This repository contains all the materials for the workshop Collecting and Analyzing Social Media Data I offered at The Big Data for Development and Governance conference on October 20, 2022 at the University of Pennsylvania. The conference is organized by the DevLab@Penn/PDRI and co-sponsored by Perry World House, USAID’s Center for Democracy, Human Rights, USAID’s Governance and Innovation, Technology, and Research (ITR) Hub, and Penn’s SAS Data Driven Discovery Initiative.
The one-hour workshop Collecting and Analyzing Social Media Data provides an overview of the ways in which social media data can be gathered, analyzed and used for research. This is a practical session, walking participants through data sources and beginner code to understand basic characteristics of the data.
The workshop will cover the basics of accessing data on three different platforms: Twitter, Youtube, and Telegram.
Below you can link the links for the slides and notebooks we will work through in the workshop.
