This workshop is designed for those who are interested in getting started with their own research and analytics of Twitter data. The workshop introduces workflows for using the Twitter API for programmers and non-programmers alike. For non-programmers, we’ll be using the Postman software. For programmers, we’ll demonstrate the same process in Python. We will also discuss some of the limitations of the Twitter API and cover how to parse the JSON data retrieved from it.
