116th U.S. Congress Tweet Ids

This dataset contains the tweet ids of 2,817,747 tweets by members of the 116th United States Congress. They were collected between January 27, 2019 and May 7, 2020 from the Twitter API using Social Feed Manager.

These tweet ids are broken up into two collections. Each collection was collected from the GET statuses/user_timeline method of the Twitter REST API (retrieved on a weekly schedule). The collections are: 

Senators: congress116-senate-ids.txt
Representatives: congress116-house-ids.txt
 

There is a README.txt file for each collection containing additional documentation on how it was collected. There is also an accounts.csv file for each collection listing the Twitter accounts that were collected.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.We intend to update this dataset.Questions about this dataset can be sent to [e-mail]. George Washington University researchers should contact us for access to the tweets.

本数据集收录了第116届美国国会成员发布的2,817,747条推文的推文ID（tweet ids）。数据采集工作于2019年1月27日至2020年5月7日期间完成，通过Social Feed Manager工具从Twitter API获取数据。

该推文ID数据集被划分为两个集合，两个集合均通过Twitter REST API的GET statuses/user_timeline接口按周定期采集获取，具体如下：
- 参议院数据集：congress116-senate-ids.txt
- 众议院数据集：congress116-house-ids.txt

每个数据集集合均附带README.txt文件，内含该数据集的详细采集说明；同时各配有accounts.csv文件，列表展示本次采集涉及的全部Twitter账号。

GET statuses/lookup接口支持通过推文ID获取完整推文内容，该过程被称为推文水化（hydrating）。可使用Twarc或Hydrator等工具完成推文水化操作。

根据Twitter开发者政策，推文ID可出于学术目的公开共享，但完整推文内容不得公开。

我方计划对本数据集进行后续更新。若对本数据集有任何疑问，请发送邮件至[e-mail]。乔治华盛顿大学的研究人员如需获取完整推文内容，请与我们联系。
