Where can I download tweets about past disasters (flood, storm, earthquake, volcanic eruption) for research purposes?

  • @philshem : I'm torn on closing this as a duplicate, as they might want to search by keyword rather than solely by hashtag. – Joe Feb 12 '16 at 18:36
  • @Joe hashtags are just keywords that are clickable. With the API-search there is no difference (although hashtags come back as a structured list, in addition to being in text). – philshem Feb 12 '16 at 19:14
  • @philshem : the problem is that the other question would allow an answer to be a service that only indexed on hashtags ... whereas this question might require free-text searching for terms that haven't been indexed in advance. – Joe Feb 12 '16 at 19:34
  • With the API, searching "haiku" will return results with "#haiku". https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public/search – philshem Feb 13 '16 at 09:16
