A social media dataset is a structured collection of posts, comments, or other content gathered from platforms like Reddit, YouTube, GitHub, and more. Each dataset is pre-processed with enrichment fields such as sentiment scores, topic tags, engagement signals, and financial indicators — ready for AI training, research, or analytics.

Browse the catalog, click any dataset to preview its schema, then hit "Download Sample" for a free 100-row preview. To download the full dataset, create a free account — datasets under 10K rows are free; larger datasets require an Individual purchase from $18 or a Pro plan.

Datasets are collected as static snapshots and remain available permanently. We do not automatically refresh datasets — once collected, the data is yours to access as-is. Each dataset may indicate its original collection cadence (weekly, daily, etc.) but is delivered as a permanent individual purchase.

All datasets are available in CSV, JSON, JSONL, and Parquet formats. Choose your preferred format at download time.

Yes. Submit a custom dataset request and we'll collect, clean, and deliver data from virtually any public platform. Turnaround is typically 1-3 days.

Use the custom dataset request form to specify platforms, keywords, date ranges, and enrichment fields. We collect, validate, and enrich the data, then deliver it to your account. Pro users get unlimited custom datasets at no extra charge. Individual purchases start at $18 for datasets under 10K rows.

Platforms with explicit TOS prohibitions against automated access (Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, etc.) are available in our existing catalog but cannot be requested as custom datasets. See our Legality page for the full platform breakdown.

Every dataset passes through a multi-layer quality pipeline — from collection to delivery. This includes 25+ deterministic enrichment checks, 17 structural fixes, and 4 deduplication strategies. You can verify quality before purchasing by downloading a free sample (up to 10K rows with a free account) or previewing the schema from any catalog card.

Use the Feedback page to submit a bug report — select "Bug Report" as the category and describe the issue. We review all reports and will fix or re-collect datasets that are materially different from the agreed specifications.

Downloads are instant — we serve files directly from our CDN with no pre-generation or queuing. Simply request a download and the file begins streaming immediately. Downloads are resumable if interrupted.

We offer 250+ data fields across 19 enrichment groups including enriched fields (sentiment, emotion, topics, entities, bias) and raw metadata (identifiers, timestamps, engagement metrics). Categories include: Core, Sentiment & Quality, Financial, Jobs & Career, Content Classification, Technical, and Video fields.

Our enrichment pipeline uses deterministic algorithms for sentiment (positive/negative/neutral), sentiment scores (0-1), confidence levels, primary emotions, sarcasm flags, and subjectivity scores across all text content.

We detect ticker mentions, financial signals (bullish/bearish), price targets, FUD/FOMO patterns, volatility signals, and due diligence markers. This covers crypto, stocks, and traditional finance across all platforms.

Absolutely. When using the custom dataset request form, you can select exactly which enrichment fields you need. You can also filter by specific columns when downloading via the API using the ?fields[] parameter.

Datasets are offered under one of four license types: Social Intel Commercial v1 (default for catalog datasets), CC BY 4.0, CC BY-NC 4.0, or Sample license. Each catalog card shows the applicable license. See our Dataset License page for full terms. Redistribution of raw data is not permitted under any license.

All 250+ enrichment fields use a deterministic pipeline — heuristic and lexicon-based algorithms running on our servers. No external API calls, no ML models with unpredictable output. This means results are fully reproducible, have zero latency per post (under 1ms), and never incur external API costs.
