Participants will learn how to collect data from Twitter and Mastodon using the twarc2 command line tool and the Mastodon API. We will discuss different methods of programmatic data access and how to share social media data using the Social Media Archive at ICPSR. After completing this tutorial, participants will be able to collect or reuse social media data in their own projects and share that data with others to verify, reproduce, and extend their work.
