Distinguish "promoted" tweets in Twitter #17

Closed ianroberts closed 11 months ago

ianroberts commented 1 year ago

Adds a promoted property to the JSON generated for a collected tweet, which is true if the tweet was "promoted" by Twitter (i.e. an advert inserted into the middle of a stream of search results or timeline tweets) or false if the tweet is a genuine search result or timeline item. This makes it possible to filter out the promoted adverts from the collected data and work just with tweets that actually matched your search terms.

Fixes #16
