This page shows the progress of my Twitter parser that gathers data, used for research on social media propaganda groups.

The PHP source code being queried by the JQuery GET loop can be downloaded here.

In a nutshell, the parser starts with a Twitter handle, downloads all the tweets from the associated account’s feed, and puts all the tweets from associated conversation in the queue, along with their authors, and all the people who liked or retweeted every tweet in the conversation. Then, the parser loops through the queue of tweets and the queue of accounts.

Currently gathering data on:

Number of accounts parsed:

0

Number of tweets parsed:

0

Number of accounts in the queue:

Number of tweets in the queue:

0

Number of original tweets (queue + parsed):

0

Number of retweets (queue + parsed):

0

Number of likes (queue + parsed):

Number of replies (queue + parsed):
