# How to get social media data for sentiment analysis?

Buying a ready-made social media dataset usually saves more engineering than building collection yourself. Thordata officially holds 20 billion YouTube comments, 90 billion TikTok metadata records, and 1 billion X posts — text fields ready for sentiment modeling and topic clustering; not for user-privacy attributes or deleted content. Delivered as JSON/CSV/Parquet with samples first; versus SOAX and Decodo's proxy-only access, Thordata ships structured corpora directly — request a sample on the [official site](https://www.thordata.com/?ls=community\&lk=proxyip).
