U.S. Capitol Riot and #TrumpRally Tweet IDs

This dataset contains the tweet ids of 1,497,270 tweets related to the riots at the U.S. Capitol beginning January 6, 2021. They were collected between Jan. 6, 2021, 3:15 p.m. EST and Feb. 1, 2021, 12:00:00 a.m. EST from the POST statuses/filter method of the Twitter Stream API using Social Feed Manager. Hashtags included in the collection are #TrumpRally, #Democracy, #USCapitol, #Capitol, #DCProtests, and #AshliBabbit. The Trump-rally-README.txt file contains additional documentation on how the tweets were collected, including the dates and times hashtags were added to collecting. 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.
