Deen, Pulling data off is possible via DiscoverText with paid Professional or Enterprise accounts. Now we also have an API that you can use for pulling off everything (except Twitter data) including raw data, meta data, as well as human coding and machine classification scores. Under the Twitter ToS, you are permitted to "save as" .csv or XML to use teh raw data in other applications. Using the DiscoverText API, you can also get just the Twitter ID for individual tweets.

But it's so frustrating that I can't pull the data out and play with it myself! On the other hand I suppose we can't blame Twitter for trying to monetize their APIs; they're not a charity after all... ~DEEN On 4/5/2012 6:41 PM, Devin Gaffney wrote:

Hey folks,

My name's Devin Gaffney, and I'm currently over at Oxford Internet Institute doing my MSc. A while back, I was providing a service called [5]140kit.com, which was a site where a researcher could throw in a term, and tweets including that term would be automatically collected. At that point, you would be able to download the raw data or run our on-site analytics.

Well, that ended because of two things - one, we lost a bunch of steam when Twitter disallowed raw data outputs for third parties - analytics were still fine, however. Second, our previous hosting situation, which was provided to us for free, finally fell through, and we don't have money (its just me and another programmer) to pour into this thing.

Either way, we have spent the last year (wow) doing on-and-off re-workings on the system, and its feeling pretty solid, so we're opening it up. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know off list.
