user_by_username: Search users by username

In rtweet: Collecting Twitter Data

Search users by username

Description

Looks up users by their username.

Usage

user_by_username(
  username,
  expansions = NULL,
  fields = NULL,
  ...,
  token = NULL,
  parse = TRUE,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

username	A user name string or up to 100.
expansions	Set NULL to not use any expansion, set NA to get all expansions, or provide a vector with the expansions you want (create it with set_expansions()).
fields	Set NULL to not use any field, get all allowed fields with NA, provide a list with the fields you want (create it with set_fields()).
...	Other arguments passed to the API.
token	These endpoints only accept a bearer token (can be created via rtweet_app()). In most cases you are better of changing the default for all calls via auth_as().
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.
verbose	A logical value to provide more information about paginated queries.
