The cost of the Twitter API has risen dramatically and tools such as SNScraper may violate Twitter's terms of service.
Twitter API
Twitter provides a robust Application Programming Interface (API) that allows developers to access and interact with Twitter data. Researchers can use the Twitter API to access tweets, followers, and other Twitter data for research purposes. To access Twitter data using the API, researchers will need to create a developer account, obtain access tokens, and authenticate their requests to the API. Researchers can use programming languages like Python or R to interact with the Twitter API and retrieve data.
Twitter Archiving Google Sheet (TAGS)
Twitter Archiving Google Sheet (TAGS) is a free and user-friendly tool that allows researchers to collect and store Twitter data for analysis. TAGS uses the Twitter API to retrieve tweets, hashtags, and user mentions, and stores them in a Google Sheet for analysis. TAGS can also be configured to collect data from specific Twitter accounts, hashtags, or keywords. Researchers can use TAGS to collect and analyze Twitter data without writing any code.
Gnip
Gnip is a Twitter data reseller that provides access to historical and real-time Twitter data. Researchers can use Gnip to access a wide range of Twitter data, including tweets, followers, and engagement metrics. However, Gnip is a paid service, and researchers will need to purchase a subscription to access Gnip's data. Gnip's pricing is based on the volume of data and the type of data requested.
Academic research programs
Twitter offers academic research programs that provide free access to Twitter data for research purposes. These programs are designed to support academic research and provide access to large volumes of Twitter data. To participate in the academic research programs, researchers will need to submit a proposal outlining their research objectives and data requirements.
Twitter data archives
There are several Twitter data archives that provide access to large volumes of Twitter data for research purposes. These archives include the Library of Congress Twitter Archive, the Internet Archive's Twitter Archive, and the UK Web Archive. Researchers can access these archives and retrieve Twitter data for analysis.
Hello Vishal Kumar Jaiswal.
We have finally managed to access Twitter data using a developer account/API.
Your insights and recommendations have greatly improved our understanding of how to effectively collect Twitter data. The explanations have been helpful to us.
Thank you so much.
