2022 Brazilian Presidential Election This dataset contains 7,015,186 tweets from 951,602 users, extracted using 91 search terms over 36 days between August 1st and December 31st, 2022. All tweets in this dataset are in Brazilian Portuguese. Data Usage The dataset contains textual data from tweets, making it suitable for various NLP analyses, such as sentiment analysis, bias or stance detection, and toxic language detection. Additionally, users and tweets can be linked to create social graphs, enabling Social Network Analysis (SNA) to study polarization, communities, and other social dynamics. Extraction Method This data set was extracted using Twitter's (now X) official API—when Academic Research API access was still available—following the pipeline: 1. Twitter/X daily monitoring: The dataset author monitored daily political events appearing in Brazil's Trending Topics. Twitter/X has an automated system for classifying trending terms. When a term was identified as political, it was stored along with its date for later use as a search query. 2. Tweet collection using saved search terms: Once terms and their corresponding dates were recorded, tweets were extracted from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM on the day the term entered the Trending Topics. A language filter was applied to select only tweets in Portuguese. The extraction was performed using the official Twitter/X API. 3. Data storage: The extracted data was organized by day and search term. If the same search term appeared in Trending Topics on consecutive days, a separate file was stored for each respective day.
