The Mastodon Recent Posts Data Collector retrieves recent public posts and replies from a specified public Mastodon server.
The Mastodon Hashtag Search Data Collector retrieves recent public posts and replies with a specified hashtag from any public Mastodon server.
Users of Communalytic EDU can retrieve up to 5,000 recent posts and replies from Mastodon, while Communalytic PRO users can retrieve up to 50,000. Communalytic users can start collecting data immediately without first having to create a Mastodon account or apply for a separate Mastodon API key.
These new data collectors will provide Communalytic users with a systematic way to collect publicly available Mastodon data for academic research and are being released as part of our work developing research tools, techniques, and visualization dashboards to support computational social science.
