How to retrieve Twitter username with UUID












2












$begingroup$


I am trying to analyze FakeNewsNet which is a dataset for Social Network Analysis.



There are UUID(?)s of users in the dataset but I am sure how to retrieve metadata from it.



Can someone explain to me where I can find the information on how to use user_id of User.txt?



Is it even possible to retrieve the metadata of a user with this id? (may using Twitter Search API)

          It is not possible with the current version of the dataset, the User.txt ids are hashed. But, the pre-processed features are in UserFeature.mat which you can load with something like



          import scipy.io
          mat = scipy.io.loadmat('UserFeature.mat')


          mat['X'][0] will then be the feature vector for the first user id in the text file.



          There are no descriptions of the feature names either (or at least I didn't find any)
