digitalmethodsinitiative/4cat
The 4CAT Capture and Analysis Toolkit provides modular data capture & analysis for a variety of social media platforms.
This toolkit helps researchers, students, and journalists gather and analyze publicly available data from various social media platforms. You input parameters like platform, keywords, or URLs, and it outputs organized datasets (CSV/JSON) and visualizations, without requiring any coding skills. It's designed for anyone needing to study online discussions and trends.
372 stars.
Use this if you need to capture and analyze social media data for research, journalism, or academic projects and prefer a user-friendly web interface over programming.
Not ideal if you need to analyze private social media data, or if you require real-time, high-volume data streaming beyond what public APIs and web scraping typically allow.
