You could put your meta data in a database and let people have some options for selecting a subset for, then, just downloading Tweet IDs.

I made a similar suggestion on another thread here:

Replying to @jasonbaumgartne
how about instead of providing the metadata with tweet IDs, you provide a queryable API filtering on the metadata on your end? you can share only tweet IDs from the resulting query made to said API. this wouldn't require an approval from Twitter either since no metadata is shared
