Gnip was a social media data aggregation company founded in 2008 in Boulder, Colorado by Eric Marcoullier and Jud Valeski. It became the first authorized reseller of the Twitter "firehose" and delivered enterprise-grade access to real-time and historical social data from Twitter, Tumblr, WordPress, Disqus, StockTwits and many other sources through products such as PowerTrack, Historical PowerTrack, the Search API, the Audience API and the Engagement API. Twitter acquired Gnip in April 2014 and folded its technology into Twitter's enterprise data platform; the Gnip brand and standalone APIs were retired and gnip.com now 301-redirects to the Twitter/X enterprise developer documentation. This profile is preserved for historical/network completeness — Gnip is no longer an independent provider.
