Twitter Tool #2

Closed ThomasThelen closed 2 years ago

ThomasThelen commented 2 years ago

Create a python application that accepts a user entering a twitter hashtag (wihout the #). Use tweepy to output the number of tweets with that hashtag from the last 24 hours and write the tweets to a text file. You could imagine a researcher using the text file to feed data to a model. Tweepy has a nice community and discord server for questions, but feel free to ask them here too.

Not to familiar with twitter. Is the '#' just a search keyword? im looking through the tweepy API doc and not seeing much about that. only really seeing search tweets

Right- hash fragments in Twitter are kind of like a way to add keywords to a tweet-so essentially just a search. You should find some good information here. If it's a bit too confusing feel free to move onto the next issue
