Healthcare Tweet Ids

This dataset contains the tweet ids of approximately 132,907,659 tweets related to announcement of the American Health Care Act (AHCA). They were collected between March 9, 2017 and April 13, 2018 from the Twitter API using Social Feed Manager. These tweet ids are broken up into 2 collections. Each collection was collected either from the GET statuses/search method of the Twitter REST API (retrieved on a weekly schedule) or the POST statuses/filter method of the Twitter Stream API. The collections are: Healthcare filter (Twitter filter): healthcare-filter_ids.txt.[00-13] Healthcare search (Twitter seasrch): healthcare-search_ids.txt There is a README.txt file for each collection containing additional documentation on how it was collected, including the keywords used in each collection. The GET statuses/lookup method supports retrieving the complete tweet for a tweet id (known as hydrating). Tools such as Twarc or Hydrator can be used to hydrate tweets. Per Twitter’s Developer Policy, tweet ids may be publicly shared for academic purposes; tweets may not. Questions about this dataset can be sent to [e-mail]. George Washington University researchers should contact us for access to the tweets.
