[Air-L] Novice questions on how to extract tweets for China "social credit system" chimera project

[Ollier Malaterre, Ariane]

Hello amazing community,

I'm working with Emilie Szwajnoch on a project to document the birth of the Chinese "social credit system" chimera in Western anglophone countries and we have naïve questions on how to extract tweets as this is our first time doing this and the situation with X is evolving rapidly. I hope experts in the community can help!

a.        How can we extract tweets in their entirety (text, pictures, and links)?

b.        If we extract tweets with shortened links, will the links work after extraction?

c.        Is it possible to extract all tweets posted in specific countries based on an X user's location? Or will we not have a full sample if an X user is not sharing their location (may this depend on countries' privacy regulations)?

d.        Is there a provider that this community trusts to do the extraction in case we don't do it ourselves?

Thank you very much!
