Description

This function collects tweets by query string or strings between specified date ranges.

  bearer_token = get_bearer(),
  n = 100,
  file = NULL,
  data_path = NULL,
  export_query = TRUE,
  bind_tweets = TRUE,
  page_n = 500,
  context_annotations = FALSE,
  verbose = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

query	string or character vector, search query or queries
start_tweets	string, starting date
end_tweets	string, ending date
bearer_token	string, bearer token
n	integer, upper limit of tweets to be fetched
file	string, name of the resulting RDS file
data_path	string, if supplied, fetched data can be saved to the designated path as jsons
export_query	If TRUE, queries are exported to data_path
bind_tweets	If TRUE, tweets captured are bound into a data.frame for assignment
page_n	integer, amount of tweets to be returned by per page
context_annotations	If TRUE, context_annotations will be fetched. Note it will limit the page_n to 100 due restrictions of Twitter API.
verbose	If FALSE, query progress messages are suppressed
...	arguments will be passed to build_query() function. See ?build_query() for further information.

Details

The function can also collect tweets by users. These may be specified alongside a query string or without. When no query string is supplied, the function collects all tweets by that user.

If a filename is supplied, the function will save the result as a RDS file.

If a data path is supplied, the function will also return tweet-level data in a data/ path as a series of JSONs beginning "data_"; while user-level data will be returned as a series of JSONs beginning "users_".

Value

When bind_tweets is TRUE (default), the function returns a data frame. Nothing otherwise.
