1 year ago We've decided to pull Tweets each hour while the New York Stock Exchange is active (including the same times on weekends). We'll analyze a small number of large stocks (e.g. Apple, Google, Meta) and a large number of small stocks so that approximately half of our Tweets relate to each kind of stock. We considered pulling Tweets many times when Twitter users are most active but decided this would not give us a complete representation of Tweets across an entire day.
Because we have a limit on the Tweets we can pull and are required to pull Tweets from the most recent week, we must carefully decide when to pull Tweets. Also, we can only pull 100 Tweets at a time, so we should pull Tweets from multiple times each day.
