CSV output #172

Closed edsu closed 6 years ago

edsu commented 7 years ago

When outputting tweets it would be useful to have the CSV option in the command itself. Something like:

twarc search blacklivesmatter --output csv > tweets.csv

The downside is that this would result in data loss since not everything makes it into the CSV. But perhaps this is something some researchers are willing to live with? At the moment it is a bit clunky constantly referring people to json2csv.py but perhaps this isn't too much of a hardship?

If anyone has an opinion I'd love to hear it.
