#30DayMapChallenge related tweets are collected via Twitter REST API with the hashtag #30DayMapChallenge. The example of raw .json data returned via Twitter REST API can be found in .\example folder. This repo only selects several attributes from tweet metadata, including: tweet_id, tweet_text, language, tweet_created_at, retweet, favourite, hashtags, user_id, user_name, user, user_loc, user_follower, friends_count, media and save as .csv file in .\data folder.
Note:
#30DayMapChallengewith media attachments- search tweets by date
- some tweets in certain time zones (such as Pacific Time) might be searched and collected in the 'next' day
There are around 8446 media attachments (i.e., images/gifs/videos) found in #30DayMapChallenge tweets in Nov 2022.
As Topi Tjukanov mentioned in 30DayMapChallenge page, this mapping challenge is NOT a competition. Although this repo sorts maps by their favourite count and retweet count, this repo never intends to compare all the wonderful maps but creates an altas of inspiring maps.
Top favourited tweets refer to the tweets that get many liked/:heart:. The favourite count is extracted from favorite_count value in tweet metadata.
