title: Coronavirus Tweet Ids

description: &lt;p&gt;This dataset contains the tweet ids of 354,903,485 tweets related to Coronavirus or COVID-19. They were collected between March 3, 2020 and December 3, 2020 from the Twitter API using &lt;a href="https://gwu-libraries.github.io/sfm-ui/"&gt;Social Feed Manager&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please note that this is VERSION 9 of this data set. See the Versions tab below for all versions. &lt;a href="https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/LW0BTB&version=1.3"&gt;Version 1&lt;/a&gt; contains tweets from March 3, 2020 through March 19, 2020. &lt;a href="https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/LW0BTB&version=2.1"&gt;Version 2&lt;/a&gt; contains tweets from March 3, 2020 through March 31, 2020. &lt;a href="https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/LW0BTB&version=4.1"&gt;Version 4&lt;/a&gt; contains tweets from March 3, 2020 through April 16, 2020. &lt;a href="https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/LW0BTB&version=5.0"&gt;Version 5&lt;/a&gt; contains tweets from March 3 through May 1, 2020. &lt;a href="https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/LW0BTB&version=6.0"&gt;Version 6&lt;/a&gt; contains tweets from March 3 through May 27, 2020. &lt;a href="https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/LW0BTB&version=7.0"&gt;Version 7&lt;/a&gt; contains tweets from March 3 through June 9, 2020.
 &lt;a href="https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/LW0BTB&version=8.0"&gt;Version 8&lt;/a&gt; contains tweets from March 3, 2020 through July 27, 2022



&lt;p&gt;These tweets were collected using the POST statuses/filter method of the Twitter Stream API, using the track parameter with the following keywords: #Coronavirus, #Coronaoutbreak, #COVID19&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Because of the size of the collection, the list of identifiers is split into 36 files of up to 10 million lines each, with a tweet identifier on each line. There is a covid19filter-README.txt file containing additional documentation on how the tweets were collected.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Data from the first and last days of the collection do not represent complete days.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The GET statuses/lookup method supports retrieving the complete tweet for a tweet id (known as hydrating). Tools such as &lt;a href="https://github.com/DocNow/twarc"&gt;Twarc&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="https://github.com/DocNow/hydrator"&gt;Hydrator&lt;/a&gt; can be used to hydrate tweets.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Per Twitter’s Developer Policy, tweet ids may be publicly shared for academic purposes; tweets may not. This dataset contains only tweet ids, not the actual tweets.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We intend to continue updating this dataset periodically, as the collection is ongoing. &lt;strong&gt;Please check the Versions tab below for new versions.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Questions about this dataset can be sent to sfm@gwu.edu. George Washington University researchers should contact us for access to the tweets.&lt;/p&gt;
