get_tweets_fast: Twitter-data retrieval (fast)

In magnusfurugard/tweetDumpR: Get tweets without restrictions

Description

This function grabs as much data as it can as quickly as it can. This is the fast version of the function which parses the entire tweet page in one go. We are able to do this by ignoring uncertain bits of a tweet. This means skipping things like hashtag extraction, image url extraction and retweet-history.

Usage

get_tweets_fast(username, pages = 1)

Arguments

username	The name of the twitter follower you wish to lookup.
pages	The number of tweet pages you want to retrieve. About 20 tweets per page.

Value

Returns a tibble containing tweet-data for the specified used.

Examples

get_tweets_fast(username = 'hadleywickham', pages = 5)
