Sorsa Score and Crypto Social Graph Analytics
Sorsa maintains an internal database of crypto-related X accounts - projects, influencers, KOLs, venture capital firms, and their employees. The endpoints in this section tap into that database to provide analytics that go beyond standard X profile data: an influence score that measures an account’s standing within the crypto ecosystem, follower categorization by type (influencer, project, VC), and tracking of recent follow activity among crypto accounts. These endpoints are specifically designed for crypto due diligence, influencer vetting, project discovery, and community analysis. If you are evaluating whether a crypto project is legitimate, assessing an influencer’s real weight in the space, or tracking which VCs are paying attention to emerging projects, this is the data layer you need.Free to start: Every endpoint here works on your first 100 requests: one-time, no credit card, no expiry. A full due-diligence pass is about four calls per account (Score, Score change, follower breakdown, top followers), so 100 requests covers roughly 25 accounts before you need a plan.
Note: The Sorsa Score and related analytics are also available through the Sorsa web app with a visual interface. The API endpoints documented here provide programmatic access to the same underlying data for integration into your own tools and workflows.
What is the Sorsa Score?
The Sorsa Score is a numeric metric that reflects how many influential crypto accounts follow a given account, and how influential those followers are. It is not based on total follower count, content quality, profile appearance, or verification status. It is based purely on the crypto social graph: who follows you, and how much weight they carry. Key characteristics:- Quality matters more than quantity. A few followers with a Score of 1000+ contribute more than dozens of followers with a Score of 200. The score rewards genuine recognition from established figures, not mass-following.
- Follow-for-follow and mass-following accounts are excluded. Sorsa detects and filters out accounts that artificially inflate their follower lists. These accounts do not contribute to Score calculations.
- Content, profile design, and blue checkmarks do not directly affect the Score. However, high-quality content tends to attract influential followers over time, so there is often a correlation.
- The Score is dynamic. It changes as influential accounts follow or unfollow. The
/score-changesendpoint tracks this movement over weekly and monthly windows.
Endpoints Overview
All endpoints accept
username, user_id, or user_link as input (exactly one of the three required). All use the GET method.
Get the Sorsa Score
Endpoint:GET /v3/score
/score accepts username, user_id, or user_link (provide exactly one). Higher scores indicate stronger recognition among crypto influencers, projects, and VCs. Accounts with very large follower bases may take slightly longer to return on the first request.
Track Score Changes Over Time
Endpoint:GET /v3/score-changes
Returns how much the Score has changed in the last week and month. Useful for detecting momentum - an account gaining Score rapidly may be an emerging project worth watching; an account losing Score may be falling out of favor.
week_delta means the account gained Score in the past 7 days (more influential accounts followed them). A negative delta means influential followers unfollowed or lost their own Score.
Requirement: The account must already be tracked in the Sorsa database. New or previously untracked accounts will not have historical Score data.
Follower Breakdown by Category
Endpoint:GET /v3/followers-stats
Breaks down an account’s followers into three categories from Sorsa’s database: influencers (individual crypto KOLs), projects (crypto project accounts), and venture capitals (VCs and their employees).
followers_count here refers to the number of followers from Sorsa’s crypto database, not the account’s total X follower count. An account with 50,000 X followers might have 200 crypto-relevant followers tracked by Sorsa.
This breakdown is particularly useful for due diligence: a project claiming to be VC-backed should have VC accounts in their follower stats. A project with zero VC followers and zero project followers despite claiming partnerships is a warning sign.
Top 20 Followers and Following by Score
Endpoint:GET /v3/top-followers
Returns the 20 followers with the highest Sorsa Score. This tells you which of the most influential crypto accounts are watching this profile.
Endpoint: GET /v3/top-following
Returns the 20 accounts the user follows that have the highest Score. This reveals whose content and activity the account considers worth tracking.
/top-followersreturns aTopFollowersResponse: an array of compact follower profiles, each carrying ascorefield (that follower’s own Sorsa Score) so you can gauge how influential each one is. These profiles are compact and omit some fields present on a full profile, such aslocationandbio_urls./top-followingreturns aFollowersResponse:Followerobjects with the standard profile fields plusfollowerDate(when the follow relationship was established). Note there is noscorefield on this response.
/info-batch.
New Followers and Following (Last 7 Days)
Endpoint:GET /v3/new-followers-7d
Returns crypto accounts from Sorsa’s database that started following the specified user in the last 7 days.
Endpoint: GET /v3/new-following-7d
Returns crypto accounts from Sorsa’s database that the specified user started following in the last 7 days.
FollowersResponse (Follower objects with a followerDate).
Database Dependency
Both 7-day endpoints have important constraints to understand:- The target account must already be in Sorsa’s database. If you query an account Sorsa has not been tracking, there is no historical data to compare against, so the endpoint cannot determine what is “new.”
- Only follows involving accounts in Sorsa’s database are shown. If a random non-crypto X account follows the target, it will not appear in these results. These endpoints track movement within the crypto social graph specifically - crypto accounts following other crypto accounts.
/followers endpoint if you need the complete follower list including non-crypto accounts. See Followers & Following for the general-purpose approach.
Practical Applications
Project Due Diligence
When evaluating a crypto project, combine several endpoints to build a trust profile:Comparing Projects Side by Side
Tracking VC Activity
Monitor which projects a known VC account starts following - this can signal upcoming investments or partnerships:Early Project Discovery
Find projects that are gaining Score momentum - a rising Score means influential accounts are taking notice:Exporting to CSV
Next Steps

- Followers & Following - extract the full follower list (not just crypto-tracked accounts).
- Target Audience Discovery - find crypto audiences via community scraping and bio search.
- Marketing Campaign Verification - verify engagement actions for crypto marketing campaigns.
