Twitter makes full tweet archive free for academic researchers
Twitter has allowed
third-party academic researchers free access to the full history of public
conversation via the full-archive search endpoint, which was previously limited
to paid premium or enterprise customers.
Twitter
API was first introduced in 2006 and since then, academic researchers have used
data from the public conversation to study topics as diverse as the conversation
on Twitter itself.
These
include state-backed efforts to disrupt the public conversation to floods and
climate change, from attitudes and perceptions about COVID-19 to efforts to promote healthy conversation online.
"Today,
academic researchers are one of the largest groups of people using the Twitter
API," the company said in a blog post late on Tuesday.
With the
new Academic Research product track on the Twitter API, qualified researchers
will have access to all data released to date.
They will
have higher levels of access to the Twitter developer platform for free,
including a significantly higher monthly Tweet volume cap of 10 million (20
times higher than what's available on the Standard product track today). Read More
