          1. Experimenting with the Twitter API this afternoon for a personal project and I'm super fascinated by the contextual data you can pull off the v2 API...

      Some tweets get scraped for context and some don't. And I'm not sure why? chiquiesteban's tweet looking for a digital cartographer doesn't have context_annotations, but jeremybowers Retweet of that tweet gets 4 entity's attached to it.

    I interact with many journalists on my timeline... but fascinating to see which names are officially part of Twitter's dataset of entities with type Journalist, including emilybell, jayrosen_nyu, MikeIsaac, sarafischer who seems to be mislabeled as SarahD for some reason.

      And it is interesting to see that sometimes things are recognized inside their "context_annocations" while others it is in both context_annotations and entities.annotations

        For the curious, Twitter's API setup is easy & they have a Postman collection to get you set up quick: developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/tweets/lookup/quick-start I looked up User Lookup > User by Username & then Timelines > User Tweet timeline by ID If the user is an entity, it will show on their tweets.
