The repository contains an ongoing collection of tweets IDs associated with the 2022 French election. This dataset spans 04/03/2022 - 05/15/2022, which covers the weeks leading up to and after the election held on 04/10/22 and 04/24/22. We leveraged Twitter’s streaming API to follow specified accounts and also collect in real-time tweets that mention specific keywords. To comply with Twitter’s Terms of Service, we are only publicly releasing the Tweet IDs of the collected Tweets. The data is released for non-commercial research use.

The Tweet-IDs are organized as follows:
- Tweet-ID files are stored in folders that indicate the year and month of the collection (YEAR-MONTH).
- Individual Tweet-ID files contain a collection of Tweet IDs, and the file names all follow the same structure, with a prefix “french-election-2022-” followed by the YEAR-MONTH-DATE-HOUR.
- Note that Twitter returns Tweets in UTC, and thus all Tweet ID folders and file names are all in UTC as well.
