Monthly Samples of German Tweets (2023)
Description
Important: Due to data format changes in the Twitter Streaming API, recording will be discontinued in March 2023 until further notice, as the data provided can no longer be provided in the same format.
This dataset contains German tweets and Twitter accounts recorded from the public Twitter Streaming API using the following filters:
- terms: 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u', and 'n'
- language: 'de'
This filter combination should record a 1% sample of (almost) all German tweets (in German, it is very unlikely that terms do not contain vowels or the frequently used character 'n').
This dataset might be helpful for the following use cases:
- Natural language processing (focussing on Twitter specifics in German, there exist only little German datasets)
- Social Network Analysis (Twitter network)
- Identifying behavioural patterns (retweeting, quoting, replying, hate speech, ...)
- Sharing political (or other domain-specific) content
- Bot detection
- and more ...
This dataset will be updated monthly. Each sample (starting in January 2023) will follow the following naming pattern:
- german-tweet-sample-<YEAR>-<MONTH>.zip (size: ~ 1GB)
It will contain several bunches of recorded JSON gzipped files.
