, `score`, `followers`)	no	`alpha`	Ranking column: `alpha` = change in new smart followers versus the previous period (new_diff), `score` = current Twitter Score, `followers` = current follower count. Case-sensitive; any other value returns {"success": false, "message": "Sorting is only possible by [score\|followers\|alpha]"}.
`sort`	string (`desc`, `asc`, `descending`, `ascending`)	no	`desc`	Sort direction: `asc` or `ascending` (case-insensitive) for ascending, anything else for descending.
`bucket`	string (`all`, `vc`, `inf`, `angels`)	no	`all`	Which set of smart followers to count: `all`, `vc` (venture capitals), `inf` (influencers) or `angels`. Case-insensitive; unknown values silently fall back to `all`.
`page`	integer	no	`1`	1-based page number; non-numeric, 0 or negative values are treated as 1.
`size`	integer	no	`10`	Rows per page, capped at 100; values below 1 are treated as 1, non-numeric falls back to 10.
