Climate Change Tweets Ids

<p>This dataset contains the tweet ids of 39,622,026 tweets related to climate change. They were collected between September 21, 2017 and May 17, 2019 from the Twitter API using <a href="https://gwu-libraries.github.io/sfm-ui/">Social Feed Manager</a>. There is a gap in data collection between January 7, 2019 and April 17, 2019. </p>

<p>Tweets were collected using the POST statuses/filter method of the Twitter Stream API, using the track parameter with the following keywords: #climatechange, #climatechangeisreal, #actonclimate, #globalwarming, #climatechangehoax, #climatedeniers, #climatechangeisfalse, #globalwarminghoax, #climatechangenotreal, climate change, global warming, climate hoax</p>

<p>Because of the size of the collection, the list of identifiers is split into files of 10 million lines each, with a tweet identifier on each line. There is a README.txt file containing additional documentation on how the tweets were collected. </p>

<p>The GET statuses/lookup method supports retrieving the complete tweet for a tweet id (known as hydrating). Tools such as <a href="https://github.com/DocNow/twarc">Twarc</a> or <a href="https://github.com/DocNow/hydrator">Hydrator</a> can be used to hydrate tweets.</p>

<p>Per Twitter’s Developer Policy, tweet ids may be publicly shared for academic purposes; tweets may not.</p>
