Hello,
I’ve recently started using Twitter API for sentiment analysis and looking for help regarding the sandbox account subscription.
Could I retrieve the full twitter history using a sandbox account?
and why requests don’t reflect on the dashboard?!

You can retrieve any public tweet that hasn’t been deleted with the fullarchive endpoint if using the Sandbox level of access, but it’s limited to 50 calls returning a maximum of 100 tweets each, with calls resetting every month or so.

If requests are not counted in the dashboard you’re probably not getting a successful call, or using a different API - ie: Standard REST API which is limited in other ways, and only goes back 7 days.

I wouldn’t recommend using TwitterR as it’s no longer maintained and doesn’t support Premium APIs, and if using rTweet i’d recommend being very careful with calls as it has some bugs with Premium APIs search_fullarchive issues multiple requests for one individual request · Issue #347 · ropensci/rtweet · GitHub.

This is a better way to do it: Running the python package for search tweets in r | Twitter Developer Platform

Thanks a lot for your answer.
Will try the method you shared and see if it would reflect on my dashboard.
