Hello everyone! I am trying to identify all twitter account names for a list of US-based universities. I originally planned to use lookup_users() function in R by identifying the key words (e.g., “University of Georgia”, “Emory University”, etc). However, it does not return anything (I assume it is because of a different account name that is not exactly matching the school name). Does anyone have suggestions on how to extract Twitter account names for a specific list of schools? Thank you so much!
I would see if anyone else curated any datasets or lists of users. Unfortunately the user search API isn’t great. You could try some manual searches on Twitter.com I guess, depending on how many accounts you’re looking for.
That makes sense! Thank you so much for your response.
