Abstract
Technological advances have made it possible for areas such as Corpus Linguistics and Computational Linguistics to advance exponentially. However, the basic evolution followed by corpora, as an essential tool in these areas, has been fundamentally in size. Proof of this is the Google nGram project, which has digitized a vast number of books from 1505 to the present day, allowing studies to be carried out on corpora. However, and as a result of the continuous evolution of new communication media and social networks, we have witnessed the birth of a new genre, called cyber-language, situated between orality and textuality, of which there are no specialized corpora. Our proposal is to design a tool to create a large multidimensional corpus based on the social network Twitter and a set of specific tools to generate subcorpora, conduct quantitative studies and visualize the stored information, from the perspective of bigdata manipulation.

An API is a set of commands, functions, protocols, and objects that programmers can use to create software or interact with an external system. It provides developers with standard commands for performing common operations, thus they do not have to write the code from scratch.
