Tweepy VS getting-started-with-the-twitter-api-v2-for-academic-research

How is this much different than what tweepy does?

There are plenty of open source modules you can use, such as tweepy, which will make it a lot easier for you.

I chose Python as a language to handle the streaming, because a) it’s the language I’m strongest in, and b) because of tweepy.

· Tweepy. An easy-to-use Python library for accessing the Twitter API.

As announced in this blog post, the Twitter API v2 supports the ability to get metadata about edited Tweets. In this short guide, I will showcase how developers and researchers can get information about edited Tweets from the Twitter API v2 in Python using Tweepy.

In this tutorial, we will configure AWS CodePipeline to build an ECR image and deploy the latest version to lambda container. The application code will stream tweets using Tweepy, a Python library for accessing the Twitter API. First we need to setup CodePipeline and the various stages to deploy application code to lambda image which will stream tweets when invoked. The intended devops architecture is as below.

That means you need a requirements.txt file in your repo somewhere, and it needs to list the dependencies for your project. A good way of knowing what the dependencies are is to check what you imported at the beginning of your python file. For my bots, I need Tweepy, config, and Python-dotenv Requirements.txt looks like this for Divas, my Twitter Bot Collection.

you can easily make a simple script with tweepy that scrapes the data and puts it into whatever file you need

In order to use the Twitter API v2, you need to apply for a Twitter developer account. Once you have an approved Twitter developer account, follow the instruction here to obtain your BEARER TOKEN that you will use to connect to the Twitter API v2 in you code in Python. We will be using the Tweepy package in Python to get images from the Twitter API v2, so you will need to have Python as well as the Tweepy package installed on your machine. Instructions on installing the Tweepy package can be found in this tutorial.

Sometimes professors don't want their students spending too much time writing code to get Twitter data using the API. Twitter recently launched the Downloader tool that lets researchers specify the search query for which they want the data, the time period and the format in which they would like the data i.e. JSON or CSV. Once specified, they can download the data and use for their assignments and projects. Learn more about how to write search queries here

In June, we launched a comprehensive course on getting started with the Twitter API v2 for academic research. This course is available for free and contains content, cheatsheets and code samples in Python and R to help academics learn how to get the Twitter data for research studies using the Twitter API. Since its launch, this course has been adopted as a prerequisite model by various professors who teach courses on computational social sciences, text mining etc.

In order to search Tweets from the last 7 days, you can use the search_recent_tweets function available in Tweepy. You will have to pass it a search query to specify the data that you are looking for. In the example below, we are searching for Tweets from the last days from the Twitter handle suhemparack and we are excluding retweets using -is:retweet.

In order to follow this tutorial, you need an approved Twitter developer account. Once you have a developer account, you will need a bearer token to connect to the Twitter API v2 to get the Tweets. Follow these instructions for obtaining a bearer token.
