Following on here, the Institute for Representation in Society and Media <https://www.irsm.ai/> (a 501[c][3] nonprofit research organization) offers its members access to the Meltwater data analytics platform that includes unlimited Twitter/X data in the past ~18 months for academic research starting at about $1 per day.

Yes, if the date range is the last 12 months. We can get you up to 20,000 Tweets for a pilot test via DiscoverText.
Anyone with a valid academic email can book a free meeting for free training to get the free data sample:
https://calendly.com/discovertext
Just to reiterate, on the eve of a consequential election in the United States, we can get custom Twitter datasets and teach you how to parse them in about 30-45 minutes. There is no weeklong, or monthlong, or semester requirement to get to a meaningful finding or "ah hah" moment. To my knowledge, DiscoverText is the only free scientific platform that (i) embeds the Twitter display, (ii) enables crowdsource annotation, and (iii-vi) provides tools for measurement of annotator reliability, adjudication of disagreements, and production of gold standard training sets for an internal machine-learning capability. It does other cool stuff as well. If you need datasets larger than 20,000 items, there is a corresponding data access and hourly fee. You will learn things about the data in the first 5 minutes and they will not be in the form of a word cloud.
There is also now TrustDefender.net, which is DiscoverText with some upgrades specifically for teaching. One is, we have simplified the onboarding of entire classes for collaborative experiments. It's a few clicks and everyone gets a license and when they are registered and logged in they can collaborate immediately with any other class member of the professor via a "peer" network first launched as open source web-based software in 2007 at the University of Pittsburgh. As we roll through year seventeen providing access to tools, methods, and novel analytical theories to academics, I invite you to join the more than 1,000 scholars who have published as a result of using our software.
As I note in my first paper written since 2009: "Elon Musk likely prefers academics to move on. There is a popular but misleading notion now that only extremists, particularly right-wing fans of Tesla, Trump, Putin, Russia, and SpaceX, dominate the platform in North America. This is demonstrably false. A massive and diverse network of identity, hashtag, and political resistance communities is constantly organizing, sharing, strategizing, and taking political action to get out voters, raise awareness, and trend liberal, progressive, and pro-democracy themes on Twitter. Journalists also use Twitter as a real time content filter shaping their attention cycle when deciding what to cover. Academics use Twitter to network and promote their work. Any serious candidate for political office is on Twitter. Academic researchers must access, work with, and report on this data."

Hello everyone, I know that this question might not have an answer given the changes Twitter has gone through in the last year, but I thought it was worth a shot. Is there any online tool that could estimate the quantity of Tweets containing a keyword within a specific time frame? Regards, Xanat V. Meza
