About
This dataset contains a collection of approximately 100,000 tweets scraped from the Twitter API, specifically mentioning keywords related to "New Year" [1]. The tweets were collected during the evening and night of 31st December 2021 [1, 2]. The scraping process was conducted over several hours to prevent a concentration of tweets from a single timezone or country, aiming for a broad geographical representation [1]. To ensure focus on original content, retweets and quote tweets from other users were intentionally excluded [1, 2]. This dataset is ideal for analysing public sentiment and social trends around the New Year period [1].
Columns
- Tweet number in the dataset: An internal tracking number for tweets within this specific dataset, provided to offer a smaller identifier compared to the large numerical Twitter IDs [1, 2].
- author_id: The unique identification number assigned to the author of each tweet by Twitter [1, 2].
- id: The unique identification number assigned to the tweet itself by Twitter [1, 2].
- text: The full content of the tweet. This column may include various elements such as emojis, external links, and mentions of other users [1, 2].
- username: The publicly visible username of the tweet's author [1, 2].
Distribution
The dataset is typically provided in CSV format [3]. It comprises approximately 110,000 records [1, 4, 5], representing a significant volume of social media posts. For instance, the 'Tweet number in the dataset' column has over 110,000 unique values [5].

- Conducting sentiment analysis to understand public opinion and feelings about the start of the New Year [1].
