Hello,

Is it possible to get the number of likes in each tweet? It is very useful to visualize the top tweets for a certain hashtag.

Thank you very much!

According to the readme, using the tweet model, you can get retrieve the amount of favorites (likes) as an integer.

Example:

# Example 2 - Get tweets by query search
tweetCriteria = got.manager.TweetCriteria().setQuerySearch('covid19').setSince("2020-01-01").setUntil("2020-04-20").setLang('en').setMaxTweets(1)

tweet = got.manager.TweetManager.getTweets(tweetCriteria)[0]
print(tweet.favorites)

Also, you can store the amount of likes for each tweet, and order them from most liked to least liked to visualize the top tweets. You can do the same for other variables from the tweet model such as retweets.
