I guess that makes Twitter data cheaper than before? Last time when I contacted them for one week of worth tweets (with some filters on top) they wanted me to pay tens of thousands dollars. I ended up crawling the data myself.

were you able to get firehose access for that? or were you just spidering the public tweet stream?

Most likely spidering; its difficult/expensive to get firehose access.

no, i just used streaming api to gather the data. you can crawl surprisingly more data with streaming api as opposed to regular api.
