New Years 2021 Tweets

Context I wrote a quick script to scrape 100k tweets that mentioned the keywords "New Year". I pulled these tweets from the Twitter API over the span of a couple of hours so there wouldn't be a clustering of tweets from a single timezone/country.

Content These tweets were all scraped in the evening to the night of December 31st, 2021 from the Twitter API. I ignored all tweets that just retweeted or quote tweets from other users.

Column 1 This column is just to keep track of the tweet number in this dataset. Since the id column tracks the tweet id from Twitter and those numbers are quite large. I wanted something smaller to keep track of ids in this scope.

author_id This column is the unique id of the author of the tweet.

id This column is the tweet id provided by Twitter.

text The text of the tweet. Some tweets contain emojis, links, and mentions.

username The username of the author of the tweet.

Acknowledgements This dataset would not exist without the Twitter API.

Inspiration One of my main ideas of something that could be done with this data would be a sentiment analysis on how people were feeling about the new year starting.
