Overview of data in pro-who-tweets.csv

The following table (made with help of a markdown table generator), outlines the count of each search type that was pulled from tweets with that pattern posted on 22 September 2021. The maximum number of tweets collected for each pattern was 1,000, meaning that numbers less than 1,000 represent all the tweets from that day corresponding to that pattern.

Each line in this file is a comma-separated list (csv) of the following information:

• date: The datestamp (date & time) that the tweet was sent
• content: The unedited text of the tweet
• id: the tweet ID
• url: the address where this tweet can be publically viewed
