In kateto/PolitwoopsR: Download Deleted Political Tweets From The Politwoops Project

Description

This function downloads and combines json files from any of the countries participating in the Politwoops project (defaults to the US).

Usage

get_pw_tweets(start.page = 1, end.page = "all", domain = NULL,
  json.ext = NULL)

Arguments

start.page	The first json page to get - defaults to page 1.
end.page	The last json page to get - defaults to the last available page.
domain	The domain for the politwoops project of interest (do not include "http://"). Defaults to the US domain (politwoops.sunlightfoundation.com). For a list of other countries, see http://politwoops.com/countries.
json.ext	The last part of the URL that points to the country JSON pages - defaults to "/index.json?page=" which seems to be correct for some countris (including the US and UK) but not others. Future versions of this package will automate identifying this extension.
