Experimenting with the Twitter API this afternoon for a personal project and I'm super fascinated by the contextual data you can pull off the v2 API...
Journalist is a contextual domain of which...apparently... the prototypical entity is @andersoncooper
Some tweets get scraped for context and some don't. And I'm not sure why? @chiquiesteban's tweet looking for a digital cartographer doesn't have `context_annotations`, but @jeremybowers Retweet of that tweet gets 4 entity's attached to it.
I interact with many journalists on my timeline... but fascinating to see which names are officially part of Twitter's dataset of entities with type Journalist, including @emilybell, @jayrosen_nyu, @MikeIsaac, @sarafischer who seems to be mislabeled as @sarahd for some reason.
And it is interesting to see that sometimes things are recognized inside their "context_annocations" while others it is in both `context_annotations` and `entities.annotations`
For the curious, Twitter's API setup is easy & they have a Postman collection to get you set up quick: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/tweets/lookup/quick-start
I looked up User Lookup > User by Username
& then
Timelines > User Tweet timeline by ID
If the user is an entity, it will show on their tweets.
