search_tweets error

[jerive31]

Hi,

I've been trying to use the template to retrieve data and text from Twitter but continue to encounter an error when trying to run the search_tweets function. I'm new to R and perhaps this has a simple solution, but I tried searching and haven't found anything particularly helpful and decided to pursue this option. Hope someone out there can help and thanks in advance. I'm running R 3.5 if that helps.

search for 18000 tweets using the rstats hashtag

mytweets <- search_tweets("#rstats", n = 18000, include_rts = FALSE)

Error in $<-.data.frame(*tmp*, "reset", value = NAcharacter) : replacement has 1 row, data has 0

Hello! I have the same issue. The traceback is the following

10: stop(sprintf(ngettext(N, "replacement has %d row, data has %d", "replacement has %d rows, data has %d"), N, nrows), domain = NA) 9: $<-.data.frame(*tmp*, "reset", value = NAcharacter) 8: $<-(*tmp*, "reset", value = NAcharacter) 7: .rl_df(r) 6: ratelimit(token, query, parse) 5: rate_limit.default(token, "search/tweets") 4: rate_limit(token, "search/tweets") 3: searchtweets(q = "#rstats", n = 2000, type = "recent", include_rts = TRUE, geocode = NULL, max_id = NULL, parse = TRUE, token = , retryonratelimit = TRUE, verbose = TRUE, since = 17680, until = 17681) 2: do.call("searchtweets", args) 1: rtweet::search_tweets(query_aux, n = 2000, token = token, since = search_date - 1, until = search_date, retryonratelimit = T)

Something has definitely changed. Scripts that were working fine yesterday morning are now failing with this error.

Has Twitter made a change to the API?

Ditto. Broken. lookup_users still works, but get_timeline and get_favorites fail as above, which suggests problem is API related.

I re-created the app and token but it didn't help, I get the exact same error. cc @stephlocke

Twitter is having API issues right now https://twittercommunity.com/t/application-rate-limit-status-broken/106429/3

[diplodata]

Twitter say "We’ve rolled back the change, and will monitor for further issues in this area". API is still down for me however. Has anyone got their apps working again?

My script ran normally this morning. It uses get_timeline and search_tweets. Both seem to work fine again.

Edit: Also just tried it on my Windows machine. The other script runs on Linux. Seems to be fixed for me.

timeline functions are still busted for me but the search works
