That would be a big improvement...

Cornelius Puschmann @cbpuschmann.bsky.social · Jul 23

Yes, that was also my understanding. For the life of me I don't understand why this kind of content (public posts) has to be this enclaved.

Hi everyone, is anyone using the Meta Content Library API? I am specifically interested in getting in touch with people with API access, rather than access to the frontend only. transparency.meta.com/de-de/resear...

Why do people search for individual politicians? Because they (don't) like them. In a new paper we find sympathy/antipathy to be important predictors of political information seeking. We also find searches for female politicians more often concerned with appearance & family. doi.org/10.1177/1461...

This is still very early stage, in addition to mostly being a wrapper around the excellent tidyllm package (github.com/edubruell/ti...) but do let me know if you have feedback.

Are you doing standardized content analysis with LLMs, but wrestling with parsing JSON and getting consistent responses? We've written a light-weight R package to simplify the process of using both commercial proprietary APIs and open-source alternatives: github.com/cbpuschmann/...
