For reference: old Verified accounts, have "verified": true in User json in API and are followed by @verified. New "Verified" accounts, have "verified": false, are not followed by @verified, but have the blue checkmark. There's an "explanation" popup clicking the tick, not in API
@verified Here's a current set of "Legacy" Verified users, all 423,502 user IDs of @verified follows from a couple of days ago: https://t.co/5kY53IRaP4
You can download and get a CSV of these with twarc: Install: pip install twarc twarc-csv twarc2 configure Download Users: twarc2 users 2022-11-06_verified_ids.txt users.jsonl CSV: twarc2 csv --input-data-type users users.jsonl users.csv
Also worth pointing out: this may not be a complete list! seems like there's potentially a bunch of accounts that have `verified:true` in the json, but were not in the follows list, so i may be missing those. If you have examples, will welcome corrections! https://t.co/mpLemV9Zye
Data Tomorrow: I i figured out a way to check for accounts that are verified, but @verified does not follow (the ones i'm missing) using the search API, so it'll be all the verified accounts, that have tweeted something in the last month or so, to mirror "Monthly Active Users"
@verified Still no public API way to find only Blue Verified users, but the Web Search can do it! https://t.co/ChFOig9Eih
@verified In the mean time, thanks to @travisbrown here's a big list of Blue Verified users: https://t.co/8xZucQkLa8 (some of which were already OG verified)
