Hello.
I am busy with my masters thesis on Twitter use by academics in a specific higher education institution. As a first phase in my research, I am planning on using the Human resources data from the institution - i.e. Name and Surname in order to derive how many academics are using Twitter. There are not that many academics at the institution and I was thinking of conducting a manual search on Twitter. Essentially, I will use the name and surname to search on Twitter and this will aid me in determining an aggregated number. E.g. 50% of academics use Twitter. I would also like to record information such as number of tweets, the date when the academic joined Twitter etc.
In this instance do I have to apply for the academic track?
Thanks!
No, all of this can be done with Standard access - you can use v1.1 search for users: GET users/search | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform and the user objects will have the created_at date when the user joined twitter, and count of tweets etc User object | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform
