Hi there,

I wonder if there is a way that can help me recover the tweets that I paid for. I paid for access to the Twitter Full-Archive API and obtained the tweets using the rtweet package in R. Since my computer power is limited and the data I was trying to obtain was too large in size, my R crashed and I, unfortunately, lost the dataset. However, I still have the rds files generated by the rtweet search_fullarchive function which contain the tweet IDs. Is it possible to recover the lost dataset? Thanks

Sure, you can use the GET statuses/lookup | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform endpoint to “hydrate” the tweet ids.

In future, i recommend using GitHub - DocNow/twarc: A command line tool (and Python library) for archiving Twitter JSON twarc as a command line tool to retrieve tweet data that you can import into R for analysis.

R also has some issues with paid premium that causes you to use significantly more calls than necessary: Twitter premium API provides only 100 tweets per request even though limit should be 500 - #3 by IgorBrigadir
