finalise first version of Twitter data collection tools in wiki #41

Closed FlxVctr closed 4 years ago

FlxVctr commented 4 years ago

At least with the tools we already have in the Google Spreadsheet. Template is the Instagram tools wiki page.

While doing this, I was thinking about the SMO-TMAS app that Jason did during his time in the institute. Would you add the application to the List or would you say, it's basically not that important. It doesn't do anything that is groundbreaking towards the other apps. Therefore my thoughts were cutting it from the list. Also I don't know if Jason will have the time to maintain it over the next years.

Whats your thought?

FlxVctr commented 4 years ago

I'd leave it in, also because it's a nice example how to create a shiny app (which is a good topic for the how to section). (On a side note: Before, we were thinking to exclude R apps, but I think we should rethink that. It's too popular in the community and we can actually build up the competence to give some support.)

But make sure to include the stuff by VOSON Lab as well, as it is very similar but more powerful.

manilevian commented 4 years ago

Ohrighty, I added VSON back to the list. Also I will keep the TMAS app within the list!

manilevian commented 4 years ago

First version is online and ready to check! I used the same wording as for the IG Tools. Hope its okay like that.

FlxVctr commented 4 years ago

Also made some edits right away (https://github.com/Leibniz-HBI/Social-Media-Observatory/wiki/Twitter-Tools/_compare/ef4161396b74561248bca12d1257d4b3096262ca...57f1ae531ccc6dce24427ac0db878fdb9f7073fb )

Thanks a lot!

Hope that does it :)

Some minor things that caught my eye:

1.

Most of these Twitter tools connect to official Twitter APIs and therefore need an API Key from Twitter. You can retrieve an API key from Twitter easily, just follow the documentation. You are bound to the restrictions given by Twitter. You can read about these here.

The link behind here is not very specific.

  1. I think we should specify what a tool can collect, maybe in its description, if we have only 'partially' in the table. What do you think?
FlxVctr commented 4 years ago

So, for example, for twarc, I'd be interested what information it doesn't collect for location.

manilevian commented 4 years ago

I will add this link to the direct rate limits: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/rate-limits

In fact, twarc can search for locations and also pull the needed information for a tweets location, if it is a non priv. information. Therefore the table is wrong.

The only Application that would need a new information therefore is our SMO-TMAS. Since its a visual application i am not sure if you really need to describe it since you can see whats being fetched after one click. Ofc. I can add it if you like too.

I will check through the table again, since this is the second mistake.

FlxVctr commented 4 years ago

Cool, thanks :) Let me know when you're done.

manilevian commented 4 years ago

Changed the table, added "No local installation needed" to SMO-TMAS!

I checked through the table, and all features should be marked correctly. The features have been checked again and all are defined or noted as limitation. The links to all documentations have been checked, please ensure if the documentation links for VSON are okay now, since they only have a forum, it wasnt so easy to find :)!

FlxVctr commented 4 years ago

Looks good! Closing this for now. Thanks for your work 👍
