I want to work with social media datasets related to COVID-19. How can I extract large dataset from Facebook or twitter that contain posts related to COVID-19?
Hi as Mohamed highlighted in the answer above, you need to use either a social media monitoring tool like I have Crowd Analyzer or you use a scrapper. You might as well use https://tags.hawksey.info/ which will get you tweets that match a certain keyword from Twitter in an excel sheet. Extracting from Facebook is the most difficult part because of the API limitation even for scrappers. You might want to try BuzzSumo (Paid) and check if there is a way to export the results. You need to know that this will be only on Facebook pages and not the whole database of course but it is decent. You might check as well https://notify.ly/ which will get you from different sources including Twitter and they had FB in their premium account. You have to integrate this will Slack and I am sure there is a solution maybe Zappier or IFTTT can convert the slack messages to excel.
