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.
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-changes endpoint tracks this movement over weekly and monthly windows.
A high Sorsa Score signals that an account is genuinely recognized within the crypto ecosystem. A low score on an account claiming to be a major player is a red flag worth investigating.

​
Endpoints Overview

EndpointWhat it returns
GET /scoreThe current Sorsa Score for an account
GET /score-changesScore delta over the last week and month
GET /followers-statsFollower count broken down by category: influencers, projects, VCs
GET /top-followersTop 20 followers ranked by Sorsa Score
GET /top-followingTop 20 accounts the user follows, ranked by Score
GET /new-followers-7dCrypto accounts that followed the user in the last 7 days
GET /new-following-7dCrypto accounts the user started following in the last 7 days
All endpoints accept username, user_id, or user_link as input (one of the three required). All use the GET method.

​
Get the Sorsa Score

Endpoint: GET /v3/score 
curl "https://api.sorsa.io/v3/score?username=VitalikButerin" \
  -H "ApiKey: YOUR_API_KEY"

{"score": 1843.7}

import requests

API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"

def get_score(username):
    resp = requests.get(
        "https://api.sorsa.io/v3/score",
        headers={"ApiKey": API_KEY},
        params={"username": username},
    )
    resp.raise_for_status()
    return resp.json()["score"]

print(f"Vitalik's Sorsa Score: {get_score('VitalikButerin')}")
Note that the Score endpoint uses the link parameter instead of user_link (unlike most other endpoints):
ParameterTypeRequired
linkstringOne of these
usernamestring
user_idstring

​
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. 
def get_score_changes(username):
    resp = requests.get(
        "https://api.sorsa.io/v3/score-changes",
        headers={"ApiKey": API_KEY},
        params={"username": username},
    )
    resp.raise_for_status()
    return resp.json()

changes = get_score_changes("some_crypto_project")
print(f"Week delta:  {changes['week_delta']:+}")
print(f"Month delta: {changes['month_delta']:+}")
Response: 
{
  "week_delta": 12,
  "month_delta": 24
}
A positive 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). 
def get_follower_breakdown(username):
    resp = requests.get(
        "https://api.sorsa.io/v3/followers-stats",
        headers={"ApiKey": API_KEY},
        params={"username": username},
    )
    resp.raise_for_status()
    return resp.json()

stats = get_follower_breakdown("some_crypto_project")
print(f"Total followers (Sorsa DB): {stats['followers_count']}")
print(f"  Influencers: {stats['influencers_count']}")
print(f"  Projects:    {stats['projects_count']}")
print(f"  VCs:         {stats['venture_capitals_count']}")
Response: 
{
  "followers_count": 16,
  "influencers_count": 12,
  "projects_count": 3,
  "venture_capitals_count": 1,
  "user_protected": false
}
Note that 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. 
def get_top_followers(username):
    resp = requests.get(
        "https://api.sorsa.io/v3/top-followers",
        headers={"ApiKey": API_KEY},
        params={"username": username},
    )
    resp.raise_for_status()
    return resp.json().get("users", [])


def get_top_following(username):
    resp = requests.get(
        "https://api.sorsa.io/v3/top-following",
        headers={"ApiKey": API_KEY},
        params={"username": username},
    )
    resp.raise_for_status()
    return resp.json().get("users", [])


# Who are the biggest names following this project?
top = get_top_followers("some_crypto_project")
print("Top followers by Sorsa Score:")
for u in top[:10]:
    print(f"  @{u['username']} ({u['followers_count']:,} followers)")
    print(f"    {u.get('description', '')[:60]}")
Both endpoints return a FollowersResponse - an array of Follower objects that include all standard user profile fields plus followerDate (the date the follow relationship was established). Important: These endpoints return the top 20 results only. The full ranked list of followers/following by Score is a premium feature available on the Sorsa web app and is not accessible through the API.

​
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. 
def get_new_followers_7d(username):
    resp = requests.get(
        "https://api.sorsa.io/v3/new-followers-7d",
        headers={"ApiKey": API_KEY},
        params={"username": username},
    )
    resp.raise_for_status()
    return resp.json().get("users", [])


def get_new_following_7d(username):
    resp = requests.get(
        "https://api.sorsa.io/v3/new-following-7d",
        headers={"ApiKey": API_KEY},
        params={"username": username},
    )
    resp.raise_for_status()
    return resp.json().get("users", [])


new_followers = get_new_followers_7d("some_crypto_project")
print(f"New crypto followers this week: {len(new_followers)}")
for u in new_followers:
    print(f"  @{u['username']} followed on {u.get('followerDate', 'unknown')}")

​
Database Dependency

Both 7-day endpoints have important constraints to understand:
  1. 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.”
  2. 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.
This makes the data highly relevant for crypto analysis (you see exactly which known crypto players are making new connections) but it is not a substitute for the general /followers endpoint if you need the complete follower list including non-crypto accounts.

​
Practical Applications

​
Project Due Diligence

When evaluating a crypto project, combine several endpoints to build a trust profile: 
def due_diligence_report(username):
    """Quick due diligence check for a crypto project."""
    score = get_score(username)
    changes = get_score_changes(username)
    stats = get_follower_breakdown(username)
    top = get_top_followers(username)

    print(f"Due Diligence: @{username}")
    print(f"{'='*40}")
    print(f"Sorsa Score:   {score}")
    print(f"  Week change: {changes['week_delta']:+}")
    print(f"  Month change:{changes['month_delta']:+}")
    print()
    print(f"Crypto followers: {stats['followers_count']}")
    print(f"  Influencers: {stats['influencers_count']}")
    print(f"  Projects:    {stats['projects_count']}")
    print(f"  VCs:         {stats['venture_capitals_count']}")
    print()

    if top:
        print(f"Top followers by Score:")
        for u in top[:5]:
            print(f"  @{u['username']} ({u['followers_count']:,} followers)")
    else:
        print("No significant crypto followers found - investigate further.")

    # Red flags
    flags = []
    if score < 10:
        flags.append("Very low Score - minimal recognition in crypto")
    if stats["venture_capitals_count"] == 0 and stats["projects_count"] == 0:
        flags.append("No VC or project followers - claims of partnerships may be false")
    if changes["month_delta"] < -20:
        flags.append("Score dropping fast - influential followers are leaving")

    if flags:
        print(f"\nRed flags:")
        for f in flags:
            print(f"  - {f}")

    return score, stats, top


due_diligence_report("some_crypto_project")

​
Comparing Projects Side by Side

projects = ["project_a", "project_b", "project_c"]

print(f"{'Project':<20} {'Score':>7} {'Week':>6} {'Influencers':>12} {'Projects':>9} {'VCs':>5}")
print("-" * 65)

for handle in projects:
    score = get_score(handle)
    changes = get_score_changes(handle)
    stats = get_follower_breakdown(handle)

    print(f"@{handle:<19} {score:>7.1f} {changes['week_delta']:>+6} "
          f"{stats['influencers_count']:>12} {stats['projects_count']:>9} "
          f"{stats['venture_capitals_count']:>5}")

​
Tracking VC Activity

Monitor which projects a known VC account starts following - this can signal upcoming investments or partnerships: 
vc_accounts = ["a16z_crypto", "paradigm", "polychain"]

for vc in vc_accounts:
    new_follows = get_new_following_7d(vc)
    if new_follows:
        print(f"@{vc} started following {len(new_follows)} new crypto accounts this week:")
        for u in new_follows:
            print(f"  @{u['username']} (followed {u.get('followerDate', 'recently')})")
    else:
        print(f"@{vc}: no new crypto follows this week")
    print()

​
Early Project Discovery

Find projects that are gaining Score momentum - a rising Score means influential accounts are taking notice: 
watchlist = ["new_project_1", "new_project_2", "new_project_3", "new_project_4"]

rising = []
for handle in watchlist:
    try:
        score = get_score(handle)
        changes = get_score_changes(handle)
        if changes["week_delta"] > 5:
            rising.append({
                "handle": handle,
                "score": score,
                "week_delta": changes["week_delta"],
            })
    except Exception:
        continue

rising.sort(key=lambda x: x["week_delta"], reverse=True)

print("Rising projects (Score gained this week):")
for r in rising:
    print(f"  @{r['handle']}: Score {r['score']} ({r['week_delta']:+} this week)")

​

                })
            except Exception as e:
                print(f"Error for @{handle}: {e}")

            time.sleep(0.15)  # 3 API calls per account

    print(f"Exported {len(handles)} accounts to {output_file}")
