Two Questions:
-
X.list <- searchTwitter(’#X’, n=1500, since=‘2014-08-26’, until=‘2014-09-02’, cainfo=“cacert.pem”)
X.df = twListToDF(X.list)
write.csv(X.df, file=’/Users/blabla/Desktop/X.csv’, row.names=F)
-----> Warning message:
In doRppAPICall(“search/tweets”, n, params = params, retryOnRateLimit = retryOnRateLimit, :
1500 tweets were requested but the API can only return 166 ------
Why does this not bring the entire list of tweets from 2014-08-26 till 09-02 (Search API has a week limit)? I will get a different set and more data by searching day to day, i.e.
X.list <- searchTwitter(’#X’, n=1500, since=‘2014-08-26’, until=‘2014-08-27’, cainfo=“cacert.pem”)
X.df = twListToDF(X.list)
write.csv(X.df, file=’/Users/blabla/Desktop/X.csv’, row.names=F)
— which would return me 200 tweets—
How can I make Rstudio return me an exhaustive list of tweets over the search period? I’m aware of the restrictions but how can I return as many as possible over the time frame.
- How can I have multiple queries in my search? For example I want all the tweets about King’s College London: hashtags, @ and usual words.
KCL.list <- searchTwitter(‘kings college london OR #kingscollegelondon or @kingscollegelondon’, n=1000, since=‘2014-08-26’, until=‘2014-08-27’, cainfo=“cacert.pem”)
I’m beginner to Twitter and R so sorry if these questions are juvenile! Please help… I couldn’t find any information on these after researching…
