Does anybody know how they got this data?
Does twitter's API offer the ability to see all incoming tweets? Glancing at their API documentation seems to suggest that they turned this ability off a while ago.
- japherwocky 16y agoYou can get a pretty big, random chunk of the public timeline with statuses/firehose or statuses/sample http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods
- catshirt 16y agoI interviewed who did semantic tweets research at [some university] and said they were given an insane sample from the past x years just by making a written request to Twitter.
- Caged 16y agoHere is the original paper - http://arxiv.org/pdf/1010.3003v1 http://arxiv.org/pdf/1010.3003v1. The paper claims their code and data is open, but the link is broken and I was unable to find it by browsing their site...which seems to consist of mostly blank pages.
