I’ve spent time searching, both online and this sub, and have found surprisingly little. I expected there to be a multiple datasets of tweets from US politicians. So far, the best I’ve found is https://www.thetrumparchive.com/ All the others are extremely limited or 5+ years old.
This seems very strange to me. This is an important record. It should exist.
I am a developer and know how to interact with APIs, but X now wants lots of money, most people don’t know how to use an API, and it’s not that helpful for going back years and years.
Am I missing something? What datasets do people use to examine the social media behavior of US politicians? Why isn’t this data readily available?
