# Truth Social Dataset (Limited Version)

**License:** [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

---

## Overview

This dataset contains posts and comments scraped from Truth Social, focusing on Donald Trump’s posts (“Truths” and “Retruths”).  
Due to the initial collection method, all media and URLs were excluded. Future versions will include complete post data, including images and links.
Contains 31.8Million Comments, and over 18000 Posts all By Trump. 
As well as logged over 1.5Million unique users who commented on his posts. 

---

## Data Schema

```json
{
  "_id": "string",          // The post's ID
  "owner": "string",        // The user who owns the post
  "text": "string"          // The text content of the post (URLs and media removed)
}
```

### Comments

```json
{
  "_id": "string",          // The comment's ID
  "owner": "string",        // The user who created the comment

}
```

## Notes

- **Media and URLs:** All URLs and media content were stripped from this dataset.  
- **Coverage:** Includes all of Donald Trump’s Truths and Retruths, except those that contained *only* media.  
  - Comments for those posts were still collected.  
- **Data Collection Flaw:** Media-only posts were ignored, which limited completeness.  
- **Scraper:** The current scraper is still running and will continue to collect new data. Future releases will fix previous collection flaws.

## Future Work

- Re-scrape data to include media and URLs.  
- Expand the dataset beyond Donald Trump’s account.  
- Improve metadata completeness and scraping accuracy.  
- Release updated versions with better coverage and structure.
