Collecting Twitter Data Manuelly

[AnitaDev101]

Hi there, I want to know if manually collecting data from a twitter profile is allowed.

The data I want to collect is the number of followers , the number of following, the number of favourites , if there is a location available and if there is a bio. That’s it.

I am doing an experiment and I need this data but the policy doesn’t specify whether this is allowed.

The data that was collected will not be published just the results of the experiment.

Hi! Thanks for your question.

In general, this kind of publicly-available information is fine to use. You should be mindful about when and how you present information about specific individuals — but especially if you use this data in the aggregate, this should be permitted under our rules.
