Collecting and Analysing Twitter Data

This repository holds the materials for a workshop on working with Twitter data in R. This workshop was originally prepared for the COMPTEXT Conference 2022, University College Dublin.

Below are the workshop materials kept in this repository.

Data

Twitter's Developer terms allow for up to 1,500,000 Tweet IDs or 50,000 public Tweets to be deposited online. Hence the materials (compare status_ids.rds and tweets.rds below) fallow these terms.

    • Includes the most recent 200 Tweets shared by Irish politicians listed in the Politicians Ireland Twitter list
