- Limited Dataset:
6
 
7
- Due to how I collected the data, the scheme follows this: 
8
 
9
- Posts = {
10
- "_id": The Post's ID,
11
- "owner": The user who owns the post,
12
- "text": The text content of the post, but URLs and images are removed.
 
13
  }
14
- Comments = {
15
- "_id": The ID of the comment,
16
- "owner": The user who created the comment,
17
- "reply_to": the message ID that the user is replying to.
18
- "text": The text content with URLs and Media removed.
 
 
 
 
 
19
  }
20
- Users = {
21
- "_id": the user's ID,
22
- "completed": If all of the users' posts have been scraped accurately to October 8th,
23
- "lastFetch": The news post fetched by that author for posts, not comments,
24
- "resume": The last post ID fetched by the scraper for a specific user,
 
 
 
 
 
25
  }

- All URLs and media have been scrapped and not collected, which is a significant downside to the dataset. I will work on creating a new one with the same data, ensuring it collects all media. 
28
- ALSO: I still have the current scraper running, so I will post different versions that include more than just Trump's posts and their subsequent comments. This data set includes all of Trump's Truths and retruths, except for posts that only contained media, which were ignored, but the comments were still fetched. Again, that was a flaw in my data collection, and I hope to recollect everything again to make a better dataset.

- Anyone can use this data for whatever they want!

8
+
9
+ This dataset contains posts and comments scraped from Truth Social, focusing on Donald Trump’s posts (“Truths” and “Retruths”).
10
+ Due to the initial collection method, all media and URLs were excluded. Future versions will include complete post data, including images and links.

+ ## Notes
51
+
52
+ - **Media and URLs:** All URLs and media content were stripped from this dataset.
53
+ - **Coverage:** Includes all of Donald Trump’s Truths and Retruths, except those that contained *only* media.
54
+ - Comments for those posts were still collected.
55
+ - **Data Collection Flaw:** Media-only posts were ignored, which limited completeness.
56
+ - **Scraper:** The current scraper is still running and will continue to collect new data. Future releases will fix previous collection flaws.
