20 Tweets per sub-period #309

Open romit-actuarial opened 4 years ago

romit-actuarial commented 4 years ago

After multiple runs, the algorithm just generated 20 tweets per sub-period, typically for 20 sub periods (which seems to be the default subdivision) yields 400 tweets (approx), so for any keyword I'm not able to get more than 400 tweets, no matter what the keyword or the duration is. :(

Here is my code:

from twitterscraper import query_tweets import datetime as dt import pandas as pd from pandas import ExcelWriter

begin_date = dt.date(2019,3,31) end_date = dt.date(2020,4, 1) d= {} handle_list = ["@pnbindia", "@AxisBankSupport", "@AxisBank", "@YESBANK", "@ICICIBank_Care", "ICICI Bank", "@UPI_NPCI", "@NPCI_NPCI", "@NPCI_BHIM", "@RuPay_npci", "@bankofbaroda", "@canarabank", "@UnionBankTweets", "@KotakBankLtd", "@KotakBankLtd", "@HDFC_Bank", "TheOfficialSBI", "@SBICardConnect", "@Paytm", "@PhonePe","@GooglePay","@amazonpay", "@PaytmBank", "@phonepe_safety", "@PhonePeSupport"] for handle in handle_list:
tweets = query_tweets(handle, begindate = begin_date, enddate = end_date, lang = "english" ) d[handle] = pd.DataFrame(t.dict for t in tweets)

And here's what the output looks like for all the keywords:

Ideally there should be thousands of results, PS: I'm using Spyder as the IDE

Help me!

I'll investigate why users are getting a variable number / incorrect number of tweets sometimes here https://github.com/taspinar/twitterscraper/issues/311

romit-actuarial commented 4 years ago

Hi @lapp0 So, It's like I'm getting variable number of tweets as well, the first time I run the code I get 14141 tweets, and then subsequently every query yields only 20 tweets per sub period.

look at this; this is the output of my loop - notice the difference between the first query and all the subsequent ones.

Was just wondering was their a way to fix this issue, as I am in need of this data as soon as possible.
