    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;There are two main zip files in this dataset. Each zip file contains multiple &lt;a href="http://ndjson.org/"&gt;newline delimited JSON files&lt;/a&gt;. The JSON objects in each file contain all the key/value pairs returned from their respective Parler API endpoints.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE:&lt;/strong&gt; All identifying data has been redacted by removing the &amp;quot;name&amp;quot; field from posts, comments and user profiles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.03820"&gt;Current paper&lt;/a&gt; for more details and preferred citation information.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Parler Users (parler_user.zip)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Returned by the &lt;em&gt;/v1/profile&lt;/em&gt; endpoint. Each line consists of an individual user profile object.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Parler Posts and Comments (parlerpostcomments.zip)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Returned by the &lt;em&gt;/v1/post[comment] &lt;/em&gt;endpoints. Each line consists of an individual post or comment object.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to extract the data:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The data provided is compressed in zip format. See the instructions below on how to extract it:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Linux and Mac&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Navigate to the file in a terminal window or file browser.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Run the following command (or typically you can double click if you are in a file browser):&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;User profiles:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;unzip parler_users.zip&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Posts and comments:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;unzip parler_data.zip&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The unzipped version contains multiple files for each data type.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Windows&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Microsoft provides instructions on to extract a zip file. The authors cannot recommend a particular method or software.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
