Thank you so much Dr Landers. This are really helpful. I hope you get to come and give a talk at my university (UMDCP)

Thank you for putting this course online. It's been a great resources while learning R. I wanted to ask if you have any suggestions on pulling Tweets to R since the changes to the API and the removal of the academic research plan. I know some people are suggesting web scraping, but I would be grateful for your suggestions.

Manual scraping with a browser automation solution (like Selenium) is unfortunately the only option at this point. In the current version of the course (which I'm recording now for YT), I switched this over to Reddit, since their API is still open for research.
