safe_get_timelines: Safely sample Twitter user timelines
In alexpghayes/socialsampler: Tools to facilitate sampling Twitter data

Description Usage Arguments Details Value

safe_get_timelines() is a drop-in replacement for rtweet::get_timelines() that automatically respects Twitter API rate limits and coordinates use of multiple Twitter access tokens that have been registered with register_token(). At the moment you can only request the friends list of 15 or fewer users in a single call.

1	safe_get_timelines(user, n = 100, max_id = NULL, home = FALSE, attempts = 5)

`user`	Vector of user names, user IDs, or a mixture of both.
`n`	Number of tweets to return per timeline. Defaults to 100. Must be of length 1 or equal to length of user. This number should not exceed 3200 as Twitter limits returns to the most recent 3,200 statuses posted or retweeted by each user.
`max_id`	Character, returns results with an ID less than (that is, older than) or equal to 'max_id'.
`home`	Logical, indicating whether to return a user-timeline or home-timeline. By default, home is set to FALSE, which means `get_timeline` returns tweets posted by the given user. To return a user's home timeline feed, that is, the tweets posted by accounts followed by a user, set home to TRUE.
`attempts`	How many times should we attempt to access the Twitter API before giving up? Defaults to 5.

If no tokens have been registered with socialsampler, safe_get_timelines() will look for a token registered with rtweet and use that token instead, again automatically respecting rate limits. If no tokens have been registered with either socialsampler or rtweet, you'll get an error.

A tbl data frame of tweets data with users data attribute.
