It's quite common on the ward round for us to question the appropriateness for a certain drug in a patient. We can often remember that, say, the Jupiter trial investigated the effects of rosuvastatin, but was it all cause mortality or cardiovascular death? Were patients with chronic renal failure excluded? If you google search it it can take some time, signal can be poor, and some sites just don't list the finer aspects of the trials. A local database would be great, but I expect it's a very ambitious request.

Yes, it does, but I'd quite like something I could quickly index on my phone, such as a huge table with the drug in question, primary end point, number needed to treat etc., rather than google searching etc.

Admittedly, jfasi would probably have to do some data entry to get this to work right, but it is a great starting point. I would hope that some city would have a detailed GIS database with speed limits, traffic lights, and so on for download. If you wanted a pretty high quality dataset with all of this I'd recommend NavTeq, but I'm also guessing that you don't have funding for the product. **EDIT**: After thinking about this a little more, I think North Carolina's DOT has a fairly good handle on GIS and has [quite a bit of data available for download](http://www.ncdot.org/it/gis/DataDistribution/DOTData/default.html). Note that I've never looked at these datasets.

You could rent a Canon 5D MKII or a 7D And do your own high-res video, or you can go down to your local video shop and ask the owners to help you get some footage from one of their RED cameras- if you are publishing this, they won't mind the publicity at all.

I created it to see how the earthquake/ tsunami affected the availability of web servers in Japan (my test at the time showed 86% were still online). That many banners can also be used to determine software usage stats for Japan's web servers or to create fingerprints in general.

You can use IMDBpy http://imdbpy.sourceforge.net/ to read the files. It comes with a number of example programs, one of them can import the IMDB files into a mysql database. Once in a SQL database it is real easy to do whatever you want with the data.

How did you go with the imdb / jmdb ? I started mucking about with it in my spare time, I got the original C source (with some tweaking) to build on a linux box (ubuntu) and to build on a windows 7 box (using Watcom C). The data files are largish but can be sliced and diced with unix text processing tools fairly readily (head, tail, ssed). I've only just started on the jmdb, so far I've got PostGres and the jmdb.jar things talking to each other via the latest jdbc (java data base connection) and am halfway through loading and converting the text data from the .list imdb files ---> a postgres db. If you're still mucking about I can fill you in on what I did if you can describe what you're working with & how far you got.

Bringing it into R? Does R read SQL? I'm thinking of running a shell script that basically eats up the Twitter feed for the next few months, and puts it into a raw file, then using JSON>SQL converter to write it straight to an SQL database and then analyzing it out of there. while [ 1 ]; do 'curl http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/sample.json -s -uUSER:PASS -Y 0 -retry 9999 -retry-max-time 0 >> /tmp/tweets'; sleep 2s; done; This script pulls in about 8000 tweets / 10 min for me in testing this morning

Yeah, it's not too bad. The 1% stream is available at: http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/sample.json Gives you a JSON pack which you just throw into your a database. Keep refreshing it for new chunks of data. Not sure if there are rate limiting guidelines you must follow, or if that sample stream is already limited. It's one line of code with MongoDB: curl http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/sample.json -u <user>:<pass> | mongoimport -c twitter_live As per [Eliot's page](http://eliothorowitz.com/post/459890033/streaming-twitter-into-mongodb) which explains it. Working with the data is another matter though lol.

I'm looking at very similar research. You are trying to learn Python to get data from Twitter yourself?

Thanks ! I did download the data and am looking at it now trying to bring it into R. I am still simultaneously trying to learn python so that I can write a my own code (this step is not going so well). Do let me know if you get any data or anything. AM looking to fit the data to financial metrics and see if there is a causal relationship. What are you looking at?

yes, some of them will. but most of the files are so large that notepad will stop working when I try to open them...i think my best bet will be to go through the setup guide again and figure out how to get JMDB to work

Hi pzauteenk, I was the one that submitted that link to /r/datasets, download it while you can. We are in the same boat: I am also researching economic sentiment, and require at least a year's worth of data. I will keep you posted if I find/develop anything else though, as I am currently testing a pretty intense scraping script. Mine-your-own seems to be the way to go at this stage. As per rialtund's suggestion of contacting Stanford and Edinburgh, don't bother. I have already been in a bit of back-and-forth contact with them, and they are not budging. Twitter slammed down pretty hard there. [See my thread here where I ask if anyone has a copy of the data](http://www.reddit.com/r/datasets/comments/febek/rdatasets_does_anyone_here_have_a_copy_of_the/)... Keep in touch, please let me know if you find anything as well.

Unfortunately Twitter is shutting down much of this unless you want to pay through Gnip. We were allowing public downloads of anything you wanted through the 140kit.com but Twitter shut us down (even after many good emails with them and positive feedback) as per their new ToS implementation. Learning enough Ruby to interface with Twitter's API shouldn't take more than 20 hours of work at most.

Unfortunately, there aren't any other bigger public twitter datasets. Stanford's and Edinburgh's datasets aren't available publicly anymore. If you contact them, they might make it available to you. It doesn't hurt to try. The Library of Congress has a database of every tweet made, but they haven't released it. Other than that, you're going to need to mine your own data.

yes I saw that. They provide data from sept 09 to jan 10. I was looking for atleast a years data since I need to do some 'out of sample' prediction modeling for economic sentiment. I'm not very particular about twitter and all... Any popular blogging service would work.. Just that twitter is one of the most popular ones

It looks like you'll get the best results using the unix tools in the ftp\tools directory to parse the .list files into a more database like format. I had a quick look at a few .list files (eg composers) and the format is deceptive. The unix tools appear to use a lexical scanner generated by flex to parse the raw files. EDIT: It appears *in theory* that the JMDB (java movie database) route is probably easiest as it will convert the IMDB text files into a straightforward MySQL or PostGres database. How far through the [setup guide](http://www.jmdb.de/content/doc/readme.txt) did you get?

If you're not necessarily looking to use the data in a web app, I like the [MSN Money Central](http://www.ilovefreesoftware.com/15/windows/productivity/finance/download-msn-moneycentral-stock-quotes-add-in-for-excel.html) add-in for Excel - it's great for setting up recurring queries and pulling the data into a spreadsheet format.

From what i can see from the page source, the content of the "related companies" and "recent quotes" is nicely formatted in json, the price for the stock you are seeing is instead in a <span> with what seems to be a "random" id. But i will be wary about constantly requesting their pages, it looks plausible that they could have some sort of request rate limitation, so that no one can build their own stock prices API using their data.

Back in 2008, I used to scrape Google Finance pages for their tick data. Though I'm not sure if it's still as easily available on the page with the graph flash applet but their resolution is much finer than other free sources including Yahoo Finance. 2 min intervals on high volume stocks. Try looking for it in the source for each Goog Finance page.

For a quick solution try use the YQL web service API from Yahoo! Quick tutorial for pulling stock quotes [here](http://jarloo.com/tutorials/get-yahoo-finance-api-data-via-yql/) It works similar to SQL: select * from yahoo.finance.stocks where symbol=”aapl” or for example select * from yahoo.finance.historicaldata where symbol = “YHOO” and startDate = “2009-09-11″ and endDate = “2010-03-10″ > YQL works through a REST API. You pass the REST API your query and other optional parameters such as the format to return your query in: XML or JSON.

The format of the episodes on j-archive varies. J-archive isn't 100% comprehensive as it's missing quite a few episodes from the early seasons. My scraper may have caught a corner case and not completed scraping. My unique ID isn't exactly unique either, I think I'm going to use a md5 sum of a string containing the category, dollar value, and episode number. I'll look into it.

Perfect!! Thanks so much. I don't have time to peruse the dataset yet, but it's curious that ScraperWiki indicates some 11,000-odd records when there are over 200,000 Jeopardy questions. Maybe they throttle the scraper and it will load over the next few days. I haven't read any FAQs on the site though. I love Reddit, and I'm glad that we're getting some cool stuff in /r/datasets.

While IANAL, if the pages are in clear text on the public Internet (i.e. no registration required to view them), then I doubt "stealing" enters into the discussion. Even the so-called "site ToS" is a bit legally gray, IMHO, and absolutely a fantasy if the site visitor is not in the same jurisdiction as the site [author? server? see... filled with silliness].

Thanks for the suggestions. No, I haven't contacted j-archive, and while can do that, i fear that people clam up if they think you are "stealing" their site (even though I'm aware as a fan site that this data doesn't belong to them). I hadn't heard of ScraperWiki. That's awesome; definitely gonna bookmark that site. I'll look at this tonight. Edit: liking ScraperWiki the more I think of it since it allows me to not only backfill but to create an ongoing feed. Thanks!

I have two suggestions, hopefully in increasing order of helpfulness: 1. Have you written to j-archive.com to see if you could have (or compensate for time spent) a database dump? I would think from their perspective it would save a ton on bandwidth costs given that they wouldn't need to serve out the $whatever-kb HTML wrapper around the data. 2. Barring that, if you were not already aware there is a community web scraping site (http://ScraperWiki.com/) which is almost designed for what you are proposing. There are two great things about that service: it allows community maintenance of the scraper, reducing the burden of keeping it fresh and they *seem* to be using a key-value datastore behind the scenes, so persisting (and thus doing incremental scrapes) should be less problematic. For your consideration.

Hello, I think that this is an interesting data set. I am an undergraduate economics student and got a research grant to fund some research looking into this with some econometrics. I plan on running some regressions and will make sure to share my results when I have them. I was wondering if you had the "cleaned" dataset available and would be willing to share it with me to save me some time in cleaning it myself.
