Twitter Samples

These samples of Tweets (or 'status updates') were collected from the
Twitter Streaming and REST APIs (see
https://dev.twitter.com/overview/documentation,
https://dev.twitter.com/streaming/overview). Each file consists of
line-separated JSON-formatted tweets, i.e. one Tweet per line. For a
detailed description of the JSON fields in a Tweet, see
https://dev.twitter.com/overview/api/tweets.

Any use of this data is subject to the Twitter Developer Agreement and
Developer Policy:
