NTS: Nordic Tweet Stream

Search, subset, visualize, and download user-generated social media data from the Nordic region.
The NTS dataset contains nearly 74 million messages from over 888 thousand user accounts from January 2013 to May 2023. For details, please see About and Statistics.

This interface has two pages:
You are now on the “Search page” where you can search for any word or phrase and refine your search by applying filters to your search.
The results are displayed on the “Results page” (not surprisingly). The results page displays some basic information of your search, offers the results in a key-word-in-context format, and visualizes your results on a map that can be zoomed in/out. You can also download a maximum of 10,000 hits with select metadata. If you want more data, there will be an API available soon.
