Question about scraping multiple users from a list

[angelaaaateng]

Hi! Thanks for your super helpful Jupyter Notebook and Medium tutorial. Really appreciate the time and effort you put into this! Quick question, how do you scrape multiple users in a list? I would ideally like to iterate through a list of usernames and use your code below:

`# Using TwitterSearchScraper to scrape data and append tweets to list
for i,tweet in enumerate(sntwitter.TwitterSearchScraper('from:jack').get_items()):
    if i>maxTweets:
        break
    tweets_list1.append([tweet.date, tweet.id, tweet.content, tweet.user.username])`

I tried to iterate through my list like below, but I think I'm doing something wrong.

list = [user1, user 2, user3....]
i = 0
for i, tweet in enumerate(sntwitter.TwitterSearchScraper('from:list[i]').get_items()):

Would appreciate any advice! Thank you :)

Hey,

With for loops you have to consider how you're applying a function or process. In this one, you're trying to scrape tweets for each user in that list. So it would actually look something like this

list = [user1, user 2, user3....]

for user in list:
     for i, tweet in enumerate(sntwitter.TwitterSearchScraper(f"from:{user}").get_items()): ....

So essentially what's happening is for each user in your list you want to pull all these tweets.

I also personally use f string for modifying strings it's used commonly for its speed and I think makes it easier to format string since you're inputting the variable directly. Anyways, f strings normally look like the below

f"{variable_name}"
So for example you can do something fancy like

user = 'Martin'
formatted_string = f"hello {user}"

print(formatted_string)

Output: hello Martin

Let me know if this makes sense.
