What this is

Every row here was returned by a real run of a public collector. Nothing is generated from a template over a keyword list: a row exists because a run observed it.

A browsable presentation of the subset that carries an addressable handle is published as 7,188 entity pages at https://reapx.dev/data/mastodon-scraper/, one page per entity. This dataset is the larger of the two — rows whose payload has no field that can address a page are here and are not published there.

Provenance

Each row carries _run_id and _dataset_id, naming the collector run that produced it, so any row can be traced back to the run that observed it. Rows observed by more than one run are deduplicated on content; 156 duplicate observations were collapsed.

Files

mastodon-scraper.jsonl — one JSON object per row, the canonical form
mastodon-scraper.csv — the same rows flattened; nested values are JSON-encoded within their cell so they round-trip
dataset.json — schema.org Dataset metadata
