vosonSML
vosonSML is an R package that provides a suite of tools for collecting data across social media platforms: Mastodon, YouTube, Reddit, X (Twitter)* and the web (hyperlinks), and generating different types of networks for analysis. vosonSML is available on CRAN and GitHub.
Bryan Gertzel is the lead developer and maintainer of vosonSML. vosonSML was originally created by Tim Graham and Robert Ackland, with contributions by Chung-hong Chan.
* Note: At this time, we are unable to maintain X (Twitter) collection features and advise that the vosonSML X (Twitter) functions may no longer work with recent updates to the X (Twitter) API. If problems are encountered we suggest trying to collect data with the rtweet package and using the vosonSML function ImportRtweet to import data.
