Altmetric Details Page API - Full Access includes the 'fetch' call which provides more detailed information about the mentions. 

The ‘fetch’ calls allows users to see full details of the mentions, including the URLs to the mentions themselves. 

There are two exceptions with the “fetch” call, X  and certain news sources that fall under UK licensing restrictions. Unfortunately, due to licensing restrictions, we are not allowed to display the full body mentions of X posts and detailed information about individual posts or users — more information is available here.

Additionally, we are not permitted to surface information related to certain news sources. More information about why we can’t display some news mentions is available here.
