Premium Twitter searches

Description

Search 30day or fullarchive premium products. There is a limit of 5000 tweets and 25000 for the fullarchive and 30day endpoints respectively. In addition, there are some limits in the number of requests that are possible on a certain amount of time, this have already been taken into account. See the info provided by Twitter and the "Developer Account" section.

Usage

search_fullarchive(
  q,
  n = 100,
  fromDate = NULL,
  toDate = NULL,
  continue = NULL,
  env_name = NULL,
  premium = FALSE,
  safedir = NULL,
  parse = TRUE,
  token = NULL
)

search_30day(
  q,
  n = 100,
  fromDate = NULL,
  toDate = NULL,
  env_name = NULL,
  continue = NULL,
  premium = FALSE,
  safedir = NULL,
  parse = TRUE,
  token = NULL
)

Arguments

q

Search query on which to match/filter tweets. See details for information about available search operators.

n

Desired number of results to return. Results are downloaded in pages when n is large; the default value will download a single page. Set n = Inf to download as many results as possible.

The Twitter API rate limits the number of requests you can perform in each 15 minute period. The easiest way to download more than that is to use retryonratelimit = TRUE.

You are not guaranteed to get exactly n results back. You will get fewer results when tweets have been deleted or if you hit a rate limit. You will get more results if you ask for a number of tweets that's not a multiple of page size, e.g. if you request n = 150 and the page size is 200, you'll get 200 results back.

fromDate

Oldest date-time (YYYYMMDDHHMM) from which tweets should be searched for.

toDate

Newest date-time (YYYYMMDDHHMM) from which tweets should be searched for.

continue

A character string with the next results of a query. You must make the exact same query as the original, including q, toDate, and fromDate.

env_name

Name/label of developer environment to use for the search.

premium

A logical value if the environment is paid (TRUE) or sandboxed, the default (FALSE). It limits the number of results retrieved so the number of API queries needed to retrieve n results.

safedir

Name of directory to which each response object should be saved. If the directory doesn't exist, it will be created. If NULL (the default) then a dir will be created in the current working directory. To override/deactivate safedir set this to FALSE.

parse

If TRUE, the default, returns a tidy data frame. Use FALSE to return the "raw" list corresponding to the JSON returned from the Twitter API.

token

Use this to override authentication for a single API call. In many cases you are better off changing the default for all calls. See auth_as() for details.

Details

Note: The env_name must match the ones you set up for the token you are using. [Deprecated]

Value

A tibble data frame of Twitter data.

Developer Account

Users must have an approved developer account and an active/labeled environment to access Twitter's premium APIs. For more information, to check your current Subscriptions and Dev Environments, or to apply for a developer account visit https://developer.twitter.com.
