R - Twitter Mining with R (part 1)

Twitter Mining with R part 1 takes you through setting up a connection with Twitter. This requires a couple packages you will need to install, and creating a Twitter application, which needs to be authorized in R before you can access tweets. We quickly go through this entire process which may take some flexibility on your part so be patient and be ready troubleshoot as details change with updates.
Warning: You are going to face challenges setting up the twitter API connection. The steps for this part have been known to change slightly over time for a variety of reasons. Follow the general steps and expect a few errors along the way which you will have to troubleshoot. It is hard to solve these issues remotely from where I am.

Is it possible to export tweets in text form

[@vikasraina1396]

i have followed the steps mentioned in the video,but i am getting an error message as Error: could not find function "setup_twitter_oauth"

[@vivekmangipudi3773]

vikas raina Ensure that you have "twitteR" "tm" "RCurl" "httr" packages installed and loaded. setup_twitter_oauth" happens to be a part of the first package. Hope that helps!!

[@priyankaasthana9158]

Error in check_twitter_oauth() : OAuth authentication error: This most likely means that you have incorrectly called setup_twitter_oauth()' how to remove this error

[@umangarora2067]

package ‘twitterR’ is not available (for R version 4.0.0)

[@samirtahan7705]

Hi i am using this for my dissertation! I am really new to this and have followed the first steps but it is saying that the function "install.package" could not be found! any advice?!

[@rakeshramesh9248]

for me it freezes in using direct authentication it does not go past that. pls help

[@luispoveda4366]

Muy buen video, muchas gracias.

[@sobo5476]

Thanks only thing I found different was when installing the packages rather than typing install.package you would go to packages at the top of R and select Install Packages and find it it in the list.

[@jemlifathi]

hi, please wich version of R you are using ? because i got this : >install.packages("twitterR") Warning in install.packages : package ‘twitterR’ is not available (for R version 3.0.0) the same error even using R 3.1.2

[@pranavsuri]

+Jemli Fathi The name of the package is 'twitteR' (you added 2 Rs in the end).

[@wandering_Soul1111]

Nice video, but how can I get the number of tweets that mentioned a word "X", without retrieving the tweets?

[@rdjalayer]

Hana Anber check the help file for searchTwitter, help(searchTwitter), from what I understand you do not have access to all tweets on twitter, so this may not be the way to achieve what you what.

[@wandering_Soul1111]

Jalayer Academy Thank you

[@riccardocolnaghi6555]

How can I select tweets of a specific range of time? For instance tweets for LFC from Genuary 2014 till December 2016. Is that possible? Thank you very much!

[@mohitgarg5509]

Thank you for the wonderful lecture... I am facing one problem.. I am not able to download all tweets.. I am doing this tweet_data

[@adewolekayode6148]

Error: package 'twitterR' is not available (for version 3.0.2). Please what is the solution?

[@techsmart-v1]

Hi. i'm having this error message: Adding .httr-oauth to .gitignore Error in check_twitter_oauth() : OAuth authentication error: This most likely means that you have incorrectly called setup_twitter_oauth()' at the selection aspect when I selected 1. What do I do.

[@TheTimelessFate]

nosakhare osaigbovo @Jalayer Academy : Same issue !! What do we do :(

[@rdjalayer]

Rahul Chawla getting this authorization seems to be the biggest hurdle, there are many complications that may be occurring, be sure to setup the twitter API before doing any of this and getting the codes necessary

[@techsmart-v1]

Thank you. I spoke to a someone from a university and he said twitter updates their API regularly and also their are restrictions on the use of tweets presently. Anyways, thank you so much.

[@vizline]

nosakhare osaigbovo I finally solved this problem. There has been an update of package httr - that makes this command end with error. You have to uninstall the httr package, install the 0.6 version (cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/httr/), restart RStudio... and everything will be working then!

[@lukethegreat101]

+vizline If I could virtually hug you, I would. THANK YOU!!!!

[@edorlando7070]

In the following code, we are converting the list into a vector. However, we are only getting one column of information, in this case, the getText portion. How would i set this up to get multiple columns, for example, getScreenName, getId, etc. #Converts list to vector. In Other words, it only gets the Text #portion of the tweets for each of the rows LFC_text

[@zkcbnwmh2641]

Hi, I was trying to collect all tweets without any keyword or hashtag and later will I classify all the tweets. Is it possible to do it in R? I was told that we can use the star sign * for the searchString to collect all tweets within specific limit. So I used the command rtwt rtwt

[@Fitrifitri-hq8yi]

1. when a Twitter user post tweet longer than 140, can R obtain them in full or just the 140 character? 2. can I use R for obtaining a tweet's quote tweet? thanks for the reply.

[@annaegosz9481]

hi! Have you found an answer for question 1? I would be pleased if you could tell me how to extract tweets longer than 140.

[@RedWarrior1991]

Thank you so much!

[@roroba]

HI! great video! how can i make restriction in the search twitter by location or country??

[@abhi09sat]

Excellent Video, Thank you @Jalayer Academy I am getting this error on rStudio 3.2.2 LFS_tweets = searchTwitter("LFS", n= 10, lang = "en") Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called ‘base64enc’ please help

[@roderik27182]

i have this error: Error: couldn't find function "setup_twitter_oauth". Could you help me?

[@ChelseaPhonix]

I found just regenerate the tokens from website, autentication issue solved for me.

[@distractos]

I fixed the "Error in check_twitter_oauth() : OAuth authentication error: This most likely means that you have incorrectly called setup_twitter_oauth()' So what happened was after i installed the base64enc, twitteR, devtools, and RCurl, and required them, i was still having problems with this error. Turns out, there was a hyphen on my Access Token that i removed thinking that twitter added that to save space. Thats not the case, it is REQUIRED!!! So once i added the hyphen, it worked perfectly!

[@jonathanaguirre7846]

thanks for the video. I had tried this with jsonlite/httr and I got a dimensions error. I'm new to R so google brought me here.
