Hello Sandrine, For my working paper, we needed to harvest data. The computer scientist co-author wrote a script. Due to the excessive cost of buying tweets, we refrained from going that route. One excellent researcher in this field would be Kate Starbird and her team at UW. They could offer excellent advice. Good luck! Amy On Thu 10.

Dear Sandrine,
I've never done this, but I can't really imagine a moment when it would be necessary. I would save your money and design a more accessible study.
I tell my students to never pay for anything related to research, and I would give the same advice to colleagues.
Others who have more experience may have more direct testimonies.
Hope this helps, Peter

Hello everybody,
Help needed. Does anyone have experience with buying tweets from Twitter for research? We have a fairly specific query and would like to know which information is given about the tweets harvested through the query (e.g. is language or geographic information given for tweets, even if it isn't part of the query - so not a selection criterion)?
Many thanks.
Best wishes, Sandrine
