This is fantastic, thank you for taking the time to share this!

I really appreciate this, much thanks for putting this out there! :) May I please request that you shoot videos in the future perhaps with the Cobalt package in R, the white and black don't fare well with my dyslexia. Different colour schemes and closer-up windows also make for less visual stress. Of course, this is for Augusta so I understand either way and am grateful just to have access to this.

Professor Cook - can you copy/paste all that code into the above description you executed?

Thank you for this video. But I can download historical tweets from a previous timeline? Can you please share codes of collecting historical tweets from an specific timeline?

Hi James, That’s a great explanation, I have an issue in getting code using twitteR, rtweet against v2 API. With twitteR I get an error, OAuth error, incorrectly called setup_twitter_oauth. With rtweet, i get a 0 value. Almost stuck and frustrated for 3 days now. It’s not hard but I don’t get what’s wrong. Though online platforms solutions didn’t help me. Would you be able to help ?

Hello! Thanks for writing in. The package twitteR has not been as reliable in use lately as rtweet. I just ran some rtweet scripts to check and verify that they still work (Twitter can always change an API in ways that temporarily break R packages) -- and for me they do, which suggests that this program may be local for you (or it may be based on the uniqueness of your script). If you'd like, feel free to send a script to me at [e-mail] over email. One simple question: with authorization, rtweet generates a pop-up window. Have you checked to make sure that you haven't blocked pop-up windows in the browser you're using?

to do this, you'd need to apply for special privileges at developer.twitter.com.
