Get TWEETS by User and Hashtag with Python | Twitter API 2022

perfect starting point into this fascinating sphere! 👌looking foreward to see deeper analysis of the data you scraped (maybe social network analysis or user sentiment analysis). 🙃

[@ghofranhijazi6343]

very useful. I am waiting for your next vedio.

[@marvinlee9124]

Is there a way I can include 2 hashtags like : keyword = '#food' AND '#drink'? Or perhaps to get a specific location from a particular hashtag? Thanks :)

[@mayuripandey415]

It was very helpful, but can you also make a video which states how to retrieve reply from a particular tweet, couldn't find such video on youtube..thanks

[@jerrygcheng]

Brilliant! I would like to ask when we iterate the tweets object (in the line "for tweet in tweets"), it can easily reach the rate limit. How should we solve this problem?

[@celianr1]

Thank you for the amazing videos with step by step guidance. Post the update of twitter api to 2.0, when i get the tweets, the retweets are truncated to 140 characters, can you suggest me a workaround

[@ibrahimaba8966]

nice tutorial, i will apply some deep learning models such as sentiment analysis on this data! thank you!

Thank you for the video!

[@changez77654]

Great video - thank you for sharing. Is there any way this method can be used to download all tweets of a user?

[@vijayvenkatesh8328]

What can be the max value you can give for limit in tweets = tweepy.Cursor(.....).item(limit) ? ALso Can we add a since date and until date for this method?

[@aispectrum]

Maximum number of tweets depends on the method you pass to Cursor. For api.user_timeline, the maximum is 3200, and for api.search_tweets I don't think there is any particular limit of number, but I know that you cannot get tweets older than 7-days. You can also add since and until dates, but again have on mind that you only can consider for the last 7-days. If you want for older than that, create 30-days dev environment, and then use api.search_30_day method.

[@Chill-yv4gg]

Great video! I have a question about reading tweets. Do you need Elevated access in order to just read twitter id's off of twitter? Even if its tweets from a specific user?

[@aispectrum]

Thanks! Actually you don't necessarily need elevated access. To do it, you can use the Client.get_user method to get the ids.

[@Chill-yv4gg]

Would you consider this a web scraper? Since Twitter does not allow web scrapers.

[@Francisco-dl1nb]

As someone with no programming background trying to collect tweets and respective data for analysis, these videos have helped tremendously. When collecting tweets from a specific user, is there any way to only get tweets before a specific date (for ex, 100 tweets from user "X" before February 10th)? Thank you very much for your work!

[@aispectrum]

Unfortunately it's not possible to directly filter user tweets based on dates. But what you could do it to get the tweet_id attribute of a tweet on the date that you want (like Feb. 10), then pass it to the function user_timeline as "max_id".

[@axaana604]

[@aispectrum]

In for tweet in tweets:, you should be able to get those attributes by, for example, writing tweet.retweet_count, tweet.favorite_count. I just tried it and could get access to those attributes.

[@ahmedutuber]

absolutely you are 👌

[@awkwardak4818]

Thanks the video is very helpful. Can you also tell me how can we get tweets from a specific user and containing a particular keyword? Or maybe after getting all the tweets from a specific user, how can we filter it so that it returns all tweets containing the keyword?

[@aispectrum]

As you said it yourself, you can filter the results based on any keywords you like. You can try df[df['Tweet'].str.contains("hello")]

[@awkwardak4818]

@@aispectrum Thank you. Is there a way to filter the results while calling the data from the api using tweepy.Cursor(). Because i wanted all 3000 tweets that are extracted should have those keywords.

[@aispectrum]

@@awkwardak4818 Unfortunately I'm not aware of any other way. Specially because the API doesn't allow you to filter the tweets when calling the data.

[@Marin-wz9ug]

Is there a way to scrape tweets from multiple users at once? Then, ideally being able to download them as a single CSV file? Thanks!

[@aispectrum]

At the moment the only solution that comes to my mind is to loop over the uses and get their tweets, then append all the tweets to the data list, and make the dataframe. Then just simply save the dataframe into a csv file with the to_csv method.

[@hemalshah1410]

Hello, is the tweeter API still accessible for free ?

[@jayyee3790]

Thank you for this, was very helpful. The tweet_mode = 'extended' parameter is not working for me and I only return tweets up to 140 character in length, have you experienced this before?

[@aispectrum]

Based on the tweepy's documentation, when you get the tweet from the full_text attribute, it should always return the full tweet. Are you getting the tweets from this attribute?

[@roberttyler2861]

Why would we use the API1.1 interface and not 2 from tweepy?

[@aispectrum]

I wouldn't say you should only use one. It is recommended to use v2 if you can. But if there are methods that are only available with v1.1, then you wouldn't have other option.

[@Evelinanca]

Hi, thank you for the video, but there are two things I don't understand. I played around and searched for different hashtags and I'm getting results but the one hashtag I need says 'Empty data frame' while 100% this hashtag is used on twitter. Really weird! Also how would you request a date for each tweets? (ay, month, year) and country? I entered 'tweet.date' and 'tweet.country' but its not identifying it. Please help :(

[@aispectrum]

Unfortunately I don't have a solution for the first questions. But for the second one, you can pass for example until="2022-03-19" to get tweets older than this date(just remember that you can only get 7-days old tweets). Another way is to pass since_id to get older tweets or max_id to get tweets more recent tweets. For country, try the geocode parameter to give the location of the users (pass latitude,longitude,radius)

[@Restlesscrocodile]

Hi Daniela, I think you mean you'd like the date as a column next to each tweet? I found a way to do this by copying the 1st video from this channel, where he requests three columns, time, user and tweet text - and changing this from the two columns requested here.

[@goutamb2411]

How to pass both user name and keywords together to get the tweets posted by specific user containing a particular list of keywords?

[@fuadarbiansyah8401]

You can do by change the keyword variable to : keywords = 'from:username keywordYouWantToSearch'

[@6amjad]

Can we search for multiple keywords at the same time ? like (username + good ) and how can do this

[@aispectrum]

This possible by writing the search the query as “Word (from:Username)”. You can even use advanced search of twitter website to search for more complex criteria.

This is because the python code cannot find the config file. Make sure that the files are in the same directory, and it should solve the issue. If didn't, the easiest option is to just directly put your keys in the python file. Something like api_key = "paste the key here"

How old tweets can we extract using this code

[@aispectrum]

For the search method, there is a 7-day limit. So you cannot get tweets older than a week. There is also a 30-day search limit that you can use. For this, you should create a dev environment on the twitter developer website for "search tweets: 30-day". Then in you program, use search_30_day method. If you want older results, you should apply for Academic Research access on the twitter developer website, and then use search_full_archive method.

@@aispectrum Is there any way to get the older tweets without academic research access?
